🎲 How to Play: (view spoiler)[
Spin and Move: "Roll" the dice and move forward based on your roll.
Watch for Arrows! 🚀 Climb higher up the board! 😱 Slide back down and regroup!
Reading Tasks: Complete reading tasks based on where you land on the board.
Arrow Spaces: If you land on an Arrow Space, you must complete BOTH tasks associated with that space. ⬆️ Arrows will maximize your score, since you'll get points for BOTH spaces, but ⬇️ Arrows will earn you negative points (only the space you landed on, not where you ended up after sliding down).
Winning: Reach space 100 (or February 28th)! The player with the most points at the end wins!

Helloo!

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.

Yeaa, we should probably ask Ashley

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: 5
Task: Read a book that has a crown or royal symbol on the cover
Book: The Prince and the Commander by Layla Moran
Date 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'm done with mine!!

I got a 3 again
So 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.

I got 5, so 23

Finally read a book with Magical realism. Rolled a 1 so on 41: read a fantasy with a unique magic system
