[Susan]

I’m actually reading a fantasy book at the moment.

[Bubbles]

Sounds good!

We are trying to fill prompts with short books for money reasons so we will go with which one has lower pages and save the other one for later. We are saving are big books for salary books and we only get to log those salary books once so have to take our top 10 page count when we pass a salary spot. :)

[Shan ~A~]

Not sure where we are, but I finished a short MPG Fantasy Book that I'm about to Post to the SS.

[Bubbles]

Thanks Shan!

[Bubbles]

We just did our second roll and landed on a square where 2 teammates have to read a book by the same author. Funnily enough, Christene just finished a book by Samantha Downing and I read one of her works earlier this week so I am going to use those 2 books for this roll. We keep missing property for some reason lol

[Bubbles]

Great job Shan!! That is a lot of books logged today :)

You are all doing a great job!

[Yasmine]

Hi guys! This weekend sadly I couldn't get any reading done, since I had an infected eye and could barely see, it's all better now, but now is a working week again so I'll only get slowly progress in in my reading

I'm glad you are feeling better! No worries at all. This is all just for fun and every book counts :)

[Bubbles]

Alright, we finally hit a property! We are going to buy Narrative Network.

Our task is to read a book where a small action or decision ripples outward.

Does anyone have one they can finish before 9/11 or has anyone already logged a book that this prompt would work for?

[Shan ~A~]

The shortest one I have that possibly fits is Dream Girl Drama.

Chloe tells a reporter that she is Sig are about to be stepsiblings and that has a "butterfly effect" that causes them both problems. It's 320 pgs.

I can try to find a shorter one after the book I'm currently reading if no one else has read one.

[Shan ~A~]

I also need to add the last book I posted to the SS to my GRs shelf.

O no you are good! We have some pretty big books already so we are going to be good :) Everyone seems to read around the same range

I posted Keep Me - in summary, the FMC sneaks into a mansion to take a picture of an old family heirloom of her boyfriend's family. The ripple effects: she ends up in a fake marriage, the MMC ends up moving countries, her mother ends up reconciling with her, among other things.

[Bubbles]

That's great, Jody! Thank you for letting me know. We will use Keep Me since you already finished it. It is also close page wise with Shan A.'s book, so we aren't using a bigger book for points

[christene_littlelibrary]

It’s our turn now

[Bubbles]

We rolled and landed on New Release Look. I will be using Susan's Deep Cuts because it is our shorter book for those published this year :)

[Bubbles]

Okay, our new roll is read a book with lights on the cover! Has anyone read a book that hasn't been used that has lights on the cover or is reading one now that qualifies? We have to be finished with it by Saturday early evening

[Susan]

I’m currently reading The September House, there’s a light on in the house. Would that count?

[Bubbles]

Susan wrote: "I’m currently reading The September House, there’s a light on in the house. Would that count?"

I'm going to check now. :)

[Susan]

Bubbles wrote: "Susan wrote: "I’m currently reading The September House, there’s a light on in the house. Would that count?"

What's the verdict? I should have it read by tomorrow evening if we're using it.

[Shan ~A~]

If that doesn't work I have which is 298 pgs

or which is 118 pgs.

Both or done just need to be posted to SS.

[Bubbles]

Sounds good! We are waiting for confirmation but we will be able to log one today. Great job everyone :)

I apologize for not checking on this sooner. I did not see any feedback from Ashley, so I'm making an executive decision as her helper and allowing the book to work for that task!

[Bubbles]

Thank you so much!

[Bubbles]

Just checking to see if you were still on track to finish by tomorrow. I have to turn in our info by 8 pm EST so just making sure I know where we are :)

[Shan ~A~]

Bubbles, I posted Miracle on Ladies Mile to the SS if you end up needing it for light on cover.

[Susan]

I’ve been traveling and have a concert to attend tonight. I’m glad Shan A finished a light on cover book. I have 20% of my book left. I’m still reading but getting it done in time is looking tricky! So sorry! I’ll do better next time!

Thank you Shan! I appreciate it and will use it now.

Not a problem! I hope you have fun tonight and remember this is just for fun so don't worry about being better. Lord knows I haven't been great this week either :)

[Priya]

Hi everyone!

Sorry to be inactive. I was not feeling well and so couldn't participate much. I have finished some books though and will add those to the sheet today.

Thanks, Bubbles!!

[Yasmine]

Thanks for the update Bubbles! Sorry for being passive in this game since my first book, yesterday was my best friend's wedding and I was maid of honor, so it was a busy couple of weeks with the finishing touches to get the event to its best state :D Now that's over and I should finally have somy time to myself again and reading :D

[christene_littlelibrary]

What's the luxury challenge?

[Bubbles]

Read either a book over 750 pages or a gilded/foiled cover

[christene_littlelibrary]

I read The Well of Ascension with 792p and I'm about to finish A Discovery of Witches 787p

[Bubbles]

O great! I was reading a gilded book but won't be done until tomorrow so I will use The Well of Ascension.

[Bubbles]

Hi guys! Bringing you a quick weekly update for you all :)

1) We just finished our most recent roll. We bought Jane Austen using Susan's The September House book!
2) We still have the highest net income
3) We currently own 4 properties: Jane Austen, Narrative Network, The Great Gatsby, and San Francisco (Only one team is ahead of us in properties at 5)

Keep up the great work everyone! You are giving me great information and detail on the spreadsheet which is really helping a LOT!

[Bubbles]

Thanks for the update!

[christene_littlelibrary]

It's our turn!

[Bubbles]

Okay guys, we just landed on community chest. Our prompt is Genre Exploration so has anyone read a book that is logged that is from a genre they don't normally read. The higher the page count the better because we get money for this one :)

The Enchanted Greenhouse was a book I read that is out of my normal genre. It was only 375 pages though.

[Bubbles]

That still gets us points so we are good. :)

Thank you Susan!!

Bubbles wrote: "That still gets us points so we are good. :)

Thank you Susan!!"

Yay! Awesome!

[Bubbles]

Who read Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead?

[Bubbles]

Quick update everyone :)

1) We gained 2 more properties finally! We already had someone land on one of our new ones and paid rent so Yay!
2) We now have the lowest net worth but we are very close to 3rd place but things are changing so fast. We will pass a salary very soon which will get us more money very soon
3) We are about to pass a salary, so if you have any books finished, PLEASE fill out the spreadsheet so I can get us more for our salary

Keep up the great work everyone!!

[Bubbles]

Hi guys! We landed on chance and the prompt is to read a book where appearance plays a significant role in the plot. Anyone read a book like that already?

[Shan ~A~]

I finished How the White Trash Zombie Got Her Groove Back where it's important for Angel to not look like a zombie. I can post it later today if no one has anything shorter.
