You need to do whst I do: in the private notes box below review box on review page, write down when you start reading it what challenges and games you are using it for and prompts. I also ID tags and page on if it applies. Too easy to forget.

I have it on a spreadsheet but forgot to look at the spreadsheet! Well, no big deal, still finishing a couple other books.

I don't have review pages as such, I only post reviews in specific threads, such as on PBT. All I do is assign stars. I feel like GR has so many reviews that they don't need mine.

I've passed the half-way point of my book ....

Amazon has just let me know that my $6 Subdue book is coming today!!!!! That was hard to find. Must finish Obsidian Tower first. But there is a chance I will be asking for a roll by the weekend!

What a lovely message to find this morning, thank you Amy! I was checking in to see if I got shook, or moved, or otherwise Ursula-ed and found this instead :)

I’m ready for my next roll please.

I'm so glad you saw it. I am always sensitive when new members come in, that our newer members should know that we are still excited about them too, even when they smoke us on the subdue train - lol! In all seriousness, glad you saw it. Love the new energy that you and others are bringing to us this year.

I don't have the authority to answer this. But I have been going on the assumption that once we make the list it is set. So the urge to DNF, well you kind of have to finish and review the book and move on. Even if you hate it. I have hated a few.... but I also have seriously cleared my TBR so I can add some better things.

I had to get back on because I remembered something important. You could always use a swap. I forgot to use them. I have done it only once when the book came, and I realized I could not tolerate that thing to save my life. But the swaps have to be a equal or more length. You cannot swap for something shorter.

I've used a swap when I needed to DNF a book.

Just post it here and note on your gameboard. And make sure you have a swap available - either the initial free ones with each board or additional ones earned from special rolls.

I'm ready for a roll (1), please & thank you :)

Oooh I've made it into the Private Parlor Car (Or I will move there once I finish my current book and post the review...)

And my streak of NO special rolls continues ....

If you run out of swaps, Kathleen, do not sweat it. Anita, nice person that she is, will find a way to get you moving again.

I will have plenty to keep me busy."

And the point of this game was to reduce the TBR! But we can all relate.

Boy, can we all relate!! At least the list should be shorter of things I *own* that I haven’t read. But the general TBR … not so much!

Coming quick! Look out! Amy is on the move!

I am ready for my next roll, please! (1)

Rolls for 7/12:

Kate 6-4

Kate, your advantage works as follows (to be used anytime). Do you own a car? If so, look at the license plate, add all the digits, and you may move forward that amount at any time.

Awesome! Such fun! Yes I do own a car - the digits are ‘65’ so that gives me a very welcome 11 when I need it. Will note on board.

Anita & JoAnne, I am going to use a special move earned on 3/21 to use 3 participation points to move ahead 3 spaces. I will note it on my Board. With my roll of 3 today, I landed on #81 so this will put me on space #84 instead.

I am ready for my next roll of 1 die.

Cora! The butler was beginning to think you were taking up permanent residence in Royal Coach! Though he is going to miss you - hope you brought him a pair of Mickey Mouse ears from WDW as a parting gift.


Glad to see you on the move!

l am using another special advantage to read a book l passed instead of the one l landed on (earned on 1/15). l noted it on my board.

Robin's Subdue Train Position

I had a a short book and am ready for another roll (1).

May I have my next roll (1), please. Thanks!

I'm dashing off my review before a long workday - but I am a coming. Give me Five!

Extreme Frustration - I want to absolutely SCREAM! But there is no time. Now late for work.

I am ready for the next Porter one dice roll. I posted my review. But when I tried to cross out on the gameboard, it crossed out my entire board. Sorry (for myself.) So. I went to try to find out what went wrong and I cannot even move the cursor up to the edit box.

I am already late so will have to fix this later. So frustrating.

Figured it out! So angry. Zoom is doing the same thing to me too, and I am furious. I had to cancel two patients on Tuesday due to this madness of them telling me to figure it out using their support videos. I couldn't even schedule my patients due to their update. They said my plan doesn't allow me to speak to a live person, I need ten licenses for that. Nor even use the chat bot. They gave me the most inane response. There is no respect for people who cannot make sense of email or Fact sheet or you tube videos that don't address the specific question. This is my career, and I hold these people's lives. Its not a small matter. I hate this technological world so much. Its simply greed. There is no reason why they cannot call me. That said, I figured out how to save my board. That was a simple fix, once I started over, I could move the cursor.

I know how much this visit from your bestie means to you, my dear friend, and I am sure suitable supples from the bottle shop and grocery are being laid in. I have already approved CGI Tom's leave to serve as your back porch attendant and gofer. But I have two very serious questions:

1. Do you, hubby, and daughter have a good criminal defense attorney on speed dial?

2. Has Natalie upped the bail money fund?

I have asked that daughter gets pictures when you are hauled away in the paddy wagon.

Have a great time! Don't worry about us, I have a premonition of the Mods this December planning for 2024 and deciding, NO games that require daily monitoring!

I'm ready for another roll please (1).

I read my landed on book plus another 6+5 roll bonus. I read River of Teeth which is on Joy's Conductor Loop 2 board #48.

😂-Natalie will be with us a few days and then she is off to Seattle for 5 days-Bail money will be obtained before she leaves, rest assured.
