Rachel A. (abyssallibrarian) | 3239 comments Yesterday I landed on square 8. Here is what I added today:

Borrowed The Outsiders from the library (1 space)
Borrowed The Hate U Give from the library (1 space)
Voted in the mini-poll (1 space)
Read for three hours straight (3 spaces)

That brings me to space 14.

Edit: I also played Scrabble again today, but I'm not sure if I can count that more than once? If so, that brings me to the witch on space 15 which chases me ahead 3 spaces to 18.

message 71: by Rachel (new)

Rachel A. (abyssallibrarian) | 3239 comments Yesterday I landed on Space 14, or Space 18 if I could count the Scrabble game once per day. I'm still not sure what the ruling on that one was.

Here is what I accomplished today:
- Complete a read-a-thon game (1 space) (I played the new character scramble game)-- Does On My Shelf also count?
- Read for three hours straight (3 spaces)

If I'm starting from Space 14, that brings me to Space 18 (or 19 if On My Shelf counts? Possibly even 20, since I played Scrabble again today?)

If I'm starting on Space 18, that brings me to Space 22 which is a ghost that scares me back to space 20. Although again, if On My Shelf and playing Scrabble again count separately, then I would have ended up on space 24.

Sorry if I'm complicating things. I'm just a little confused about where certain things count.


message 72: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 259 comments This read-a-thon gave me the push to finish the last three books of my ATY challenge (all in the last 24 hours).

Listen to an hour of audiobook (5 spaces to Space 24)
Read for two straight hours (2 spaces to Space 26)
A book by a female author (2 spaces to Space 28)
A book by a POC (2 spaces to Space 30)
Another book by a female author (2 spaces to Space 32)
Read 500 pages (2 spaces to Space 34).

I'm now on Space 34.

I'm not sure I have been moving correctly for this game but I figure it is just for fun. (I wish I could keep track of my page numbers but I jump around books way to much. I find it very impressive everyone who does keep track of the amount of pages they read).

New moves: Complete a read-a-thon game (Scrabble) Listen to an hour of audiobook, Complete a read-a-thon game (The Ultimate Book Tag)= 1 moves from the vampire + 5 from the second vampire space + 1=Space 24
