Does anyone have suggestions for a book that fit for Gator, Sewer Jack in team Wild Card..."
I was looking at Carrying Albert Home: The Somewhat True Story of A Man, His Wife, and Her Alligator.
I have read Albert … some years ago and as I recall it, it is a rather lighthearted entertaining roadtrip with a side of seriousness in the vein of The 100-year old … by Jonas Jonasson (but not as colourful :) )

I'm putting it in my list, thanks a lot.
I'm curious what everyone is reading / planning to read for John Marcone? Especially Vanilla Mortal is a bit difficult to research and the books I can think of I have already read (The Cruel Prince for example).John Marcone
1. Mob Boss- Read a book where organized crime is important to the story, with a gangster as a major character, or with a gangster on the cover.
2. No Kids!- Read a book where protecting kids is important to the story, with someone who saves/protects kids as a major character, or with children on the cover.
3. Vanilla Mortal- Read a book where someone without powers does well in a world with powered characters, where a non-powered person beats someone with powers, or with a non-powered character on the cover.
I had a question about the book I'm about to finish before I officially submit it for a point. I've been really into translated korean webnovels lately but sometimes the listings for them on goodreads are a bit weird. I guess because of how they are essentially self published and often ongoing, adding them to goodreads is tricky? So my 2 part question is 1) do webnovels count? I would only submit ones that have a listing I can find on goodreads and 2) if the answer to q1 is yes, and if the only listing I can find on goodreads is for the comic adaptation of the novel but I read the og novel is that ok?
Here's the book Im talking about btw, it looks like the gr listing is for the webcomic but I am reading the novel. Auto Hunting
Mod
I'm planning to use "a non-powered person on the cover" for #3. This could be anyone "normal" and plan to use a mystery or romance with someone on the cover for this. :)
Mod
For #1 Mob Boss, I might go with Assistant to the Villain, Melanie says it fits and it's on my tbr.
It's a fit for vanilla mortal not mob boss.
Mod
got it!
Thanks for the suggestions! And pointing out the very obvious that I hadnt thought of: it can be any normal character on the cover :D
Shawnie: If you want a mob boss suggestion, check out The Rookie. It's a mash up of sports fiction (American footbal) and space opera. All the league owners are gangsters.
Mod
Sounds really fun, thanks!
