The third book in the series The Cruelest Month works for card 1 sport, nay set during April, if you have that task. I'm planning on using it there!

Yes, I've got that task too, so that's book 3 taken care of! Now for book 4, task for Card 16 Ent Nay is 'The book is in any series with 12 or more primary works' .... that fits if you have it?!

I wonder how many more of this series we could keep matching to tasks! An extra challenge within the challenge!

Yes, I do! I love the idea of a challenge within a challenge.
For book #5 it could fit card 14 - Geography: Nay - The cover has a large tree on it (but I think we might have to get a ruling from Janice first). And # 6 could fit card 8 Sport: Nay - The book is originally published in 2010.

YEEESSS - let's do this :)
I don't have the tree on cover task, but here's what I could do instead:
#4 - pub. in 2008 ( Card 16, Sport Yay)
#5 - book in series of 12 or more (Card 16 Ent Nay)
#6 - pub. in 2010 (Card 8 Sport Nay)

I need to figure out #7, but for you TREE on cover would work (assuming you did the above tasks for 4, 5, 6)


update: got one I could use for #7:
Card 17 Geo Yay - set in Canada/Canadian author

ok, we're up to #8 now? this is fuuuunnnnn..... we'd be halfway through the series if we read to #8 by September 2020 when #16 is planned for release...
