I hope this helps:
For information on the "Read a book with MPG Crime, Mystery, Thriller or Suspense that also meets the criteria..." tasks, see the NBRC challenges Murder & Mayhem Part 1 & Part 2.

For those challenges, the books have to have the MPG Mystery or crime, etc. and meet the criteria according to what's explained in the Murder & Mayhem challenge.

For example, for Read a book with MPG Crime, Mystery, Thriller or Suspense that also meets the criteria for "FBI/CIA/ATF" you should read book with the MPG indicated and with a MC who works at FBI, CIA or ATF

Don't worry, I used it for parrot.

We get 7 or 5 points the first time we find an animal. For example, for the first cat we get 5 points, and for the next cat we only get 1 point.
I'll try to use a different animal each time, so try to list as many animals as you can.
Also, we can make collections of 7 animals. For each collection, we get 10 extra points, and if they're tricky animals, we get 20 points for collection. The collection must be of easy animals only OR tricky animals only.
