Recap of special rolls:

If you roll:

1-1: The current leader must move back 3 spaces on their game board and read the book where they have landed next.

Any combination totaling 7: You move 7 spaces and stay on that space, but you may read the book you land on OR one book forward or one book back - - your choice.

6-6: Don't like the book you will land on? You may roll again.

3-1: You get to take pick someone's next move on the board. The admins will use random.org to decide who will be moved. You get to decide which book they must move to next on their game board - - backward or forward -- within a 15 book radius. So you can move your opponent up to 15 spaces back or up to 15 spaces forward to the book of your choosing. Should you be reluctant to move another player ,or if you do not respond to an administrator's request to designate the move, random.org will move the player - odd rolls will move the player backward and even rolls will move the player forward.

2-1: You may use up to 3 of your participation points to move yourself ahead up to 3 spaces.

6-5: You must read a book that's on someone else's board and NOT on your own before you may roll again. (extra note here: you may read the book you land on first and then read the other person's book, or vice-versa. So two books must be completed before you re-roll).

4-4: Receive 4 participation points for the next book you read/review.

2-3 Get an extra "swap" that you may use anytime during the game.

6-4 Earn a surprise advantage to use anytime during the game

Unfortunately, the page count on Amazon (which is what we use to verify - - Amazon, hardcover) is 656. I see Goodreads has it as 848, but we always use Amazon because GR is often inaccurate.

So that's a dice roll of 3. So sorry :(

Roll requests for 4/1:

Olivermagnus (3)
Pam (1)
Cheryl (2)
Jen (2)

My new Porter board is set and I'm ready for my first roll!

Do I get to carry over the extra swap I won and didn't use from the Clerk level?

I would like another roll (2) please.

I'm read for another roll. I read The Last Policeman from Heather Reads Books' gameboard #65 and am an hour (over 50%) from finishing my #97.

This roll should take me to Porter role once I finish posting my reviews.

If you won the swap as an extra advantage, you can carry it over. But you can't carry over any leftover swaps from the original 2 you were given as a "clerk".

I'm ready for my next roll please (1).

I might want to use one of my "anytime" rewards for two extra rolls. Can I ask you for that afterward?

Roll request please :) (Clerk Level: 2 dice)

Congratulations Jen!

Sue 5-1
Tien 3

Nancy, your special advantage is you can add someone else's roll to your own. You may choose when to use the advantage, but the other person's roll must be in the same daily batch as your own.

Is there a Shake It Up Sunday?

Theresa, I sent Anita an IM reminder-

Tien wrote: "A roll (1) please, ta!"

Tien, I do not see your review for Genesis-I cannot move you until that review is up.

Shake It Up Sunday

I almost forgot about this!!

This week's selection is Hannah.

But you rolled a 1, so there's that!

Lol I just remembered this difft rule in Porter and came back to retract 😅 oops! I'll do my best to remember from now on.

No worries-I figured you were just adjusting to be with the elite-LoL

Joanne wrote: "No worries-I figured you were just adjusting to be with the elite-LoL"

lol - it's not easy! I guess that's why they're the elite

also, do I keep my roll above anyway or should I come back to request when I posted my review for Genesis? I'm assuming the former?

Are you only half way with Genesis? It is really Anita's call, but I would think a new roll if that is the case. But wait for Anita (and by the way nice to see you trying out "JoAnne Rules" 🤣😂)

I'm ready for another 🎲 dice roll (5) Thanks.

My last book was 560 pages

Yes, please just keep your roll, but don't take the move until you've finished the book and review. It was just an honest mistake, and it's not really a big deal.

Lol, I think you mean (2).

a) If you read a book longer than 500 pages you get to roll an extra die for every incremental 100 pages. So a 500 page book let's you roll two dice on your next turn.

What an idiot. I cut and pasted my last request and didn't really look at it. Sorry.

I'm ready for another roll. (2)

I am ready for another roll. Slow as I am, I am pursuing my list nonetheless. Thanks!

Review posted, and I'm ready for a roll (1)!

Rolls for 4/3:

Olivermagnus 2-3
Joy 4
Booknblues 6-4
MargieD2017 6-4
Pam 6

Booknblues and MargieD both got today's special roll. Your advantage is the ability to add the number associated with your birthdate to any roll (one time use). So if you were born on May 4th, then you can add 4 to any roll. If you were born on February 20, you can add 20 to any roll.

Wow! That's a GREAT Special Roll!

Oh my.. so 10 becomes 27 for me! That's one impressive roll!
Thanks!

It is 28 for me!

Also, I'm rolling off the board. Do I need to finish my book and post a review and set up a new porter(?) level before requesting the next roll?

Mine would be 28 as well! I haven’t even looked at the special advantages that go higher than the clerk level. I assume I will Sunday be a porter. But that I would figure it out when I got there. But would love to use that one!

Wow, if I ever get it, it is 30 for me!

Post your review for Clerk before moving onto Porter BnB-The rules change in Porter and there are no parenthesis on the next levels, therefore I can not place you there until your review is up.
If this is wrong, I am sure Anita will chime in, but I am 99% this is right.

BnB- you do not have to use this special roll right now, your ten takes you off the board, not sure if you realized that-Just make sure that you note on your personal board that you got have the advantage.

Thanks, Anita!

I'll post my review for Genesis in a few hours (after I finish work) :)

Congrats BnB for graduating to Porter level! I hear things are rocking in the Caboose! You don't want to miss out on the fun.

I did realize that. I'm saving my 28.

Only great if your birthday is late in the month! I know I'm not really competing, but that would only add 1 to my roll! LOL!
