Unfortunately, apparently after having a run of good luck with all the hoarded books, I've hit my third snake. Ya'know, I kinda already knew that my luck was bad with this game, so I'm not at all that surprised. It could have been worse, I suppose. I could have hit the snake that came previous to this one and ended up further back.
So I'm running with it... Maybe after this, I'll be able to put all those hoarded books I have into use. XD

Since we already know I hit a snake, let's not drag this update out for too long.
My first roll for this update was an 8, which took me to Square 89: Published between 2000 and 2017. As luck would have it, I have a book hoarded that fits the bill (two books, in fact), but I decided to use Late for the Wedding by Amanda Quick to fill this square.
Rolling again, I ended up with a 10, which took me to Square 99: Snake - go back to 69. Le sigh...
I've been on this square once already, and had considered using one of books I didn't choose the first time around, but I recalled that there was a Simone St. James book that had a cover with elements related to travel (see above), what with a woman carrying a suitcase, and a train running along the right side of the cover. Since I'm still kind of in the mood for Simone St. James, I'm going to go ahead and read this book.
Meanwhile, it looks like I've got a million books hoarded for more possible squares in the future... and, of course, none of them fit the square I slid onto via snake. Boo... =(
But whatevs, this just means I keep reading more books! =D
