Color Coded Challenge 2016

The Color Coded Challenge seems to be as popular as ever, so we're going to give it another go. When I first posted the new round, I didn't think I would have books on my TBR pile to meet my own challenge in 2016--and since I'm going to try to read primarily from my own stacks, that meant I wouldn't be participating. But--after a thorough check--I've got it covered! So, I'm gearing up for a rainbow of reading in 2016.

Here are the basic rules (for the full run-down and to join click on the link above):
