BL-opoly: Dice Roll #7

U P D A T E D

_______________________________

I just about made it through Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility in time to still be allowed to roll today.  Funnily enough, I rolled the same results as with my roll before the last one — a 1+1 double and a 5+4 — even though I’d actually not only gone back to start but also refreshed the page before I rolled for the first time.  Oh well — I guess that comes under the heading of “random”, too, then.

So here we go:

 

 

My first roll takes took me to square 3: School’s Out For Summer — read a book set in a school or college, or considered a “classic”, or that is frequently banned.  I’ve decided to use this square to start my Summer of Sherlock reading program, though not with a book by ACD but with Frank Froest’s Grell Mystery; a crime classic from the early days of the Golden Age of Mysteries.

Length: 304 pages
=> + $3 upon completion
Finished June 5, 2019.

My second roll puts me on square 11: Beach Week — read a book set in a coastal region that you love or would like to visit, or a book with a beach or ocean on the cover.  This one, I’ll have to think about (not that there’s a lack of coastlines I love or would like to visit, but anyway), so in the interim it’s refreshment break time for the crew again:

 

Refreshment time over.  Settled on Julian Symons’s The Belting Inheritance, which has an image of (what I take to be) the Dover Cliffs and the British Channel coast on the cover.
Length: 240 pages
=> + $3 upon completion
Finished June 6, 2019.

Adventures in Arda

Note: This was my summer 2022 project — but while I posted the associated project pages here at the time (Middle-earth and its sub-project pages concerning the people and peoples, timeline, geography, etc. of Arda and Middle-earth, see enumeration under the Boromir meme, below), I never got around to also copying this introductory post from […]

Michael J. Sullivan: Legends of the First Empire

Michael J. Sullivan’s Riyria books have been on my TBR for a while, but until I’d read two short stories from the cycle — The Jester and Professional Integrity — I hadn’t been sure whether his writing would be for me.  Then I found out that (much like Tolkien’s Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and The History […]
