I am sorry to report that I will not be able to complete this book by my 1/4/16 deadline. I have started reading it but there is no way that I will finish 493 pages in 3 days.

Tien wrote: "Thats ok, Bea. When do you think you'd be able to finish?"
I am hoping for somewhere about the 7th, but it is not due back to the library until the 20th. And, I must admit to having difficulty getting into it...only 31 pages so far. Today is my day to see if I can make a big dent and get at least 150 pages done.

Yay! All 3 sound good to me, and given the horrid one I just finished, I'm in the mood for something fun. I think I'll let the library decide by seeing which one I can get first.

To Catch a Killer by Nele Neuhaus
Apparently, it's the 7th book (d'Oh!) and somehow I don't think I can go back to reading the earlier books though so far, I think I'd like to follow onto the rest of the series :p

And they don't seem to advertise it with the advice that it's number such and such of a series! Like seriously... you have to research it yourself and sometimes (like this one), if you look too early, GR will not have reflect that it's part of series! Although, I can't say I remember I looked but I must've...
I'm a little confused with the background of the characters (4 years marriage breakup, was engaged to someone 2 years ago, someone different in bed... WHO and which relationship does this person refer to again? lol)

D.G. asked, "Question...what are you supposed to do if you fall in "Explore your Mind / Watch TV?"
Per Bookopoly description under Around the Board:
"4. a. JAIL (Watching TV): Read the Biggest Thickest Meanest book on your Bookopoly Shelf at time of being sent to jail
b. JUST VISITING (Explore your mind): Read a book with word in title that is, at least, 3 syllables long. Please choose your book from your Bookopoly Shelf if you can. If not, then from your general tbr."
So it looks like it depends on how you get there. If a regular move, then you are JUST VISITING and would follow 4b.

It's in Post #1, Part B & point 4, DG. :)"
Ahh! That thread is NOT in the Bookopoly folder! That's why I couldn't find it!
Can we add that to those tasks to the Board thread so it's all in one place?

I have been thinking the same thing....wondering why the thread was in the general games location. I guess I forgot to ask you that Tien. Thanks for moving it.
