Hi Char, how are you? I'm excited to give this a go!
Purple goes first but I can't tell which of us is purple. I have rolled a 5: Read a book that has a crown or royal symbol on the cover.
I got a 3, so I'll be in 4.So do I have to read for 4?
That's a good point. I assumed roll a 3 you land on 3? Maybe I should ask Ashley as I also don't know who is who.
Okay, we don't need to ask, someone has already asked.1 counts, so if i roll a 3, I'm on space 3
Roll 1: 5Task: Read a book that has a crown or royal symbol on the cover
Book:
The Prince and the Commander by Layla MoranDate read: 26th December 2024
I rolled a 4 so am now on 9 but won't start reading until you finish :)
I'll finish mine by tomorrow!Sorry for the delay
Had some personal stuff to wrap up!
I got a 3 againSo I'm at 6 - Set in fictional world
I realised I need to read two for the arrow.I've finished book 1 (clock on the cover), now need to read 'word secret found in the text'
Finished book 2. Will wait for you to finish before I roll again.Btw please don't fee rushed. I usaully read a book a day and have plenty of challenges to keep me busy 😊
Hi Jessica!!I finished my book
I rolled a 6, which puts me at 12
Hi ^_^I rolled a 1 so I'm in 35
Read a book with a character who has your dream job. I honestly don't know what my dream job is but will have a think.
I read Hot Saltwater Kisses where the MC is a scuba diver which sounds like a dream job so am using for 35.
Rolled a 4 so on 39 - Multi-coloured/Rainbow style cover
I rolled a 6, so flowers on cover : 18
Finished mine. Rolled a 1 so am on 40.Read a book that incorporates elements of magical realism.
Finally read a book with Magical realism. Rolled a 1 so on 41: read a fantasy with a unique magic system
