Amber (amberm867) I've decided to make my personal challenge be to read one set of color covers and one set of color titles. On that change, I finished Pretending to Be Erica by Michelle Painchaud for yellow cover.

(I know I'm still missing an orange book, but I'm working on it - I just finished this one first.)

message 221: by Anna (last edited Sep 06, 2016 07:00AM) (new)

Anna | 231 comments I finished Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith for green. This was the most annoyingly repetitive book ever! It might not have been so bad if I was actually reading it and could have skimmed but I was listening to it and there isn't a really good way to skim while listening.

I also finished The Raven King (The Raven Cycle, #4) by Maggie Stiefvater as a bonus book for white. I haven't completed the rainbow yet but this was due back to the library and I couldn't wait to read it any longer!

Gremlin | 966 comments *Whew!* I've been out of the loop, friends, and I apologize for that. It's been quite the last two months but I'm trying to plug back in.

Ya'll should be updated at long last (thanks for your patience - I'm sure some of you were beginning to wonder!).

Super congratulations to those brilliant readers who just trounced right on over and through the rainbow!!! There were so many of you! So shout out to Amy, Amber, Casey, Christie, and Kdbrand!!!

message 238: by Diane (new)

Diane | 1234 comments I just finished my first Rainbow Rowell book the other day. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell I LOVED IT!!!!!!!! Wow it was very moving and just perfect until the last page. In my opinion it was not finished! 5 stars for me anyway :) I am grateful for this challenge because it encouraged me to read this book.


message 239: by Casey (new)

Casey Anderson | 637 comments Is it sad that I'm already anxiously awaiting the next challenge?
Thought I am bummed I coudln't get myself to read a Rainbow Rowell book for this one. One day.

I read Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell in about a day and a half. It was awesome! You could squeeze it in before the end.


laurel [the suspected bibliophile] (laurelthereader) Read my orange: Spindle (A Thousand Nights, #2) by E.K. Johnston for 6/6 of the color reading challenge.

I think this is more or less 50% orange . . . in differing colors of orange. If not, then I'm probably not going to finish this challenge with an orange book. School is drowning me. At least my pleasure reading counts (for the most part) as schoolwork. Go librarian school!


message 242: by Diane (new)

Diane | 1234 comments I would call the 50% orange :) Now back to school work...

Finished my 4th bonus color. I had some difficulty with the color of this book, so I dug out my colored pencils and Harvest Gold seemed to fit the closest.

message 245: by Amber (new)
