A good feel book and some history about the monopoly game.

(Not the tagged book, but another book by the same author). This was a riveting and moving account of the quest to bring Larry Nassar to justice. #audiobook

1 - 12 books! I am participating in the Owls.
2 - Monopoly (tagged book is good about the history of it!)
3 - Reading time!
4 - No. I forgot it was even April Fool's Day. lol

I've played various editions of Monopoly and Monopoly-type games all my life, so this sounded like an interesting book. I chose this book for the Read Harder challenge prompt for a business book, and I found the very storied history of the game absolutely fascinating. It was written by a journalist, so it actually fulfills two of the prompts. #BookRiotReadHarderChallenge2019: book by a journalist or about journalism, business book

I'm thoroughly enjoying this very interesting history of the game of Monopoly!

Today's poolside read. The title of this one caught my attention, having played hours of this game growing up and as a parent. We've had several versions of this game over the years, and I'm interested in reading about its history. 🌞🌊📚🌊🌞 #BookRiotReadHarderChallenge2019: a business book

Very good!

I said it should be a book, but it is being turned into a movie!

Maybe you can tell what our favorite game is? #letsplayagame #giveaway Thanks @MaleficentBookDragon ! What a fun idea!

A fascinating look at the not so simple history of the friendship-ending and tear-inducing game, Monopoly. This book was well-written and never dry. It taught me things about economics, Quakers, and trademark law...the three great tastes that taste great together. Glad to be a part of E. Shaver, Bookseller's nonfiction book club because this isn't a book I would've ordinarily picked up to read.

This was a really fascinating read, much more so than you might think a book about the history of a board game would be. I had no idea about the scandal over the creation of the game, though I'm certainly not surprised that a woman had her work taken over by a dude and got essentially no credit for it. A very detailed but quick read on a topic probably everyone has some connection to (I've got three Monopoly games myself!) 4/5 ⭐️

Hey, let's invent a time machine so we can go to this newspaper's office and slap them

My Beatles Monopoly was the only version I had easily accessible! 😁 #nowreading

The Monopolists and a Perrier after a long day at work - Monday night party over here. Also, apparently I'm on a reading-about-board-games kick as of late...
