BL-opoly: Dice Roll #12, Parts a and b

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Stephen Fry, Douglas Adams Tombland - C.J. Sansom, Steven Crossley
Today is a roll day for me:  It started with doubles that sent me to another square I've visited before (and for a moment had me fearing I'm stuck in a loop, too):
 

 

I move to square 26: How? -- Read a book that is science fiction or a book with the word "how" in the title.

 

This is an excellent excuse to listen to the Stephen Fry audio of Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that I recently acquired.

My next roll -- since the first one were doubles -- also landed me on a question mark square, but this time one I haven't visited before:

 

 

square 34: When? -- Read a book that is time travel or historical fiction, or a book with the word "when" in the title.

 

I think the BL-opoly gods are telling me to finally get a move on and read C.J. Sansom's most recent Shardlake book, Tombland, which at this point has been sitting on my shelves for way too long.  So, Tombland it is!
