It works for skip blue (which I used already for another wild draw 4) but I think that's it...

Can you maybe switch with the other book? Would that fit for one of our blue cover books?

Do you think this is green enough so I can count it for cover for the tree frog?
And would this be Blue enough? I would claim wild card 4 for blue 7 with it.
Id say no to both to be honest Green/ blue are main colors but not sure if 50 %

I like the green one. Think the blue might not be enough though. Just my opinion
Am happy to put my red card book wherever you want me to Helke.

I was thinking that for the Alaskan Hare, they are listed as the largest species. Do you think I could connect reading a dinosaur shifter book as they are the largest species of animals out there? Was thinking King & Queen. Or perhaps a dragon shifter book?
Or would this be OK for cover color of the tree frog (being green):
One other option for me would be to read Stealing the Wind which takes place on or in the water as a location for the cephalopod.Does anyone have a preference? Anyone else want to read for one of these?
(I need to pick another book)

I would prefer you read this first.

Thanks for the direction Helke. I will get it started!
Am still planning to read Cattle Stop as well. Could it be used for the final Wild Draw 4, for Green 9 (takes place in New York State)??

We look good. Only a few tasks left to fill in and nearly all promised books read. Really good. And that with one player missing.
Diane wrote: "Am still planning to read Cattle Stop as well. Could it be used for the final Wild Draw 4, for Green 9 (takes place in New York State)??"Yes please. I deleted Notorious as you all thought it wasn't blue enough. The setting counts for cards.
