Color Coded Challenge - Complete!

This is the first reading challenge I have officially completed - ever! I only discovered the world of reading challenges when I started this blog back in June, but I became completely hooked very quickly. The Color Coded Challenge, hosted by Bev at My Reader's Block, was one that I thought would be difficult. Little did I know how many colorful titles there were out there! Here's the list of what I read for this challenge:
Blue - The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers
Red - The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Yellow - Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein
Green - The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens
Brown - Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel
Black - The Masque of the Black Tulip by Lauren Willig
White - A Corner of White by Jaclyn Moriarty
Any other color - The Lavender Garden by Lucinda Riley
A word that implies color - The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards by Kristopher Jansma
Most of them are linked to my reviews. I really enjoyed discovering new authors and new books because of this challenge. I'm looking forward to participating again next year!

this sounds like it was a fun challenge! sorry I didn't know about it sooner! I am beginning to plan which challenges i will be taking part in for 2014 and I am sticking to them. NOTHING new! I must stay on task to complete my 5 year goal of 100 classics, the 100 must reads, and two Christian challenges I will be taking part in again. Thanks for sharing this colorful challenge!

    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.
