I'm around and rolled!

Got a 7 (3 + 4).

I don't have any to add now but I'm in the middle of 6 books currently (one is 400 pages, two are 500 pages) which I'll have finished over the next couple days. So I'll have some longer ones added soon.

I agree as well, it has positives for both of our teams.

I logged everything I had earlier tonight but they were all in the 300's.

Looking at the numbers, it seems like it would be a good deal for us. And like you said Nichole, we'd be able to go around that side with most of the properties being ones we wouldn't need to pay if we landed on.

Sorry I'm a little behind what I stated my monthly number is. Ended up having a lot of plans at the beginning of this month which slowed down my reading. But I don't have anything planned the rest of the month aside from something this Saturday so I should be able to read more in the second half of the month.

Hello all. I'm back after spending all day yesterday in New York City with my husband (and looking like a lobster because I forgot my sunscreen at home). I'll log my completed books later tonight after I run my errands for the day.

If you have any books over 400pgs, would you mind just popping in and adding them to the..."

None of them are that long. Two of them are a little over 300 pages and the other is only a little over 100 pages. But I'll try to log on later tonight and add them.

I have a few books finished, just need to figure out the tasks. I'll do that this weekend.

Having multiple railroads is usually a good strategy so I'd say go for it.

My vote is also to buy the property.

Thanks! I checked the how to play thread but didn't think to check the team thread.

If we have a book started before July 1st but finished after the challenge starts, can we use that book or no? Some challenges I've done you can use it, some you can't so I wanted to check.

Hi everyone, I'm Melanie. I live in New Jersey with my husband and our 2 cats. I think I've played Bookopoly once before but this one seems to be a lot more involved.

I primarily read romance (historical, suspense, contemporary, paranormal, I'm not that picky) and mystery/thrillers with the occasional sci-fi or urban fantasy (won't read epic/high fantasy though).

I'm looking forward to playing with you all!

I really enjoyed playing this last year so I'm in!
