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 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 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. 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.
First of all, thank you so much for getting this far down in the description box! I 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/hz/wishlist/ls...

the deck was like you will read romance this month and you will like it

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Haha the deck knows! If I have to do this many doubles I'm glad a couple of them are romances!

[@amberpineau1616]

I love to see someone else who is always behind on popular books, LOL!

[@kaylanisimplyme]

Per usual this video was so much fun! Those doubles were really coming for you!

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Thank you, love! And ohmygosh soooooo many doubles!

[@katiemarpe8822]

Yay!! Circe buddy read, here we come! 🥰

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

HECK YEAH BUDDY READ

[@astarreads4214]

The Bridgerton gap is the WORST!!! Almost there though!

[@CoffeeOverApples]

best of luck on your tbr! haha wilbur is adorable

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Thank you! And Wilbur is the cutest. I have to protect him from the cats though because they want to bap him around if I don't keep an eye on him. lol

[@sweet_t_reads]

Hey at least you got to move way forward on the board! Good luck this month!

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

So true! Got some major progress this month!

[@TheLostReader]

I haven’t read Fourth Wing either. Hyped books are always a hit or miss for me. Reading romances helps me get out of a reading slump.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Romance is usually my slump buster too!

[@bekybell5224]

just gotta say I love your fit in this video I read SO LITTLE in May >_< Granted I was really busy, but I'm just hoping to pick it back up going into this month. Excited to see what you think of Faebound, I also keep eyeing that book... I've heard both amazing things and really bad thing about it. So intrigued to see your takes on it and you may be my deciding factor :P Love seeing your cats too.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Ahhh thank you! I was loving the kitschy 50's vibe. Haha and Erwin will happily take the extra love. Some months just don't hit with books though! You'll get back into the groove when it's right or when something catches your eye. I'll let you know about Faebound though! I'm just excited it's a slimmer volume with everything on this TBR.

[@Ashleigh_Absurd]

This turned into such a big tbr but it does look like such a fun time. I hope you enjoy them all

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

It really just kept going! Haha but they should be a good time.

[@polly2900]

Read Honey Girl gave it 4 ⭐

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

That's good to hear! Thanks for the hype!

[@tibbarasden]

I've only read Invictus by Ryan Graudin, but I really loved it. I hope your reads go well.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Oh interesting. I don't know anything about Invictus but if I like Wolf by Wolf I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the rec!

[@CulinaryCrime]

I am also doing a water on the cover book this month. My choice for this is Mile High.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Oh that's such a good pick! And it would totally work for this too! At least I think apartment buildings should count. Mile High is so fun, I hope you enjoy!
