*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 a previous month. BUT I do allow rollovers, so I essentially give myself two months to read a book, or else I have to take a punishment. Punishment pulls also don’t help me advance across the board.
If I pull a pink card with a book on it, I have to go to 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 I have to 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 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 or some other type of reward.
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.

First of all, thank you so much for getting this far down in the description box! I really appreciate you being here and being part of my bookish life. If you like what I’m about and would like to show some support here are a couple of things you can do.
~Like the video! It helps me so much to know what’s working and what I should keep pursuing.
~Leave me a comment! Even if I don’t respond right away, I read all my comments and they mean a lot to me. They also help me get a sense of what this lil community cares about.
💫I also have a Bookshop.org and an Amazon wishlist. 💫There’s no pressure to spend money-either of the above options are amazing! But it’s here if you’d like to poke around. www.amazon.com...

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Good luck with you tbr, Caitlin🥰

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Aw thank you, Holly! Hope you have a good reading month! 😘

[@meganmadkour9328]

This tbr looks great! I hadn’t heard of most of these books, but they sound so good.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

You'll have to let me know if you pick any of them up!

[@Mariahs-Moods]

Witches Seeped in Gold sounds so good! Hope you enjoy your picks this month!

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Thank you! I'm excited to get back to it. It's such a beautiful special edition too.

[@tanyareed5165]

I finished Nobody's Princess yesterday and really enjoyed it.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Oh that's so good to hear! I'm excited to pick that one up this month!

[@AmandasBooktopia]

I hope you finish Castles in Their Bones! I read it last year and really enjoyed it.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

That's encouraging! I'm getting a bit stuck in the first third or so. I hope it picks up for me!

[@AmandasBooktopia]

@@TheLitReviewForBooks I hope so!

[@liminal.season]

I almost put becoming on my tbr this month! Maybe i'll try it soon 🤔

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Oh fun! I highly recommend the audiobook if you decide to go for it.

[@liminal.season]

@@TheLitReviewForBooks I definitely will! I still have a hard time physically reading nonfiction. I'm happy to hear that the audiobook is good!!

[@catherineelmore2004]

That stack looks lovely... But I can't get over the fact that the heroine of the romance is named Kunigunde. My grandfather had two very German aunts named Kunigunde (you pronounced it perfectly except the e is pronounced, or at least it was in my family like an a so phonetically Kunigund-uh). And it's such an uncommon name that seeing a romance novel heroine with it just... Honestly makes me want to grab the book immediately? Especially since... Like the only book I've ever seen with a heroine by that name was Candide by Voltaire, with it transliterated to French. Very, very cool sounding premise!

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Oh that's so cool! Thanks for sharing! I'll see if I can check out the preview of the audiobook to see how they pronounce it like your aunts!

[@garywatters11]

Been dying to read Know my Name for a few years but can never find it in my local bookshop, so may have to bite the bullet and order online.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Depending on your preferences, the audiobook is also great. I started and stopped Know My Name three times over the years but am really glad I finally finished it.

I just took a bunch of pics of my cat being adorable. Does that count as a photoshoot?

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

As a fellow cat owner, I'm going to say yes.

[@KLC228]

Good luck on your tbr, cant wait to see how you feel about Michelle Obamas newest book!

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Thank you! I hope I enjoy it as much as the last one!
