I don't have any idea about Wolf v. Virginia so I can't suggest any other themes.
Hey everyone! Checking in. I’m not familiar with this month’s theme either so I’m going to have a look and see possible additional theme ideas as well!Wiki entry:

Just reading the wiki for some theme ideas...Oh! I see it's a Snow White spin-off - "This kingdom is under the rule of Prince Wendell, the spoiled, arrogant grandson of Snow White."
There's the Evil Queen, his wicked stepmother, who turns him into a Golden Retriever 😃. Hew stumbles through a Magic Mirror portal into New York City.
Ten/10th Kingdom, or Nine/9 Kingdoms?
Virginia & Tony Lewis.
All sorts of different fairytale references & Retellings.
Sounds like it would have been fun.

Certainly being a Goldie would have done Wendell the world of good. Can't be spoiled & arrogant if you're a love dog.

Challenge Rules:
*No poetry or cookbooks allowed.
*Follow your own time zone. If you finish the book between the challenge dates in your time zone, it counts.
*You must be able to justify how your book fits the theme. Example: If the theme is cats, then your book can have a cat on the cover, a cat in the book, can be all about cats, etc. If you can justify it, then it will work. Let's keep this easy and you may be creative with your links to the themes.
