red?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't think that's 50% red. Are they allowed to do white Abbie?

[Abi]

Black and white books count, but they won't count towards bonus points.
You'll get the one point for the book, and one point for a buddy read, but you won't get 5 bonus points for reading 5 of that color.

White hot kiss has enough white on it to count. :)

[Rachael]

Oh that's good to know as well! Thank you!

[Rachmi]

What do you think of these covers?

and -> blue
-> green -> couldn't decide whether it's green or yellow but there's another edition -> is it yellow?

"This much is true" Looks more like a blueish grey with yellow, blue, and black bits. There's not enough of each colour, so that wouldn't count, sorry!

The first cover for The last kings of sark would count as green, but the other can count as yellow. :)

Under the never sky and Legenda Whbraneic will count as well. :)

[Rachmi]

@ Abbie: That's okay for "This Much is True" and thanks for the other. I'm trying to match books that are suitable for copy review challenge as well as rainbow challenge :D

[Jamie]

I'm in! This is perfect because I was just planning on reading the Percy Jackson series. <3

Great! :) I need to get around to reading that series!

Good idea! :)
The review copy clean up is a good motivator!

[Mira]

I'm in! :)

Do these qualify?

red blue orange yellow green or purple

Also what color is ?

[Rachmi]

Abbie, if I read one blue cover book for "Read a Rainbow" and then I also want to read book with blue cover for "5 Books with the Same Color" Should I read another 5 blue cover book or I can count it for both of them. Hope you understand what I mean :D

Can I count as blue, blue (or purple?), and as white?

[Rachael]

If I do 5 in one color and 5 in another color is that 10 bonus points?

[rachel, x]

Oh I'm in! I seem to have missed this. Oops!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Guys, I'm going to leave the colour-okaying to Abbie as she'll be about in a couple of hours.

Rachael - yes. you get 5 bonus points for each set of 5 for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. so if you do 5 yellows and 5 blues that would be 10 bonus points.

Rachel - Abbie will add you when she's next on ☺

My soul to take and violets are blue, darkhouse, diary of a wimpy kid are fine. :)

In 6 months, i'd say there's only about 35% of green there, so that wouldn't count, sorry!

Forever is a mixture between orange bits and brown bits, but it can count for white.

Shiver is a mixture of blue and grey, but it can count for white too.

Linger can count for green or white. :)
If you use it as white though, you won't get bonus points for reading 5 of those.

If you read 5 blue, one of those will count for read a rainbow.
So iff you wanted to read 5 of each rainbow color, you'll get the 5 bonus points for each colour, and 5 bonus points for each rainbow. (As well as the usual one point for the book + one point for buddy read)

Vital signs can count as blue, Lucid can count as purple.
There's not really enough white in forgotten yesterday to count though, sorry!

[Abi]

Everyone's added. :)

It's okay, Abbie and thank you for the other books. Now I can make a list for books I want to read for this challenge :D

[Mira]

@Abbie Thank you! That was helpful :)
I'm sorry but I actually have another question about this. You see, if there's a different edition of a book that has a certain color more prominent than the original edition in English, will I be able to use it?
Like I want to read and there are different editions that are orange but not in English.
&
And if it's okay to use them, then do they have enough orange for the challenge?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'll leave okaying the colours to Abbie, but you can definitely use different editions of a book if they have a different colour cover that you want. If the cover is on Goodreads you can use it ☺

You can use any cover on goodreads. :) You just need to use the cover you want when you submit the review in the review thread.

The second one is fine for orange. :)

[Mira]

Oh that's great! Thanks a lot guys! ^-^

[Johanna]

I'm in too!

[Abi]

Mira, for the two shiver books that only count as white, if you want to get bonus points you can use these:
- Blue
- Purple or - Red

I wasn't quite with it this morning so i forgot to check the other covers!

They look really nice together:

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Those are the ones i have. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The Works - 3 for £5 ☺

[Abi]

Love the works!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

so good! i think I had for £1.99, and (Hardcover) for £2.99 at the same time, with free delivery. bargain!

[Abi]

I got the first 9 books of morganville vampires for £15, was really good!
I blame the works for having on the 3 for £5 offer though. That's the only reason why i bought them.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I had UTNS for my birthday or christmas, then bought TTEN from the works for £1.99 cause they didn't have anything else that I wanted. TTEN was definitely the best of the three though.

[onceuponatimeareview]

What colored would this count for?

[Abi]

White. :)

[onceuponatimeareview]

Ok

[Connie]

if i read a bind up of different books, can i count the books individually or just the bind up?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

If they're published separately as well then yes you can count them as individual books. You'll have to take the colours from the individual books as well though ☺

[Connie]

Will I have to review them as individual books?

[Dana]

In

[rachel, x]

Does this cover count as green enough?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Connie wrote: "Will I have to review them as individual books?"
