Duration: January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2021

This challenge requires you find books that have certain colors in their covers or in the title. Let the challenge leader know how man..."


Okay would "dark" count? And does there have to be a colour name after the descriptive word? I finished all of the others some time ago, but this one has been the hardest. I am reading In a Dark Wood Wandering and wonder if this would count :)

This was a really fun challenge! Thank you, Blagica, for leading it.
I think my favorite prompt was "ugly cover" - The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes by Unknown I mean, seriously! Look at that thing up close. I think that's the ugliest cover I've ever seen. LOL
