Im currently reading my yellow book, "Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore". Im still confused and don't know if it fits anything else. 😔
Hi Nicole :)It fits something I'm sure of it. Right now for Yellow cards we need a 0 Yellow and a 9 Yellow. This is how it would fit either of them:
0
0 or Zero title
Z title
Z author
Z character
Z place
Stand alone
9
9 or Nine title
N title
N author
N character
N place
9 in series
Does it fit either of them? I tried to look through the Goodreads page and wasn't entirely sure. It looks like there is a character with a name that begins with N but I'm not entirely sure. If so, we can use that for the Yellow 9
updated@ Sandy - You did it right! :)

Updating the spreadsheet.I don't think we can use Nicknames Annalisa so I won't be able to use your book for an 8 but that's no big deal :)
I just checked and nicknames do work. Just for future reference. It doesn't matter in this case since the book fits multiple cards.
Thanks for checking! I thought I saw earlier someone said no it didn't work but if it does that's great :)

Again, I'll add book link when I'm on my computer next. I'm not sure why that don't have that ability in the app but they don't.
updated to here.Awesome job team!
@Annalisa - I'm reading that book now. I'm only a few chapters in but I am really enjoying it so far.
How did you like the book Annalisa? Was the audio version ok?
I loved The Bear and the Nightingale. The fairytales elements of the story really added something nice I didn't expect. It is part of a series but it didn't have a cliff hanger. I would have been content with it as a stand alone. Of Mice and Men was good as an audiobook. I wasn't completely invested in the characters though, so the ending wasn't as devastating as I think it would have been if I'd felt more connection to either of the characters. The audio was well done, though.
Great going, everyone!I second The Bear and the Nightingale recommendation, I hope you enjoy it, Melissa!
