Challenge Complete: Color Coded

My challenge for myself and other readers each year in the Color Coded Challenge  is to read nine with various color connections. After several years of the challenge, I wasn't sure that I would be able to do another round (especially "brown" and "white"--those are my two most difficult ones, primarily because I prefer the colors to be in the titles rather than just the color of the cover). But--I managed it again! 

Here's my list of books read:

1. A book with "Blue" or any shade of Blue (Turquoise, Aquamarine, Navy, etc) in the title/on the cover.

2. A book with "Red" or any shade of Red (Scarlet, Crimson, Burgandy, etc) in the title/on the cover.
