25 tasks that have to do with colours. E.g. Colour used on the cover (read a book with a yellow title on the cover/mostly green cover), in the title (read a book with the word "blue" in the title), in the book (read a book wear a character is described as wearing a red dress/has blonde hair) etc.
Everyone may nominate 2 challenges from now until Sunday. Then I will open the nominations again until we have 25 tasks.
Please stick to these general rules:
- Tasks may not be set for graphic novels or books that are less than 150 pages long.
- Don't nominate tasks that are unfairly restrictive, e.g. forcing participants to acquire expensive or obscure books, or find books set in their home town (it's easy for some, impossible for others).
- Since this challenge is not genre-specific, don't limit your tasks to any one genre.
Enjoy!
