I'd be thinking about families with step or half siblings. Alternatively 2 families that grew up living on the same road and spend all their time together.

May be it is like that show "Modern Fami..."


Haha... Maybe, but I think I found something..
Notes on an Execution has Ansel Packer, his wife Jenny, his sister in law Hazel, sister in law's husband and their kids, brother, brother's wife & kid, and also his mom and dad... So all 3 generations in one book. It should fit...

No rest for the wicked doesn't work for the direction you are wanting to travel. Please can you find a replacement.

message 877: by Ashley (new)

Ashley Basile (smashreads) | 1566 comments So, I know this prompt shouldn't be hard... but I've been looking a covers all morning and I don't know if I'm being too specific or what... anyone know of a book that might work:

Read a book that has a predominately green and silver cover.

The first thing that came to mind for me is: Emerald Green. It fits perfectly, but is third in a series.

Emerald Green (Precious Stone Trilogy, #3) by Kerstin Gier

That's SUCH a pretty cover.

I think it's is silver and green. Not sure if it matters which color there is more of. Looks to me like it probably fits, but maybe Sophie could give an official ruling?

Eldarwen | 13647 comments Mod
I would say that definitely fits. And it's a decent dystopian trilogy that doesn't mess up the end for a change ;-)

message 887: by Kristie (last edited Nov 03, 2022 08:49AM) (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments I found a list of books with green covers. Maybe you can find one that works.

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...

Also, I found this. I think it works, but it's second in a series again. I don't know if you've read the first or if it's available to you:

Throne of Jade (Temeraire, #2) by Naomi Novik Throne of Jade

So of course, it's an M, right on the cusp. That keeps happening to me too!

I'm always audibly annoyed when it happens!!


message 890: by Ashley (new)

Ashley Basile (smashreads) | 1566 comments I'm beginning to think I might make a strategic wrong turn. Maybe I'll go North and then go south.... Every green and silver book I can find and have access to is an A-M book!


message 891: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments Hmm, that's an interesting plan. Then it's one book to correct, so two books total, rather than 4 for a skip/help....

You're an evil genius! :D
