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 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.
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.

[@kaylanisimplyme]

She’s BACK!!!!!!

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Not gunna lie to you, you asking at SteamyLit had a big impact on me coming back. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@KLC228]

What a nice welcome back from LitLand😊

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Oh yes, very kind under the circumstances!

[@hollysreadingrambles5490]

LitLand is back… again😂🥳 Good luck with your tbr, Caitlin🥰

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Hahaha thank you! If nothing else I always cycle back to it because LitLand is very motivating.

[@sweet_t_reads]

Always love to see you and the game! Thank goodness it was nice to you this month!

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Thank you! I'm so relieved it didn't punt me back to another part of the board!

[@kaylanisimplyme]

The TBR was sooo kind to you this month!! Litland knew you needed to ease back in!! I hope you love everything and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Legends and Lattes! I need to read that soon as well!

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

It really was kind! Watch it wreck me next month though! I'm curious on Legends and Lattes but also weirdly nervous about it because of all the hype? We'll see!

[@meganclemons9604]

I hope you like Legends & Lattes. It was one of my favorites last year.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

I hope I like it too! I'm kind of nervous because of how loved it is though!

[@AmandasBooktopia]

So glad to see your game brought back! You sure had a short one this time lol. I’m sure you can definitely get these books done in no time.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Thank you! I'm grateful it's a short one this month. Hoping that gets me some good forward momentum!

[@tibbarasden]

I read You Made a Fool last month. It was really weird for me be ause I loved the writing and story, but didn't like the characters. I am definitely planning onnreading more from the author though. Have a great month. I am really glad you brought your game back.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Thank you! I've read some of Emezi's other work are really like their writing style, so I'm looking forward to that part the most. We'll see how it stacks up! Good luck with your reading month too!

[@cressidaclarence7420]

So nice to see you back in my feed! I haven't read Legends and Lattes yet, I'm so excited for it but I end up reaching for something else and I have no idea why. In October I would consider Bunny if you haven't read it yet, along with My Best Friends Exorcism.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Awww thank you! I totally get what you mean too about Legends & Lattes. I'm a little nervous about it because it's been so hyped I'm worried I'm not going to "get" it. But thanks for the recommendations, and for entering!

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

Pssst...I need to know an Insta or an X handle for you so I can reach out 🥳

[@lolapastarelli]

I'm very curious how you'll feel about L&L. I think it's waaaay over-hyped. Like, I think I read a different book than everyone else.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

I remember you were pretty meh about it! We'll see how I net out with it, but I don't have sky high expectations.
