Colorful Reading Challenge

Oh boy! Two years ago I took part in The Colorful Reading Challenge and it's back! Here's what it's all about...

The Colorful Reading Challenge is simple:

1. Just choose 9 books with colors in the titles.

2. The books can overlap with other reading challenges (because let's face it, we need them to.)

3. Post your links to your reviews each month to share with other participants.

4. The challenge runs from January 1, 2013 to December 1, 2013.

5. Read to your heart's content!

When most people think of colors they think of the basics- red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple, white, black, and brown. But don't forget, as Crayola taught us, colors have a wide array of tints and shades so don't forget you can include colors such as silver, gold, plum, pink, crimson, scarlet, turquoise, blonde, gray, pumpkin, the list goes on.

These are the books that are on my shelf waiting to be read and have a color in the title:

The Black Lights: Inside the World of Professional Boxing by Thomas Hauser

Black Swan Green: A Novel by David Mitchell
