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.

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!

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!

September LitLand 2023 The Lit Review 2023-09-10 | September’s LitLand was all too kind! What a great way to get back in the swing of things!I’ll be giving away a book of your choosing (under $25). To enter and be eligible for this giveaway you need to...1. Subscribe to my channel2 Leave a comment with how to reach you on Instagram or X (formerly Twitter)3. Tell me in that same comment what book you think I should prioritize in October for next month’s game. One entry per person. Officially closed as of 9/16!Check out @gotathingforthings to see the full video I pulled my rec fromLitLand Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5OD5SDTJc8l7P54DfJwsussJCGgIBLEpCurrent 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 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. 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.

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!
