June LitLand 2024 ~ Watch this TBR Go Off the Rails The Lit Review 2024-05-31 | Welcome back to another episode of my TBR game, LitLand. Come pick my to-be-read pile with me for June!TimestampsJune Goals 1:00May Wrap Up 2:25First Pull 5:18Second Pull 9:02Third Pull 12:04Fourth Pull 16:01Monthly Troll Pick 20:47LitLand Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5OD5SDTJc8l7P54DfJwsussJCGgIBLEp Current LitLand RulesThere are six colors tied to six different genres. Each card I pull advances me across the board and informs which genre I pick from to add to my To Be Read (TBR) pile for the month. I pull four cards to advance across the board each month. If I land on a dot, I have to pull a prompt from my Stuck Square cards; I also use these as punishment cards if I haven’t completed one of my books from a previous month. BUT I do allow rollovers, so I essentially give myself two months to get a book read, or else I have to take a punishment. Punishment pulls also don’t help me advance across the board.If I pull a pink card with a book on it, I have to go to wherever the genre on the card takes me. I also have to pull a Challenge Card and complete that prompt.There are also Troll Bridge cards, but I only pull those if I want to cross a bridge or if I land on a square with a rainbow sticker. I have to complete the prompt on that card within the month or I have to take a punishment. There’s also the Monthly Troll, which is an optional challenge for you and me. I will pull a Troll Bridge card and if I succeed in whatever the challenge is, I can protect myself from punishment in the next month. You’re welcome to play along and take on this challenge with me, but no pressure. At the end of LitLand I get to treat myself with a book haul. Currently, I’m on a book-buying ban until I read 50 of my owned books or until I beat LitLand again.Hopefully, this helps keep us all up-to-date on the rules. Sometimes I make tweaks as I go along, but the current rules affecting this month’s game should be listed above. First of all, thank you so much for getting this far down in the description box! I appreciate you being here and being part of my bookish life. If you like what I’m about and would like to show some support here are a couple of things you can do.~Like the video! It helps me so much to know what’s working and what I should keep pursuing.~Leave me a comment! Even if I don’t respond right away, I read all my comments and they mean a lot to me. They also help me get a sense of what this lil community cares about.💫I also have a Bookshop.org and an Amazon wishlist. 💫There’s no pressure to spend money—either of the above options are amazing!

February LitLand 2024 ~ How Many Books Can I Cram Into One Month?? The Lit Review 2024-02-03 | LitLand chose progress over prosperity this month. Send help 😬**Channels Mentioned**@ExpeditionThroughPages ~ watch Kim and Julie battle it out on their TBRs@BooksandLala ~ Kayla's the creator of Buzzwordathon**Skip Around**January's Recap: 1:22February Goals: 3:53Start of the Game: 6:30Monthly Troll: 20:06LitLand Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5OD5SDTJc8l7P54DfJwsussJCGgIBLEp **Current LitLand Rules**There are six colors tied to six different genres. Each card I pull advances me across the board and informs which genre I pick from to add to my To Be Read (TBR) pile for the month. I pull four cards to advance across the board each month. If I land on a dot, I have to pull a prompt from my Stuck Square cards; I also use these as punishment cards if I haven’t completed one of my books from a previous month. BUT I do allow rollovers, so I essentially give myself two months to read a book, or else I have to take a punishment. Punishment pulls also don’t help me advance across the board.If I pull a pink card with a book on it, I have to go to wherever the genre on the card takes me. I also have to pull a Challenge Card and complete that prompt.There are also Troll Bridge cards, but I only pull those if I want to cross a bridge or if I land on a square with a rainbow sticker. I have to complete the prompt on that card within the month or I have to take a punishment. There’s also the Monthly Troll, which is an optional challenge for you and me. I will pull a Troll Bridge card and if I succeed in whatever the challenge is, I can protect myself from punishment in the next month. You’re welcome to play along and take on this challenge with me, but no pressure. At the end of LitLand I get to treat myself with a book haul or some other type of reward. Hopefully, this helps keep us all up-to-date on the rules. Sometimes I make tweaks as I go along, but the current rules affecting this month’s game should be listed above. **Support My Channel**First of all, thank you so much for getting this far down in the description box!

April LitLand 2023 The Lit Review 2023-04-02 | It's a dreamy, hazy April LitLand with this late afternoon lighting.*LitLand Playlist:* youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5OD5SDTJc8l7P54DfJwsussJCGgIBLEp*Current LitLand Rules*There are six colors tied to six different genres. Each card I pull advances me across the board and informs which genre I pick from to add to my To Be Read (TBR) pile for the month. I pull four cards to advance across the board each month. If I land on a dot, I have to pull a prompt from my Stuck Square cards; I also use these as punishment cards if I haven’t completed one of my books from the previous month. BUT I do allow rollovers, so I essentially give myself two months to get a book read, or else I have to take a punishment. Punishment pulls also don’t help me advance across the board.If I pull a card with a book on it, I have to go wherever the genre on the card takes me. I also have to pull a Challenge Card and complete that prompt.There are also Troll Bridge cards, but I only pull those if I want to cross a bridge or if I land on a square with a rainbow sticker. I have to complete the prompt on that card within the month or take a punishment. There’s also the Monthly Troll, which is an optional challenge for you and me. I will pull a Troll Bridge card and if I succeed in whatever the challenge is, I can protect myself from one punishment in the next month. You’re welcome to play along and take on this challenge with me, but no pressure. At the end of LitLand I get to treat myself with a book haul. Currently, I’m on a book-buying ban until I read 50 of my owned books or until I beat LitLand again.Hopefully, this helps keep us all up-to-date on the rules.

January LitLand 2023 ~ Were Back! The Lit Review 2023-01-03 | Kicking off the New Year with my favorite thing to film, LitLand*Current LitLand Rules*There are six colors tied to six different genres. Each card I pull advances me across the board and informs which genre I pick from to add to my To Be Read (TBR) pile for the month. I pull four cards to advance across the board each month. If I land on a dot, I have to pull a prompt from my Stuck Square cards; I also use these as punishment cards if I haven’t completed one of my books from a previous month. BUT I do allow rollovers, so I essentially give myself two months to get a book read, or else I have to take a punishment. Punishment pulls also don’t help me advance across the board.If I pull a card with a book on it, I have to go to wherever the genre on the card takes me. I also have to pull a Challenge Card and complete that prompt.There are also Troll Bridge cards, but I only pull those if I want to cross a bridge or if I land on a square with a rainbow sticker. I have to complete the prompt on that card within the month or I have to take a punishment. There’s also the Monthly Troll, which is an optional challenge for you and me. I will pull a Troll Bridge card and if I succeed in whatever the challenge is, I can protect myself from punishment in the next month. You’re welcome to play along and take on this challenge with me, but no pressure. At the end of LitLand I get to treat myself with a book haul. Currently, I’m on a low-buy where I’m trying not to add too many things to my TBR but I’m giving myself some wiggle room if something comes up that I really want.Hopefully, this helps keep us all up-to-date on the rules. Sometimes I make tweaks as I go along, but the current rules affecting this month’s game should be listed above.*So You’d Like to Support My Channel?*First of all, thank you so much for getting this far down in the description box!
