Ok ok I know I’m VERY late with this, but I did want to post January’s LitLand so you can see what I’ve been up to in the last month. February’s LitLand will be out on Wednesday of this week so we can catch up. There’s more coming from me this year and I’m glad to be back in action!
Inspiration and Thanks

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.
At the end of LitLand I get to treat myself with a book haul. For each LitLand book I read, I put $5 towards a book haul. I do still buy a few books here and there during the month, if I buy more than three new books I have to remove $5 from my book haul savings per book I went overboard. I don’t count my book subscriptions since I use those to make content here on the channel, but I am trying to keep my book purchases low at the moment.
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! I really 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 community engagement
I also have an Amazon wishlist. There’s no pressure to spend money—either of the above options are amazing! But it’s here if you’d like to poke around. amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2X4S8WQI73H9?ref_=wl_share
