Color Coded Reading Challenge 2021

 


Once again the categories will be more open--the color may either be named in the title or it may appear as the dominant color for the cover of the book. For "implies color" the image implying color should dominate the cover--for instance a large rainbow, a field of flowers, or the image of a painter. Get ready for a rainbow of reading in 2021. 

General Rules:
~Challenge runs from January 1 through December 31, 2021 and any book read after January 1 may count regardless of when you sign up. You may sign-up any time.

~Read nine books in the following categories:
1. A book with "Blue" or any shade of Blue in the title/on the cover.
2. A book with "Red" or any shade of Red in the title/on the cover.
3. A book with "Yellow" or any shade of Yellow in the title/on the cover.
4. A book with "Green" or any shade of Green in the title/on the cover.
5. A book with "Brown" or any shade of Brown in the title/on the cover.
6. A book with "Black" or any shade of Black in the title/on the cover.
7. A book with "White" or any shade of White in the title/on the cover.
8. A book with any other color in the title/on the cover (Purple, Orange, Silver, Pink, etc).
9. A book with a word/image that implies color in the title/on the cover (Rainbow, Polka-dot, Plaid, Shadow, Paint, Ink, etc).

~Crossovers with other challenges are fine.

~To Sign Up (now that my linky provider has limited the number of "parties" I can host): If you have a blog, please post about the challenge on your site and post a link to your sign-up in the comments below. You may also post a link to a Goodreads or Library Thing list, etc. If you do not have a blog and cannot comment below, then please send me an email at phryne1969 AT gmail DOT com and I will add you myself.

~At the beginning of the new year, I will put up posts for review links for each color category and the sidebar image will be updated to the new challenge links.

Hi Bev,
Please sign me up. I've just created a GoodReads account. You can find me at:
https://www.goodreads.com/buriedforpleasure.
Is it OK if I start early (like, now)? I would then finish on this date in 2021.
Cheers,
Ken/BforP

I'm joining up again but my ISBN reading has been horrible so I'm hoping I can get a couple of colors this year. I've posted at http://www.bookdragonslair.com/2021/01/2021-rc-color-coded.html

(It's been so long I've got to relearn stuff!)

Looking forward to taking part on my Instagram account(@weejenreads). I haven't been able to read much, after falling ill last spring. Now that I'm recovering well, I am looking forward to getting my reading mojo back.
