Bekka (froydis) | 492 comments BEKKA - 5.5 - Green: It's Not Easy Being Green

For this task, I read “ The Fortune Hunter by Daisy Goodwin ” by Daisy Goodwin since it has three words in the title and the first letters of each word can be found in Kermit The Frog.

Also, Daisy Goodwin is a Goodreads Author, so I’m claiming a ticket for that.
