Color Coded Challenge - Complete!

This is the second year that I have participated in this challenge. I really enjoy trying to find titles with colors in them. Blue and green seem to be popular choices, but there are other colors that are rather more difficult. I may have stretched a bit on some of these . . . like using "iron" as a shade of black. Close enough, right?

Here are the books I read for this challenge:
Blue - The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery
Green - Before Green Gables by Budge Wilson
Yellow - Travels in the Greater Yellowstone by Jack Turner
Red - Big Cherry Holler by Adriana Trigiani
Brown - Bitter Chocolate by Carol Off
Black - Riding the Iron Rooster by Paul Theroux
White - The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge
Any other color - The Orchid House by Lucinda Riley
Any implied color - The Color of Rain by Michael & Gina Spehn
I'm sure I'll be back next year for more colorful fun!

I love how you got creative with finding titles - cherry, chocolate etc. Congratulations on another challenge completed! Also, you're so close to meeting your book count for the year. It sounds like 2014 has been a good reading year for you, Julie!

Thanks, Jade. I have to be creative with the color titles, or I'd never find enough books to work! ;) And it's been driving me crazy all week to be so close to my Goodreads goal but not quite complete. Thankfully, I finally finished my book and got to mark it as read. Big sigh of relief!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
