Also, The One by John Marrs is my go-to recommendation for people because it reads fast and it's got everything--romance, thriller, sci-fi. The book is about people being matched up based on their DNA and you follow different characters and their journey to find their soulmates. Lots of interesting relationship dynamics. For example, one character is a serial killer who gets matched up.

I add a task for my book The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches change color of hair in case you think that will be a harder task to find.

both sound interesting, maybe one of them fits the mini!
I mean I'll continue with Percy Jackson for now. It might fit something
Daniela wrote: "I mean I'll continue with Percy Jackson for now. It might fit something"I think you’re reading this one
? If so, it can go for blue cover for Chameleon. I haven’t read it, so don’t know for any links for tasks.

It's been a while since I read those books but I think they have things that will fit for the mini. Both will definitely fit for a color cover. Akata Witch is a white cover and The One is blue. Akata Witch is also set in Africa.

Since we need a lot of card 7 this month, thought I should mention that I have a big "Letters V" shelf where I have tagged books that have authors, titles, and characters with the letter "V". It comes in super handy for reading challenges. If we're struggling to find books for that, feel free to check it out.Letters V shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
Thanks for the tip.We did have a lot. It’s come down to just one more 7 now :)

I added four colored books to our spreadsheet with where I know they would work for a colored card. They’re maybe other cards they fit and I will try to scan to see if they fit any other colored cards tonight. You can use them wherever you like or as a non colored card as I am reading them regardless.
Does this cover look yellow enough? I double-checked it with TinEye and it marked it as brown. I was going to read this for April.
Great, that can work for Yellow 4 or 6, and I can also do blue for either 1 or 6.
I'm doing a readathon next month for which I need a book with a map, and one with a metal in the title, and I'd prefer both of them to be rather short /quick to get through and if possible not fantasy. Does anybody have any recs?
If this works for green, I will take green 7
