🎲 ReaD20 TBRoll reading game: Episode 1 - inventing games as I'm desperate for motivation to read 🥲

[@carlinsinger3293]

Prompt suggestions: 1) Do an activity related to the MC’s interests. 2) Paint your nails to match the cover. 3) Do a spoiler vlog on the side. 4) Crochet something smol related to the book.

[@lisztaffe]

Intro is a mood.

[@BookRoast]

🤌🤌

[@carole5648]

My cat also thinks all my crochet projects are for him, naturally, especially while i'm in the process of making them. so i actually made him a little bed/cushion out of really bulky chenille, he won't even touch it.

[@MoJordanReads]

I, first of all, absolutely love this TBR game. But I also LOVE, and will definitely be trying to do this in my life, the non-reading prompts. What a great way to get inspired for other activities. Love, love, love! ❤

[@BookRoast]

Aw yay I hope you do give it a go and love it!

[@Sorcha_Bookish_Quill]

My favourite thing ever is this dark academia bingo board of which 80% doesn’t happen in the traditional way in Ninth House 😂🤣. Love this TBR idea, maybe this is what I need to get out of my slump…

[@jamieserrano827]

Sometimes you just got justify the giant die

[@giantsalsa3977]

[@douniaelyachioui9936]

The book bingo before you read it is such a good idea! I might also try to do it. (In dutch bingo, you only have a bingo if the card is full)😊

[@BookRoast]

I really had a lot of fun with that prompt!

[@chelsey8737]

We call full board bingo blackout! At least here in the US

[@Mochi.is.typing]

not me thinking of re-doing your readathons today because I'm in a reading slump... just for you to upload this video today - absolutely love it!

[@BookRoast]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@olala6573]

I loved The house of hollow! The atmosphere of this book was amazing! 🥰

[@seeowlread]

Books and reading games AND crochet?? New favorite channel. 😍

[@BookRoast]

welcome aboard!!! 😊💖

[@LetMeintheLibrary]

I also have a D20 TBR game I've been looking to spruce up to include lifestyle challenges and prompts and it feels like everything clicked when i saw this video! I love your readathons and TBR games because they manage to be cozy but also elaborate at once and that scratches the itch for gamifying these kinds of things! Can't wait for the next episode!😊

[@AbiofPellinor]

I adore your "my head hurts but I'm being really brave about it" jumper. As a fellow migraine sufferer I need it!

[@imaginepageant]

I rolled my TBRs for all of 2022, and a few times in 2023. I had a loooooong list of prompts that I sorted by interest, and drew prompts based on what I rolled on a d20. Things I wasn’t really interested in were for 2-4 rolls, my favorite things were for 17-19 rolls, and so on. On a 1 I had to finish a book I’d DNFed and on a 20 I got to pick any book I wanted. It was so much fun that 90% of my motivation to finish the current month’s TBR was so I could roll for a new one!

[@jell1384]

Loved this idea! Also, did you use a pattern for the basket? Now I'm really interested in making one as well (: Some ideas for prompts could be: make a spotify playlist based on the atmosphere of the book - find an outfit that the MC would wear (and wear it for a day, if you want) - find your favourite quote from the book ...

[@cristinbruggeman9600]

I love this video concept! A fun prompt could be preparing a meal inspired by the book/characters - either something mentioned in the text or something you think the characters would eat.

[@thefaeriewilds]

Dark Rory Gilmore is so funny. I love this mixture of reading/life tasks/rewards :)

[@BookRoast]

I was wrong but it was a fun guess haha

[@julietteguillemin2050]

I tried Ninth House last year, was not in the mood for a complicated read and read the first 10 pages and put it down 😅 I still have it in my tbr but I'm now scared of it 😂

[@zaravive5809]

I loved this. I would absolutely suggest you keep doing this challenge for as long as you have fun with it. It really was fun to watch and served your mood readery ways perfectly, I think. And it got you reading! (Your basket and the cats claiming it for themselves was a personal highlight, but this was all around a success anyway.)

[@whitneyhendrix8075]

I love making bingo cards for stuff like waiting at the airport or going on vacation, making one for a book is such a good idea and would help as motivation. Thanks for the idea!

[@BookRoast]

agree! we made one for a wedding we were attending, makes the ordeal more fun! :D

[@Silverraine1]

This is the first time I've seen anyone do a book bingo like that! Please do it again sometime!! 💝For other prompts how about 'read a chapter outdoors' or 'take your book along on a picnic' (in good spring weather I mean!). And I DNF'd Ninth House after around 5 chapters, because I was so bored! When something did happen it wasn't exciting enough (I kept thinking of ways certain scenes would've been more fun) and I also started to dislike the MC. I just assumed she was studying english lit because in the first chapter where she's late, it's because she had to write an essay for modern british novel but fell asleep in the library.

[@isabellavalentine7268]

I liked Ninth House the first time I read it, but I read it again to read Hell Bent and it was such a struggle. Honestly Hell Bent isn’t worth it

[@tierajade]

I love the D20 plushie! 😍 I enjoyed your 1st book roll & LOVE the active prompts added to your book pick! GENIUS!!! ✨️ Zeus! 🐾 I really enjoyed your 2nd book pick as well! I also loved the 3rd pick! 😃 I love the Gilmore Girls reference! ❤️ I love your crochet projects! 🧶 🐾 This was so fun! 💖💖💖

[@verabaetas5142]

I love this TBR game. Your opinion on Ninth House is exactly how I felt when I read it.

[@theresetatlow5605]

Such a fun idea! I love the non-reading prompts too. So fun!

[@TCLinda]

What a fun game! Seriously want to go out and get a 20 die now! 😂 Love the addition of the little prompts/challenges in the books. And your nails! Perfection.

[@adrafinnie4614]

The answer comes in Hellbent you seem to be having a lot of fun with this blog and it’s great to see.

[@kateclark7122]

Ok but that happened to me with Ninth House! I was listening to the audiobook, got lost and confused, so I switched to the physical. 😅

[@SarahEsmaeWolfe]

I felt the same about Ninth House, it seems like everything I should love but I ended up DNFing it for the same reasons you mentioned.

[@ChronicReader]

In the US it’s quite common to not declare your major until your junior year. The first two are your general Ed requirements like English, Math, history and science that you have to take to graduate.

[@BookRoast]

That’s very interesting!

[@suzannemoore404]

This was so fun! I love it. Glad you had a few successes💜

[@Booknerdcc]

I love this concept! Can't wait for the next one 🥳

[@BookRoast]

Aah yay!

[@Lulubast]

That bingo game is so creative! Could make a great Orilium prompt/challenge 😉 I too got stuck at like 85% in Ninth House, took me two years to finish that last bit 😅 Wow that basket! How do you decide what color yarn to get? I don't have yarn but always have decision paralysis in the marker/pencil section!

[@samanthafinn2422]

ooo the author of the first book you read has a new book out last week 👀

[@BookRoast]

I actually have it I just did not put the two together (it may be behind one of the numbers even haha)

[@vampvswolf]

Love your crochet basket!

[@crushgoil]

So so much fun. I loved everything about this.

[@SaraOrmsby]

I found that Ninth House was much easier to follow on audio. The change in tone helped with compartmentalizing the difference sides of the story to make more sense.

[@Thusnelda74]

I loved the prediction bingo - will have to try it someday!

[@sarahlopod]

i'm a newer viewer but i loved this!! it's so much fun

[@MilenaReads]

House of Hollow is a book I didn’t love immediately after reading, but I still think about it a lot.

[@jennawar13]

In the US you can do your first 2 years as “undeclared” for your major but I think Bardugo was just like that’s unimportant (aka forgot?) bc Alex is not really there for the academics 😂

[@wolfsharingan15]

What a fun idea! Loved it! Maybe for a prompt if you don't have this, Draw some fanart or art inspired by the book or characters of the book you read.

[@KelliJ_]

I love the extra activities I think it’s a great idea to help get deeper fun from a book I will be trying the bingo and the mood board! ❤

[@charlotte3elisabeth]

I absolutely adore this. I’ve watched it a couple times already. Such a good idea and a great vlog. For a prompt, you could make a playlist of songs for the book or even one for each chapter depending how many there are.

[@sleepybookdragon]

Love love love this game you’ve made! Amazing video

[@meghanwalsh8952]

AHH I loved the measure 😍 it found it so thought provoking and I absolutely cried on a train listening to it 😂😂😂

[@BookRoast]

i was tearing up a tad at points too!

[@sofiapinheiro]

This video is so much fun, great game and TBR concept ❤ One prompt suggestion that came to mind is: dress inspired by a character for one day.

[@BethWade]

I've been struggling hard with my reading and made my own TBR game to address that, too! I love yours- as a mood reader, it feels like it gives you flexibility but the boundaries you need to not get overwhelmed by choice. Plus, those printouts are gorgeous!

[@KYX1994]

Just a few minutes into the video and this sounds SO entertaining!!🎉🎉🎉

[@BookRoast]

🥳

[@thestoryseekers]

I think cooking/baking something that matches the cover of the book

[@mayhaveproblems]

It was such a fun watch! Those little tasks just gave everything a little ✨️

[@andra7481]

I love everything about this vlog and TBR game - I think it’s gonna be another comfort cosy video of yours to watch on repeat 🥰

[@BookRoast]

🥹 warms my heart to hear

[@ReadingwithYoallitl]

we love a good tbr game. i love this idea so much

[@KristinKravesBooks]

This is such a great idea and I love that it got you to pick up books that weren't high priority. I need to do something similar!

[@kaislakuurama]

You are so bright and inspiring! These ideas you come up with are absolutely lovely, as is the whole video. Super sweet!!

[@maartjedegroot9598]

Your sweater with the head quote ❤

[@EFergDindrane]

Love, love this game!

[@jio5680]

This game idea is brilliant and I'm definitely trying it for myself.

[@elskabee]

what a fun idea! also so glad you liked House of Hollow :)

[@bookshelf_gems8754]

Love this TBR game and the activity prompts. It’s definitely inspiring me! 😍

[@ninarasm]

This game has my brain swirling with ideas! Such a great game!

[@TheFallen_Angels]

I love this series so far!

[@RuthieReadsBooks]

This is such a fun TBR game! I also love that you have little fun things to do in each book too

[@professordekarios]

love a reading game, love the ace-coded colors

[@dreamingofgreentea]

This was such a fun video to watch! I especially loved the book bingo prompt.

[@daryanthelibrarian]

omg the measure is one of my favourite books!! so happy you loved it!

[@bluescented.t]

i very much love this game, makes me want to also come up with some kind of tbr game for myself :D also loved the intro!

[@whitedaylilies]

This was so amazing!!! ❤❤❤

[@wandering0wonderland]

Your videos are always so much fun, love this concept for a TBR game!

[@arobinreads]

So happy for you this went so well! ❤ I really loved the prompts you made, so fun!

[@KM_Loves_Books]

This seems like such a fun idea! Could we please have a mini version as part of Orillium this year? I would love to see those book labels as print outs and then we can roll / use a number generator to pick our books for our courses.

[@emmajanereads]

This video is so great, G! This game could make a great mini-readathon...

[@BookRoast]

So glad you like it!

[@carleene18]

This is such a great idea! You are so creative! I am looking forward to episode 2

[@elisatrrn]

Loving the game; glad you had such a good experience with it (with the two first books). Love that we're guetting multiple episode, can't wait for the next one.

[@BookRoast]

Thank you!!

[@KristiFoxNelson]

Love this! I had to come watch this vlog series from the beginning.

[@BookRoast]

aaw yay so glad you're enjoying it!

[@_daniela_s]

[@wendypridmore2005]

Great vlog. Can't wait for the next

[@amenir3267]

Thanks for this video 😊 You always put my in a good mood, which is nice after a super short night 😅

[@MarinaUz]

The new game is fun! I'm glad you enjoyed most of your books ❤️

[@carlinsinger3293]

I love love love your TBR games. Such a fun one!

[@athenasbibliotheca8099]

The D20 plush is adorable and I really like this game you created for this. It looks like so much fun!

[@BookRoast]

Having the best time!

[@butzichen]

Can't wait for the next installment, I love this idea

[@BookedandBusy]

Love love love thissssss! It was so much fun to watch and your activity prompts were so interesting

[@deikesophie]

So happy to see some love for The Measure! I loved this book so much but barely hear people talking about it. Hearing you talk about it kinda made me want to re-read it now! 😅❤️

[@BookRoast]

It has so many reviews on goodreads but I also barely see it mentioned online!! So good

[@andreeaprus]

This was so fun!

[@Gniaget]

Love the D20 game, I made myself one but for crochet project because I have too many pattterns to choose from ! I spotted some Holo Taco and just wanted to say she is releasing a space collection this saturday that might interest you ☺

[@BookRoast]

A space collection?? 👀👀👀✨

[@Moolou]

I searched the comments to see if anyone else spotted the nail polish💿🌮 (Also looking forward to seeing what the space collection is!)

[@fillingthebookshelves3595]

I love this! So fun!

[@samanthafinn2422]

time to crochet a cat bed 🐱🧶(if its a bed FOR them, will they ignore it? 🤔)

[@BookRoast]

I would be willing to bet they def would ignore it 😂

[@zoipappabeatha]

This is such a fantastic idea for a book game! I loved the prompts ❤

[@Cafe_Scribbles]

I just read House of Hollow in January and absolutely loved it.. glad you did, too! ❤

[@trinforeman54]

The Measure was one of my favorite books of last year.

[@hildureinarsdottir3208]

This was so much fun and I look forward to next episode.!! Also I read the Measure last year and loved it too

[@BookRoast]

Such a good read!

[@jessicabridges4335]

I really like this. You seem happier doing this instead of your other TBR game. I would love to see more! ❤

[@thebooktaurus]

Since you liked House of Hollow, I really recommend her new book, The Invocations (much more paranormal Good Girls Guide to Murder vibes).

[@izaostrowska]

Great game 🎉 loved watching this

[@almasalsa6]

loved the video! suggestion for promt: light a candle than represents the mood of the book

[@jersy6406]

This is such a fun vlog ❤

[@MangaManda30]

This was so fun to watch! Thank you for this! I really enjoyed the prompts; the bingo game is inspired! I might do that with my next read. Thanks for great content! Looking forward to the next installment. 💜

[@just_bea_weird]

The cards are gorgeous btw🤩
