Oh no, Coralie... You know you're on your 20th book! Karen's on her 18th & Susan will finish with 17... I hope you're getting a lot off your TBR :)

D.G., That's nearly what happened to me (rolled a 2 from square 40)!

I debated switching from audio to paper for The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie so I could finish it sooner, but I decided I like having Flavia's company when I'm stuck in the car doing errands.

So ...
Even though I'm not done with Round 1 yet, I'm starting Round 2:
Rolled 1
Moved to Square 1 (historical)
Book: The Pillars of the Earth
I've been putting it off for a long time because of its length, and because I had trouble believing it could be as good as many of you have said. But so far I'm really enjoying it.

So I was looking for a short non fiction audiobook to listen for the non fiction shelf and I found the following from the library: How To Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion.

With that title, I HAD to pick it up!

And as a bonus, it's narrated by the same guy that's narrating the book I'm reading now and he's very good.

Oops. I forgot to count how many books it took me --- Only 17. This game is fun partly because so much of it is total chance.
