COLOR IN THE TITLE - 2015

[Stephanie]

This is a fun category, covering all genres. As long as there is a color in the title, anything goes! There are several lists on Goodreads about colorful titles if you are having trouble finding books.

Read up to 5 books that have a color in the title.

"A Dead Red Cadillac" by R.P. Dahlke. This was a free Kindle title when I got it - surprisingly good story about a fashion model turned crop duster who becomes an amateur sleuth when her vintage Caddy is found in a lake with a corpse behind the wheel. Fun read.

Just finished:

Red Rising by Pierce Brown

Color in both the title AND the author's name!

[Rebecca]

Oh! I got one!
Death and the Redheaded Woman

[Sam]

A colour double whammy take down achieved with The Red Hand and The White People...shame they aren't two separate books!

[Rebecca]

Aw, I could have put the Black Arrow here. Guess I still can. I'll go delete if from the foreign setting thread. I read plenty of books set outside the US.

Ok, Rebecca, I have the Black Arrow for you under "Color in the Title". Correct?

[Rebecca]

Correct, O wondrous leader!

Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry

[Michael]

I already posted a book about Japan as one of my other country books so I will post this one here. Finished Feb. 19.

by Will Ferguson

This is a very humorous travel memoir. I really enjoyed this book.

[Stephanie]

Just finished this thriller:

Blacklands by Belinda Bauer

[Connie]

My first one in this category is Green Grass, Running Water by Thomas King.

[Rebecca]

Missed one: add The Green Mill Murder

You had this one added under the monthly special "It's not easy being green". Do you want to move it here or keep it there?

[Rebecca]

Ah! No, leave it green. I can't keep track!

That's why I use my nerdy spreadsheet, I can't keep track either!

[Sam]

And my second for this is Lenore: Pink Bellies

[Melki]

I'm assuming I can count The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake for this challenge. Lemon is both a flavor AND a color, right?

You got it, Melki!

[Sam]

And my next and final three are:

Black Butler, Vol. 03
Black Butler, Vol. 4
Black Butler, Vol. 05

(Can you tell I just sat in the library reading one volume after another...)

Binge reading at the library... one of my favorite things to do!

My second in this category is The Golden Spruce: A True Story of Myth, Madness and Greed by John Vaillant. This is non fiction. An interesting story but I didn't like the way it was written. I thought there was a lot of digression from the main idea.

[Stephanie]

Finished a few days ago:

Written in Red by Anne Bishop

[Rebecca]

Just finished Frankie Dupont And The Lemon Festival Fiasco. Though the lemons are literal, not the color. But real lemons are lemon-colored.

[Connie]

#3 in this category is: The Red Road by Denise Mina.

[Rebecca]

#4: Brown Girl Dreaming Another that could be in either of two categories, as it was also a prize-winner.

[Michael]

Just completed:
by John D. MacDonald

This is two down for color in the title. Keep reading everybody!

John D. MacDonald is a GREAT way to get all your "Color in the Title" reads done!

Wondering if I can count The Coloring Book: A Comedian Solves Race Relations in America since it does technically have "color" in the title.

I have to say no, but there are so many other opportunities to get this category knocked out, I'm sure you'll have no trouble at all finishing it out!

[Melki]

I finished The Black Minutes. Not bad, though it lost momentum about half way through. Or maybe I lost momentum. Momentum was definitely lost.

[Connie]

#4 in the colour category is Red Lightning by Laura Pritchett

[Melki]

I finally have another one - Anne of Green Gables.

[Connie]

My 5th and final one is The Jade Peony by Wayson Choy

[Melki]

Color title # 4 - the pretty unscary Black and Orange.

[Stephanie]

Started the year with the first in the series, ended the year with the second:

Golden Son by Pierce Brown

[Rebecca]

Here we go for #5: Gingersnap by Patricia Reilly Giff. The title is, of course, the name of a cookie, but it is also the nickname of the main character, due to her ginger (red) hair). So I say it's a color.
