Doesnt fit on SS

March mini-challenge looks interesting

Yes it does...will have to see what i can find

My current book would work for chameleon cover as it's blue. I doubt I'd finish before 15th but I could easily hold off finishing until then.

If anyone is looking a book set on/in the sea I read one for another challenge a few years ago, Tangled Tides, not the best book but it was quite a quick & easy read.

For the books set in the Americas, The Secret Path is set in Costa Rica, a good book if anyone is interested in chick lit

The last ever episode of Endeavour is on tonight so cant sort out , but tomorrow im going to sit and see when my books can fit..i suppose its to good to ask that all those animals come from states or UK 😄😄

Janeylou, I have read Dead Man and the Army of Frogs -- can it be used as a reverse???

I looked at the list and here's what I put together:
1. Alaska Hare -- colours brown/white/black from Alaska
2. Arctic Hare -- colors brown/grey/white from Canada
3. Chameleon -- colors pink/blue/orange/turquoise from Africa
4. Anoles -- colors green/brown from Americas
5. Tree frog -- colors green/grey/brown from Australia
6. Cephalopod -- patterned cover -- on the sea
7. Flower Spider -- colors yellow/white/green/brown/grey from Australia or New Zealand
8. Beetle -- colors gold/reddish brown from Americas
9. Chrysso Spider -- colors black/yellow from Europe, North America or Asia

This looks like a lot of fun to figure out. Maybe for the Cepalopod a book that takes place on a cruise?
I think we could use leaf on the cover for the beetle, or a blade on the cover for the Chrysso spider (blade-like hairs on their legs). The tree frog has spots, so maybe a MC with freckles? And for the cephalopod, what about tentacles? Anyone like reading those books?

Im ok with tentacles 😄😄

I could read Earth Husbands are Weird for that one!

Thanks for the help. I was a bit occupied with work these last days even if I'm still on sickleave. Will add the mini challenge to the ss tomorrow and than you can fill in your wishes.

We'll need to come up with some rationales too!!

Red enough cover? (for Red 9)



Green enough for Green 9 (Character Nazaire)

Id say red is not really red but green ok

Sheet for mini challenge added.

Ill take a look in a bit
Could we all use the same characteristic for an animal or do they all need to be different

I added some. I hope I did them right.

Ive added all the rest of my main claimed books onto the mini challenge SS..

They need to be different as far as I understood it. I will copy the description in a post on page 1.

It doesnt actually say in main mini challenge post ..just says
...The remaining three books must relate to a characteristic of the animal in some way

You'd best check before we get too carried away

I'm back among the living even though I might still feel a bit hungover lol.

Completely missed that before ...so no we cant use same characteristic for same animal

Could I use the Atlas Six for beetle - a beetle has six legs and six is in title

That sounds good Vikki

You must have had a great birthday celebration!

Yes we can.

Was thinking that since the Chrysso spider says: 'but the venter of Brazilian species is black' that we could read a book with a black MC. Does that make sense? I was thinking Dix??

Id say yes
