BL-opoly, Pandemic Edition -- Rolls #15 & #16

Catching up on BL-opoly while BookLikes happens to be up and running -- not many more rolls to go, I think; even if the site doesn't crash again.

BL-opoly, Pandemic Edition -- Roll #14
The Blood of Flowers - Anita Amirrezvani,Shohreh Aghdashloo

I rolled again earlier today, but since the dice sent me to a square I've already visited (#20, "The Lake House"), and I'm trying to get to as many different prompts as possible, I decided to use one of my novelty cards to move straight on to the Silk Road and make good on my resolution to include more books by authors from ethnicities other than Caucasian in the second half of 2020.  So, off to 17th century Persia we go instead!

BL-opoly, Pandemic Edition -- Roll #13
Mord mit Meerblick - Ranka Nikolic,Mimi Fiedler

 

I already finished my last book the day before yesterday, but spent most of my spare time yesterday on my  mid-year reading update, so I've only rolled again today. 

 

As the BL-opoly prompts have helped me get out of my pandemic comfort reading, I'm going to continue using them -- through the end of July as originally scheduled, unless RL intervenes (or BL officially breaks down once and for all).

BL-opoly, Pandemic Edition -- Roll #12
Goodwood - Holly Throsby,Rebekah Robertson

 

I actually rolled last night already, but BL was so buggy that I gave up on trying to post.  And I'm glad it's a simple roll again for once.  So, off to Australia we go -- and I'm wondering whether it's a coincidence that this small-town mystery is called Goodwood, whereas one of my new favorite TV mystery series is set in New Zealand ... and is called Brokenwood.
