Yeah I try to do it in order just for my own sense of accomplishment but some of the prompts I feel like will take me forever to get another book to fill those lol so I gave up this time! I know you said we can treat it like the Safari so I just did this time lol.

I usually just go with whatever I'm already reading and try to fill in prompts with that. I am specifically trying to finish the rest of the first generation this year, though, since this challenge has been going on for a while, I feel like I should have caught more than I have lol.
