But that's exactly what I was thinking, Dee. When my kids were young, it never seemed to be the person who started out way in the lead who won the game. Because those snakes are lurking everywhere. Truly a game of luck!

I have it narrowed down to 20 books, I've given myself the rule that unless I land on ebooks or audiobooks then it must be a physical book.
