Booklikes-opoly 5/20 roll

It has been a busy week. But I managed to find time on Monday to roll the dice. Now I'm finally able to create a post.

 

 

 

Landed on:

 

I found a book set in India:

The Bridge Home by Padma Venkatraman

 

This book came out in February and I've been meaning to read it, so that works out. And I was able to borrow a copy from the library - so win-win!

Trench by Steve Alten

Review:

The Trench - Steve Alten, Bruce Reizen

 

Audience: Adult

Format: Audiobook/Owned

 

 

 

This is book 2 in the Meg series. It was very similar to the first book. Not a bad killer shark story but I still had issues with the way the author characterized the women in the book.

 

I won't be continuing the series.

Other squares

Reblogged from: Obsidian Blue

The railroads:

 

 

The questions

 

 

The novelty squares:

 

We are doing something completely different with the novelty squares this year. If you land on any of the following four squares, you put the card in your pocket to play later and roll again immediately to move to a reading square. 

 

If you land on a square that you just can't come up with something to read, and you have one of these in your pocket, you can play it at any time regardless of what the square prompt says.

 

The Scottie Dog:

 

 

The race car

 

 

The robot:

 

 

The cat

 

 

 

Spin the Wheel Decide

Last, but not least, the 4 corners of the board

Reblogged from: Moonlight Reader

 

Every time you pass go (unless you are going to jail, of course), you collect $5.00 for your bank!

 

 

The jail square:

 

If you are just visiting: read enough pages to donate $3.00 to the bail fund.

 

If you are in jail:

 

Roll the dice to determine your bail, between $2.00 and $12.00. Check the bail fund to see if there is enough money there to bail you out. If not, make up the difference with your bank. If your bank doesn't have enough money to bail you out, read your way out of jail.

 

 

Roll 2 dice.

 

A 2 or a 3, sends you to the robot;

4, 5, or 6, go to the race car;

7,8 or 9, go to the Scottie dog;

10, 11, or 12 takes you to the cat

 

 

Do not pass go.
