Read a book with "Red" or any shade of red in the cover.
Just completed another #14 (color in title) - Yellow Brick War by Danielle Paige. Still enjoyable, fantasy read. However, there were holes in her story and a few times where it seemed like she was writing so quickly that she left out bits that she meant to include. It just ruins the flow of the story. Still worth reading. 3.5 stars8/15 Round 2

Update to post 211:15. Read a book with a word describing colors in the title. - The Pale Blue Eye by Louis Bayard
15/15 - COMPLETED!!
Just completed my 2nd #8 (dark blue) - The Midnight Watch: A Novel of the Titanic and the Californian by David Dyer. I'm disappointed in this book. One would think that a book starting with the sinking of the Titanic would not be boring, but this author managed to do that. It got a lot more interesting in the middle, then it all slowed way down again. And it ended in a very dissatisfying manner. Not worth it. 2.5 stars9/15 Round 2

I don't usually read a lot of non-fiction, but this one kind of blew me away. :D
I was also impressed with the Matched series & Cinder, and I had a real soft spot for Someday, Someday, Maybe. :D

Just completed my 2nd #11 (black) - The Wish Granter by C.J. Redwine. Really entertaining read! I love Redwine's reimagined fairytales! And I especially love her female heroes - no simpering, sleepy damsels in this book! My only complaint was the book was a touch slow and confusing at the start. Definitely worth reading! 4 stars10/15 Round 2
