Shannon’s comments from the Hooked on Books group.

Thank you everyone for an amazing first bookopoly experience!! I had so much fun reading w everyone! :)

Is there anything else we have to do before end of games? Like retirement account sort of things? Im ngl im very confused about those but there were questions asked in Q&A about the timing so i was wondering

Im fine w that

After quickly looking at the spreadsheet, Im seeing
- The Unmaking of June Farrow
- James
- Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
- Ward D
- A Court of Frost and Starlight
- Mate
- Scythe and Sparrow

These are the books I think are most likely to be read, but please add more or tell me which one we should choose. We only get to choose one

Hey guys we landed on Book Critic's Verdict! We have to pick 1 book that has been read by a player and is in your "bank", but hasn't yet been used.

It should be a popular book because we get $100 x whatever rating the other team has. The other team is chosen randomly by mods after we select the book though.

Has anyone read any popular good rating books?

Plan: Choose a book for book critic's verdict and ask mods to roll for a team

None of my books work

I feel like if we dont have to pay rent on the properties they are planning on building up its not that much of a loss to us. And that we will get 50% from when the other teams land on them. Unless i misunderstood i feel like h th is is a decent deal. We werent going to complete those sets anyways.

The only issue i see is our net worth will drop from losing those properties

We ised it! We also got to collect salary which is always nice!

On the main sheet, it says I can't delete it because that cell is protected. Can you delete it for me?

Ok thank you!

Thanks for the clarification. Just one more question, how do we play our "Get Out Of Jail Free" card?

Hey guys! We landed on the Go To Jail space unfortunately, but we do have a Get Out of Jail Free card. Do we want to use that? I personally think it's a good idea since this is the first time we've landed on it and we only have 9 days left of this challenge (which I didn't realize was this close omg!)

If we passed collect salary, but landed on "go to jail" do we still get to collect salary? I think in the real game, its a no, but i wanted to check in case im not remembering correctly or if this games different
