I realized that late last night after Kristel had asked me. I figured it was probably like that, but then I thought of Don Quixote, author Miguel de Cervantes, but in all my literature classes he was referred to as Cervantes. Checked my library this morning and saw that he is listed in the Cs.
I'm going to put Megan's books in to complete the mini-challenge. I won't be able to save my books for April because I need them for other challenges this month. But Cinthia, if you want you can save A Cold legacy for an April finish.

I was able to rearrange a few things and I don't need to finish
until Sunday, so I can take care of the Blue 8!

I didn't bring O mistério de Listerdale with me, so I won't be reading it after all.
Yeah. Move mine too. I wasn’t in the mood either. Just started it for April though!
I was able to cover the Red 3 with
! The paperback cover image came in at 49.8% red on Tineye, but then I checked the Kindle edition image, since that was what I read. It was over 50%!
Jessica wrote: "Completed: 
4/3"Tineye calls this one green. What does everyone think?
Just went and pulled my copy off the shelf to look and it is like a grayish green in person, very similar to the pic. I don’t think it would be a stretch to call it green

I eyeballed it and thought that Tineye would call it grey (even though it looks green to me). I should have checked. Nice catch Laura!!

I added
to the spreadsheet.
Looks like we've got all the color cards covered! But we will need 1 more additional one to cover a Wild Draw 4. And if anyone reads a book that takes the place of one of my planned ones, I won't cry. Those fairy rainbow books can be hard to get through.
