This thread is to request book picks when you land on:
1. [U]tilities square; OR
2. [P]roperty square where assigned task is not appealing or you were unable to source books for assigned task

Things to Remember:
1. Only 1 request per post (if you have rolled 3 times and therefore have 3 requests, then do 3 posts)

2. As you roll the dice and make requests for book choices for yourself, remember to take the time to make choices for others who have posted requests, so they can start reading.

3.If there is more than one unanswered request AND the requests are from more than one player, please respond to a number of requests (not just 1). If all outstanding requests are from the same player, please only respond to one.
(ie. if there are 2 requests outstanding but both are from Bea then only respond to 1. However if the 2 requests outstanding are from separate players, say Bea and Charity, then please respond to both, if you have the time)

Tien,
Should the thread with the overall directions (" Bookopoly - 2021")
be starred as well? I had to hunt for it down the list of individual people's boards.


message 4: by Marina (new)

Marina (sonnenbarke) | 1507 comments I've seen you guys started rolling already, so I've done the same - I know reading starts from 1st December but I like to plan ahead :)
Looks like I'm the first to place a book request... I landed on U: Monopoly Rail, so I would appreciate it if someone could pick 3 books from my shelf.


message 6: by Marina (new)

Marina (sonnenbarke) | 1507 comments Thanks, Dee, that was quick! Dark Road to Darjeeling is one I really want to get my hands on, as I've loved the series so far... so I'll go with it :)

That was really fast, D.G.! I read Livia Lone a couple of weeks ago and really liked it. I just put The Night Trade on hold at my library. If it shows up quickly, I'll go with it. If not, I'll read Children of Blood and Bone. Thanks for the warp speed picks :-)

(I have other genres in there but widowhood has made me very leery of other genres...I have to be in a mood to listen to anything non romance.)

The list of "similar" books to P&P is baffling. I totally get Jane Eyre and even 50 shades (sort of) but Gone Girl? The Diary of a Young Girl? The Hunger Games???
