I think I'm with Hillary on this one. I see "Blood" like I see the word "Brick." When coupled with the word 'Red' it describes a shade..."

Question, I read

and .

I want to be fair, so before I figure out what books I'm using for the challenge, I wanted to know if they would be non-YA.

The main character is in college, which would be NA. But everything else about the plot and the content screams YA. (I would shelve as YA, lol.) I'm pretty sure NA counts as 'non-YA' selections, so I wanted the judge on this one, Grem. :)

BWAAHAHAHA! Clearly not a foolproof statement :P

We'll just use a different adjective to make that better. Luscious shade of brown? Deep shade of brown? Points for creativity! :D

GREAT JOB, Barb! Congratulations on completion! (And yes, I really enjoyed "Also Known As" - a great popcorn read).

[Kelly]

I decided to read that one too since I wasn't enjoying my original green pick. I completely agree with that description. It was cute and went pretty quickly. So #5 is

Melanie #9 update
Book#5 down - GREEN

[Diane]

Finished #2 - Orange Updated post 31

[Diane]

I am having a hard time deciding if this counts as yellow or if it is brown. What is your verdict? It is like a golden color to me so I am hoping I can use it as yellow.

[Hillary]

I have a hardcover copy, to me I would say its a goldish tan. Close enough for government work for yellow imo. But up to Grem.

[Diane]

After looking at color images I would say it is definitely a tint of yellow ocher so I will use it unless otherwise disputed by Grem.

Man! I've attempted to do my homework on this one and am coming up with bubkis! These books aren't listed at the Chicago Public Library system (and I normally use their shelving as my method for determining these things). Plus, I can't seem to get a listing at other general sources that I use.

So I think I'll have to fall back on my most base understanding of YA vs NA. New Adult technically falls into the "adult" realm, where as Young Adult would be found in the world of juvenile fiction.

You can still use them! But they definitely would fall into the non-YA category.

[Amy]

Update post #10

- Orange

- Bonus Pink (Adult)

Updated post 21

[Gabriela]

I've finished two more books: for Blue and
for Purple (non-YA). And updated post #6.

Small question, would either or work for Yellow? I have another safe option just in case, but I'd rather read one of these.

[Casey]

Finished my 5th (out of 7) this one is for green and is a middle grade
