I'm so confused by this months mini challenge, I guess it will work out in the end though.

I think we will get the hang of it.
Happy birthday.

Either of these work for patterned?

- stripy pattern

Id say both

Have added some characteristics for the animals and added to Diane´s findings.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Some thoughts for possible creative connections:
chameleons: species going back to cretaceous, so we could use dinosaurs
f.e. Smash & Grab

anoles: clinging pats, could use climbing MC
claws shifters with claws

tree frog: small, MC who is a twink

cephalopod: big brains, geeky MC or brainiak
can squit water with so much pressure that they can
fly up to 50 m, MC who is a firefighter using a big
hose ;) or a pilot for short flights

flower spider: venomous to their prey, abusive relationship

beetle: foliage eater, MC is vegetarian
can change colour, MC changes hair colour at least once
during book

chrysso spider: blade like hair on stomach, MC fights with a sword
or with knifes

Don't forget they have to be characteristics mentioned in the write up, we can't add any more. I like the blade one! Maybe a mystery where someone is poisoned?

Great. I'll switch it to reverse than.

We can use 4 books from uno pixie. I thought we could use them for the missing colour cards.

How does that work? And does that mean we only have a couple of reverses left in the regular cards?

Diane wrote: "How does that work? And does that mean we only have a couple of reverses left in the regular cards?"

The book wasn´t lodged for a card so it was simply putting it at the right place. Else I would have switched one book that sat on a reverse card but would also fit a card we still needed a book for to that card and add the second book.

Added 2 Uno Pixie books for the red and the green 6 card. That is all colour cards taken care off.
Please don´t forget to tell if you can´t finish all your promised books in time or find that you don´t want to read a book you put into the ss for a card. We have several overflow books we can use for that purpose.

If one of us finds a red/ green card , can we give pixie cards back
I was waiting till finished all mine to see what left

Janeylou wrote: "If one of us finds a red/ green card , can we give pixie cards back

We could but why? We can use them as we are one player short. So why not use them? Better to concentrate on the missing tasks for the mini challenge as the cards are nearly fully booked and we have about 10 books in reserve for any holes.

Ive finished another 3 of mine, will try and post later

I think they would fit both. Did you chose one of them?

Sorry Ashley, I had to take one promised book of yours out of the mini challenge. If it has a patterned cover please let me know.

Ashley, you can´t use Crown of bones for blue 1 as a wild card 4 as we don´t have a blue 1 this month. Does it by chance fit for one of the blue cards we have this month?
