#bookopoly

[ownedbybooks]

A few days ago I’ve found about the Bookopoly game, created by booktuber Becca and The Books, and since I reached my yearly book goal last night, I will try the bookopoly to continue my readings from now on!

Note: I haven’t started used the board I’ve created for myself yet, because I’m in the middle of a readathon. Once the event is finished, I’ll be using my bookopoly board to choose my next read!

The coloured houses/streets are book genres (from least to most read)

Railroads (in purple) and utility are some reading projects of mine.

Chance and community chest is more of random book spots, but the Chance is a random book from my TBR queue and the Community Chest I have to make a pool here on tumblr (tes you guys are going to help me lmao)

Taxes slots I’ve decided to play with the idea of it, so… Luxury tax is reading a 500+ pages book, and Income tax is to read my most recent book added to my TBR queue

And for the corners I also tried to do something related, in some sort of way??? Go is to read my next book on my TBR queue, Go to jail send you to book jail and I will only get out of it once I read a sequel (lmao), and free parking is to read one book from my “12 books for 2024” list.

And last, but not least, if I roll a double, I have to roll the die again.

In 2022 I did a project of reading a bunch of books related to Winnie-the-Pooh all year. This year I’m going to do a bookopoly project.

Bookopoly is a game created by Becca and The Books on youtube, based on monopoly, which gives prompts to choose books to read. Every year (I think) she does a readathon, called Bookoplathon, and creates a special board for it.

I’m going to take the board from the September 2022 Bookoplathon and attempt to land on every space on it. (Obviously impossible but it’s fun!)

Unlike, with the Winnie-the-Pooh challenge where I summed up all the books at the end of the year, in this one I’m going to post the books as I read them because who knows how many books it’ll end up being?

Tag will be: bookopoly project

Mars Hall Legacy Academy is Back in Session

Welcome to another exciting year at Mars Hall Legacy Academy! When the Covid-19 pandemic shut the world down and there was little else to do other than just be at home we made the decision to transition fully more of a “year round” schooling approach. Then as things progressed we shifted again and now even though we do a “year round” model we have moved to where the “reset” or “start” of our…

Drew myself a little board game to mix up my tbr list this year. It's not the most elaborate design, but I just wanted to scribble it down in an hour or so. I took the inspiration from those bookopoly boards, but changed it because my goal is not to collect points for reading but to pick books from my tbr "at random". Now every time I finish a book, I get to roll a dice and find a book in my tbr list that fits the personalized categories. It's been fun so far.

🩰2024 Reading Journal🎀

My sisters and I got matching journal sets for our 2024 reading goals; mine has a ballet and ribbons theme. (You can see some of the associated washi tapes in some of my spreads!) The big blank spaces next to the book titles are going to have small custom-print stickers of their book covers once I've read enough to print a batch. The two-page spread is for Bookopoly: a year-long reading challenge that I officially started in February. I would have made it around the board once already if I hadn't landed on Go To Jail. :/

I'll do separate posts at some point for my individual reads; I don't think there's enough interest to make one post per book so I think I'll do 5 or 6 books at a time.

Blog 10: Books from the 00's

I'm reading Late Bloomer by Fern Michaels, you can rely on her for that fantasy of suddenly becoming very rich. In this book Cadwell Jordan moves back to her hometown to take care of her retired actress grandmother, who gets a lot better just by having her in her life again after raising her for 3 years when her parents fled after a mysterious accident. It's kind of like It I guess with no clown and 300 pages, I mean I think it should be longer. I mean I know saying "why isn't a reverse harem of Bev Ed, Ned, and Fred" it's like well, it simply isn't that! Get a grip! Read the summary! When they said "oh, and Ed is single too," they were kidding! I tried Name of the Wind but I might not continue it. I picked up Dead Until Dark Again and it's funny how different the second half is from the first half! Well I actually started this in March, um, and it's a bit too action packed, it sort of feels like 3 unrelated plots are happening, typical reality for someone like Sookie Stackhouse, the murder equivalent of your cat getting sick again as there is a new hire at work and you've lost your flipflops. to make any sense due to the long stretches of time I've inserted into it, the romance is cute.

Dead Until Dark fits the prompt of "building on the cover" (the burning down vampire house ;; from September 2022 Bookopoly, which I was running for myself this month, because I still have the board and it's fun. Well you know what Becca just announced: Spookoplothon, October Bookoplothon! And wouldn't you know it Dead Until Dark fits the parallel prompt on the new board: purple!

I'm also reading Darius the Great is Not Okay, and I keep crying about it. It's about highschool stuff like feeling left out and trying to talk to your dad. It is not a stupid 00's book. And I have the sequel!

On Friday I went swimming, which really was great. I'm always complaining now, this week, yesterday, because it's only high 80's. Which is very hot in the sun, on a calm, still day, with increasing humidity. Is that good swimming weather? It's not the weather I'm complaining about, it's how much work goes into swimming. Changing, getting towels, getting drinks, drying off, and so on... Also, I prepared wrongly for this summer. This week in particular, last year, was 110 and on fire, and I was very stressed out because I didn't want to have to evacuate all the animals alone. In June it was 80's and always rained and I basically threw that away, sleeping through it. And this week it's finally back to 80's. It was only 105 those two days I made sure to complain about it.

On Saturday I picked up another book by F. Paul Wilson for Halloween to pair with Midnight Mass a friend gave me. This book is The Tomb, it's like Three For The Money which I read last week, instead of bounty hunters it's a PI looking for, so far, a creepy looking necklace and a missing person his ex's mother. I think PI's dislike cops more bounty hunters but cops get in the way of either. It is dissimilar in that it's from 1984 and Three To Get Deadly is from the 00's.

On Sunday I had stewed pork. On Monday I watched the big game. On Tuesday I swung by Friends of the Library to get Wicked Business because I liked Three To Get Deadly alright and so I'm giving Lizzie and Diesel another shot. Basically this week is all about stupid books from the 00's. Incredibly I have a book about the Millenium Meltdown of computers bricking themselves (or worse) at midnight on 2000, but the kicker is it's from 1998 so it's not about the hysteria, it's just conspiracy theories about microchips, I'll have to start that too since some of these books are actually on the cusp.

Weirdly I'm set up nicely to try that challenge I had of reading (finishing) one book a day, maybe start on the 15.

It’s a crime that no-one wanted to play this with me.

Hello dear bookblr community and dear followers!

I’m slowly coming back from a big break from tumblr and here are some news from me:

🔘 I’ve read almost 40 books this year already because it was my way to escape from suffering in my last job.

🔘 I’ve finally changed my pfp to a new one! Hooray to new beginnings!

🔘 I’m hyperfocused on the Bookopoly idea by Becca And Books! 👁️👄👁️ I want to make my own board once I reach my yearly book goal.

🔘 I’ve been doing an Animorphs buddy reads with some internet friends, and I’m currently on book #20!

Have I missed something from the bookblr community in these past months? How are you all? Should I do some tag games? Should I talk more on what I’ve read this year? I’m open to new post ideas!

[readingbooksinisrael]

Prompt: Published or set in the 2020s or after (square 15)

Book read: Word War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War/Max Brooks

Why: This book doesn't say exactly when it happens and by my figuring the interviews happening in the early 2020s are around the tail end of when they could be.

What I Wanted: Another reread. I wanted to remember why I loved this book so much.

What I Got: It was great to reread since there were a lot of amazing little details that I didn't get to notice the first time I read it, just figuring out the War timeline. Also, I remembered that I love how human the characters are.

Becca’s Bookoplathon TBR-

I decided to join in with a lot of the book community and participate in Becca’s Bookoplathon. I did everything on my computer because if you’re not a BookTuber then what’s the point of printing out all the things. But I had some fun. I planned on five rolls for this readathon so I’d have room to read other things that I actually need to get read. Let’s look at what I got:

Roll one: I rolled a double 3 which meant that I already have to add a roll. Love that for me. I got Dark Cover and I chose The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.

Roll two: I rolled a 5 which landed me on Disability Rep. There’s only one book I’m planning on reading for September that fits this so I’ll be reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix which features Harry dealing with PTSD. As someone will PTSD, I see obvious signs of PTSD in this one so that’s why I say that despite it not being explicitly stated in the text.

Roll three: I got another 5 which moved me over to Middle Grade. I wasn’t planning on reading any middle grade during the month of September, but I was for October so I just switched a couple of things around to make it work. I’ll now be reading V. E. Schwab’s City of Ghosts in September.

Roll four: I rolled another 5 which started getting suspicious so I switched to another roll the dice thing on the Internet after this pick. But that meant this roll landed me on First in a Series. For that I chose A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro.

Roll five: I rolled another 5. Yes, even with a different set of dice on a different roll the dice website. Statistics, man. It landed me on Fire on the Cover. I don’t think I’m cheating with this one, but let me know if I’m wrong. I'm going to read a book I got for free in a bookclub I’m in on FB and that’s Starstruck by Brenda Hiatt. I think the falling stars would count.

Roll six: The roll I didn’t want to add, but had to thanks to getting a double right from the start. I rolled a 3. The three landed me on another cover based prompt. It was to read a book with Nature on the Cover. Thankfully I was already planning on reading The Magicians by Lev Grossman.

All of this is going to be part of a bigger monthly TBR that I’ll post on the first. Happy reading, everybody!

Bookopoly Board Game with Printable Templates

Home | Etsy Store| Template Gallery| Portfolio| Mailing List| YouTube| Ko-fi Etsy Patreon YouTube Instagram Pinterest There are so many versions of bookish monopoly out there and they are all great but they don’t quite work for me. I wanted my own board with prompts that I will actually do. Since I was thinking this way I figured a few other people might be as well. So, I created a…

Another Month, Another Reading Challenge :D

A day late, but yesterday marked the start of Becca's Bookoplathon from Becca and the Books on YouTube. I printed everything out if you check out her announcement video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1elYZdgO40&t=415s

For my first roll, (from starting on the GO space) I got an 11, which landed me on books published or set in 1999 or before. I chose her recommendation from her Bookoplathon book recs video, Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb and I am reading it on my Kindle. Someone in the Discord chat (there is a Discord group for this and I love it! It is really active and really inviting-the invite linked in the announcement video) said it was a tad dense- so I did borrow the audiobook from Libby as well, just in case I need a little extra help.

But I am doing the roll as I go, because I am very much a mood reader, and need to be able to have freedom and no prompt restrictions, and this is perfect the prompts are so open and encompass every type of book and genre and sub-genre you can imagine. If you are the amazing types that can stick to a book for a prompt, you can roll with what you normally read. For example, you can roll 3 times to get three books, if you read more books a month, then roll 5 times- etc. I can't explain anything, so check her video out, everything is explained in detail.

I am only on page 24, but I am really interested the writing is so magical and the way the first chapter is written, gripping. I was hooked right away!

I am so excited to keep playing this game- it makes me want to read even faster!

I am also logging my reading minutes this month for the Trevor Project reading challenge! And I have a Fundraiser set up! total minutes read for the month if you only stick to the 20 mins a day is 600!

Does anyone will the Bookoplathon

I want to WIN (we could even team up on who gets the hat) not just parallel play. Do we get to buy spaces if we were the first to complete it? And then charge people to complete their ptompt when they land there?
