April LitLand 2023

It's a dreamy, hazy April LitLand with this late afternoon lighting.

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 the 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 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 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 one 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.

I adore that you changed the board location so as not to interrupt kitty love fest 😻

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Hahaha I would have felt terrible if I had made them move. 😸 They own this house.

[@hollysreadingrambles5490]

I need to read some Emily Henry. Good luck with your tbr🥰

[@ericawill2523]

The Psy - Changling series is one of my all time favorites. I hope you enjoy it.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

I’m excited to read it! So many people said it was an all time fave last month!

[@christinaricee]

Erwin and Gizmo legit made me laugh out loud 😂 Maybe do the makeup as a reel/KZbin short! 😍

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

They rule this house! The minute I stood up they were all “Don’t mind if I do” Love the idea of a short though! I keep forgetting that feature!

[@tibbarasden]

Enjoy your reads. Looks like a good stack.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Thank you! It’s got a good mix, so I think it could be a good month.

[@sweet_t_reads]

The 'everything' book matches your hair! Speaking of hair we totally are Ying and yang. I have purple fading into blue hair :) And your shirt is epic

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Yesss!! Thank you! I love that we kinda match. I need to refresh mine before too long though.

[@KLC228]

I had no idea what the Siren Queen was about but it sounds so good omg! I think seeing the make up challenge would be fun, if you didn't want to do a full video you could put it in a vlog (if you're up for those right now). Or maybe a short if you wanted to it that way. Good luck on your tbr!

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Thank you!! I keep forgetting about shorts, so that’s a great idea! I’m really hoping Siren Queen lives up to my hype here because I’m really excited.

[@thePMreader]

WHOA! You're sooo close!! I really liked People We Meet on Vacation but I'm a sucker for friends to lovers haha

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

SO SO close and I'm not entirely sure what to do with it. 😅 I think I'm 50/50 on friends to lovers; I end up loving it or feeling meh about it. So fingers crossed for this one!

[@TheLostReader]

I read Beach Read by Emily Henry, and I love it. People We Meet on Vacation is on my TBR. I just hope Litland won’t be mean to you next month.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

I hope so too! It’s done it before though so I never know!

[@erinfox2671]

I’m personally a little “blah” about Emily Henry (I’ve read all three - FOMO) but People We Meet On Vacation is my favorite of her first 3. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Enjoy!

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Yeah, I kind of felt that way about Beach Read. Like, it wasn't bad but I just didn't love it as much as other folks did. So I'm going in hopeful here but won't be heartbroken if it doesn't work out.

[@erinfox2671]

I adore you, but I have ZERO interest in make-up. Personally, I don’t use it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

That's ok! Everyone's got different likes/dislikes. That's why I ask this kind of stuff.
