Suzanne | 2453 comments I'm in a fantasy mood and am starting with The Black Coast (The God-King Chronicles, #1) by Mike Brooks with my eyes and Castle of Wizardry (The Belgariad #4) by David Eddings on audio. I'm not sure if Castle is yellow enough, but if it is, we can use it if we still need a yellow spot. Feels like it would cover every letter, but we'll see!

I read the Black Coast a couple years ago and loved it. I’m looking forward to seeing what you think. Also reminds me the second books is out now and I might have to pick that up.

Heather Moore | 405 comments Day one, book one, and I already have to pivot. The hunting party cover has changed, so it won't work for yellow 4. Going to switch to Meet Cute by Helena Hunting CLN Flowers

Suzanne | 2453 comments Questions to decide on some colors: I'd love opinions on if:
Don’t Tell Teacher by Suzy K. Quinn looks like a 50% or more blue cover and if
Castle of Wizardry (The Belgariad, #4) by David Eddings looks like a 50% or more yellow cover. If so, we can use them for some of our color cards.

I think Don't Tell the Teacher is a maybe, I think Castle of Wizardry is definitely more than 50% yellow.
