Tasmanian Devil - black cover

Soooo, the book I was reading before, I have been struggling to get through because I've been finding it boring, so I switched to a new book which I will get through faster.
I'm reading this book now which can cover for black cover I think
So it would work for either Tasmanian Devil or Sugar Glider

I am working on this book right now:
This is How You Lose the Time War
Not sure if this would work for one of the Blue cover books?
Also, the main characters names so far are Red and Blue, would this work possibly for one of the part 2 tasks?

Sorry, guys work has been really busy lately so I hadn't really been able to get through my books as quickly.

I'm not sure either look very green, both look kind of more teal blue to me.

For the April colour cards I will be reading
The Warrior
I think it would cover 7 (maybe) or 9
But either way it should cover one of the green cards for April

Unfortunately cover wise I don't think this matches for what we need. I mean it has multiple colours on it (Grey, brown, yellow) but not specifically enough of one colour :(

I had a lot of mixed feelings about this book. It fell in the 3-star range for me book wise. It ended up being an interesting read but there are aspects of the story that both frustrated me, and also seemed to lack consistency for the characters. Overall the story and the plot were interesting and the secondary characters were pretty good balance to the main character as well. It ended up being a fairly quick read for me and I finished in about 4 hours.

If you end up reading it, you'll have to let me know what you think of it.

If I recall correctly there are tigers. I'll just go ahead and read it and if no full tigers show up, i'll pause reading and just finish it for march

I don't know if this would be accepted but I was looking at re-reading this book . I know one of the characters is Half man half tiger - basically there is a virus that turns humans into feral animals, and the infected people become half before they fully change
Would this work for #25? If I recall correctly there are tigers in the story as well, as the mix of half tiger half human. If that is good I'll re-read it
