My Bookish Life: December TBR Bookopoly #2

                   Hello everybody! I hope you all are having a good morning . I'm taking a break from house stuff today but I wanted to get my December TBR published. I think I will also take some time today to start figuring out my reading stats for the year and my top 10 books of the year so those will be post you all can look forward to seeing on this blog. So lets get started with this Bookopoly round!

             

        Ok so my game piece is still on the space where I stopped last time just so you know. My first roll is a 10. 
        That landed me on Chance. The chance cards are cards that have both good and bad reading prompts on them. The stack is about 50/50 so that's why it's called Chance. So lets see what kind I draw! 


    I drew a good one! Favorite Genre means I get to pick a book from one of my favorite genres . I know it's pretty self explanatory right? I think I have the perfect book for this and it is one that was gifted to me here recently! 

Bookopoly Pick #1 
        Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman  . My Aunt Wanda gave me this lovely edition of Good Omens here recently. It's very pretty looking ! I haven't read this book but I did watch the prime series and I liked that. Plus, I happen to love Neil Gaiman's writing and Fantasy is one of my favorite genres! 

   Roll #2

 

         My second roll was a nine ! That landed me on Readathon. How that space works is if I land on it I have to try to participate in a Readathon that month. I looked and I found out there is something called Hypeathon happening this month . That's simply a readathon where you read a book that has a lot pf hype around it. The book that comes to mind when I think of that might be stretching things a little bit but I think it still counts.






Bookopoly Pick #2: Filthy Rich : The Billionaire's Sex Scandal By James Patterson  . So this is the book I will be reading for Hypeathon . I know that's stretching things a bit because some of the reason for the hype is because it's about a current and on going news story but that's one reason why I really do want to get to it soon. 

Roll Number 3:



        This time I rolled a six. Also, just like in Monopoly when you roll doubles you have to roll again. After I see what this landed me on I will be taking a 4th roll. 

            

      So that six landed me on Young Adult and I have a good pick in mind for this one too.


        

Bookopoly Roll #3 : The Mortal Instruments series #1 : City of Bones by Cassandra Clare . This is a book I have read before so this would be a reread . However, I think I read books one and two of the series and then didn't finish the series and I have been curious about how it ended recently . I want to reread books one and two before I go any further in the series so that's why I'm picking this one!

Roll #4


Roll 4 was another double and it was an eight . That landed me on History . 
       When I made this board I was hoping my library would be staying open but they completely shutdown again here recently . Because of that I'm going to have to stretch my pick here a little bit and hopefully I will be able to find another way to do this in the future . 

  
           Bookopoly Pick #4 Guitar World Presents: Rock In Peace . How, I'm stretching things to make this fit is because I'm going to consider this book music history . I intended for that space to be used for just like history history but I don't have books about history I was going to use my library when I landed on that space. Since they shut back down I'm going to have to stretch it and go with music history for now and try to figure out another way to do things in the future. Also, since that was another double I have to roll again! 


            This roll was an eleven. So lets see where that lands me. 

       Ok I landed on Go To Jail. This Bookopoly round is about to get really interesting! 


     So how the In Jail space works is I have to read a punishment book. This is why I was asking you all to recommend me the worst books you have ever read. Since I still don't have any recommendations for this round I will just go with the lowest rated book on my Goodreads TBR. 

Bookopoly Roll #5
        The lowest rated book on my Goodreads that I could get ahold of soon is Tell-All by Chuck Palahniuk . It's the audio version so I can't get a picture of it . I borrowed it through the Libby app which may be my work around for when I land on spaces like history in the future . 

     So I think my December TBR is going to go like this:
1. Guitar World Presents : Rock In Peace ( I want a palate cleanser first since I just finished rereading The Dark Tower series)
2. Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
3. Filthy Rich: The Billionaires Sex Scandal by James Patterson
4. The Mortal Instruments #1 by Cassandra Clare
5. Tell-All by Chuck Palahniuk on audio

Blog update: 
     I have ordered a new phone . It takes way better pictures than the phone I have so look forward to seeing those soon. I'm excited I can't wait for that!

    That's it for this blog update! If you like my content please subscribe to my blog. If you have read any of these books please leave your thoughts in the comments. I hope you all have a nice day and I will talk to you all again soon!
