Meet Cute by Helena Hunting - 3 Yellow

Either of the blue 6 works. Read whichever you want:)

Jeanette Madsen (bugge) | 81 comments Don’t worry. I will finish my 2 last books in time ;-)

I have found Freefall as 4-red, and Wolfsbane as 9-green if it’s ok to use the title of the series.

Does En shopaholics hemmelige drømmeverden have enough green on it?

Anne (dagdvm) | 441 comments I can do 7 yellow with Afterlife by Julia Alvarez

It hasn't arrived yet but is supposed to get here around the 7th. The main character's LN is Vega. How very convenient for us! 😆


message 608: by Anne (new)

Anne (dagdvm) | 441 comments I can do The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

for either 8 green or 3 green, whichever works best.

Added "Freefall". We can't use the series name, so no for "Wolfsbane". And it doesn't appear that "En shopaholics hemmelige drømmeverden" has enough green in it, sorry.

Lauri (otwlauri) | 935 comments Kristel, so sorry to nag, but I just wanted to remind you about my green color card in hand 10. Please see msg #533.

I'm almost finished with all my books for the March mini -- no worries! I'm kinda restless & keep jumping from book to book. I'm liking them all, possibly with The Merlot Murders being my least favorite....

Hope everyone is staying safe & keeping healthy!

"Coming Home" was considered too orange.

Kristel | 586 comments Okay, I had a bit of time to look at the story and these are the options I came up with (bolded are the section that I changed):

1. Added "Fallen too Far"
She had the BODY of a REPTILE - slow and cold - but the mind of a crafty FOX. She was a PERFECT STRANGER to me butwe were FALLEN TOO FAR and TOGETHER WE CAUGHT FIRE.
On our WEDDING day we received our sacred, matching tattoos and then blasted off to the planet LOTHAIRE for our honeymoon.
ON EARTH WE were BRIEFLY GORGEOUS, but on Lothaire we were FINDING PERFECT. THE MEAT HUNTERS brought us gifts of BONES as we floated down the SUGARy, COCOA-flavored river while THE THIRD ANGEL sang to us. (The first and second angels were tone deaf.)


2. Added "The Bride Test"
She had the BODY of a REPTILE - slow and cold - but the mind of a crafty FOX. She was a PERFECT STRANGER to me but TOGETHER WE CAUGHT FIRE.
On our WEDDING day, after the ceremonial BRIDE TEST, we received our sacred, matching tattoos and then blasted off to the planet LOTHAIRE for our honeymoon.
ON EARTH WE were BRIEFLY GORGEOUS, but on Lothaire we were FINDING PERFECT. THE MEAT HUNTERS brought us gifts of BONES as we floated down the SUGARy, COCOA-flavored river while THE THIRD ANGEL sang to us. (The first and second angels were tone deaf.)


What do you think?

I'm still waiting for what mods say about using "De fire store". I'm pretty sure that another language version should still work, but just to be certain let's wait what the mods say.

LaurLa | 1005 comments I think yellow is the hardest color to find... so many LOOK yellow until you look too closely or get to tineye... :-(
