YA Addicted Book Club discussion

Instead of a regular quarterly challenge, I thought that this time we could do a board game!

The game will run from April 1st to June 30th.

How to play:
1. Roll a single die (it can be a real one or a virtual one—all you have to do is google ‘roll die’).
2. Move to the square you landed on and complete the challenge.
3. After it's completed (it doesn’t have to be done all in one sitting), roll again and complete the next challenge, and so on and so forth.
4. If you land on a square that has a challenge AND a ‘Jump Ahead’ or ‘Roll Again,’ complete the challenge FIRST before moving on.
5. The goal is, of course, to reach the END. You will have won the game after the final challenge is complete.

Two ways to play:
1. Easy version: In order for the challenge to be considered complete, you must read at least HALF the book where applicable.
2. Hard version: In order for the challenge to be considered complete, you must finish the WHOLE book where applicable.



If you finish the game early, feel free to play again! And if you have any questions, please let me know! Have fun and happy reading! 😊

1. START => 4 Comic / manga / graphic novel - Chobits, Vol. 1
2. 2 => A humorous book - Second First Impressions
3. 6 => Jump ahead => Set in a warm climate => Dying in Style
4. 6 => A cover that has 5+ colors => Accessory to Murder
5. 1 => Roll again => 1 => Read 300 pages => A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire
6. 4 => Fairytale retelling => Cinderella Is Dead
7. 6 => Multiple authors => Aurora Burning

I got stuck with retelling, decided to re-read Cinderella Is Dead and at first I didn't get why I rated the book so low. But after reading my own review and going through 50% of the book... yep, it's not the best one :(

Boo :(

Yeah, I was stuck on a book with a green cover for a looong time. So I just finally re-read 😂

I havent really been reading humour, or ya know updating any challenges lately so this one isnt going well for me

I did finally move forward a bit

I was very close to the end, but didn't actually make it. Lol. Leaving off on space 'A book set in space.' With all the sci-fi I've been reading, this one should've been easy, but the sci-fi I've been reading has been set on Earth lol

I got stuck on the "beautiful cover" one

I haven't even started Aurora Burning. It was a very busy month.
