Did you like Stargirl? I read that book as a teen and still love it :) You should definitely read Love, Stargirl (I'm also hoping for a third books too!) but he did have quite a gap between the first two.

[Heidi]

Great job Courtney! Piper I could not get into Stargirl - it was too out there for me.

[Courtney]

I really enjoyed Stargirl. I was thinking about reading the second one for the green category.

I was thinking of trying it again. Perhaps I was too harsh the first time. I did like the audio because John Ritter was the narrator and he was great.

1. The book may only be used once. If it has two colors, pick the most dominant and that's the color your reading.

2. It can be any genre.

3. Please post the covers not just the names so we can see the colors of the books. Maybe someone would want to read that too.

4. The challenge is from Nov.1, 2010 - October 31, 2011.

The colors are:

Red
Orange - DONE
Yellow
Green
Blue - DONE
Purple
Pink
Black DONE
Grey/Silver and/or
Brown
White and/or
Gold/Beige

Just back date it! Feel free to add books you have read since November if that helps - that is when we started :)

Yes, please join us!

[Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads)]

I just started with books read in February so far. I will probably have no problems getting all the colors in the time left. Most of them are ones I plan to read this month anyway. I haven't filled mine all in yet.

I got all my colors except silver/grey done right away and I have been waiting on the silver/grey book for two months now!

[Monica]

I will join. I will look through my books to see what colors I have.

[Heidi]

Great Monica! The more the merrier.

[[deleted user]]

This sounds like a fun challenge. Can I still sign up to do? I'll get my colors together now.

[Heidi]

Yup - we have until next fall to get everything read, so come on over!

[Kurukka]

Jeez, I have to get back to my rainbow challenge, it's been a while, I've been reading other books °_°

[Gwennie]

Me too, lol.

[Rach (pagesofpiper)]

Me three!

Can I change them? :P

I think I've read a rainbow but with other books :D

[Heidi]

Change them anytime! I have changed mine a few times :)

[Gwennie]

I change mine too, lol.

[Laura]

I realize I'm joining this challenge sort of late, but I couldn't resist. I think this will maybe help keep me on track with books I want to read but kept putting off for some reason.

Purple:

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

Pink:

Crossing Oceans by Gina Holmes

Blue:

The Betrayal of Maggie Blair


Torn by Amanda Hocking

Green:

Nation by Terry Pratchett

Red:

Incarceron by Catherine Fisher

Yellow:

One Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin

Orange:

I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore

Black:

The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Potzsch


The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman

Grey/Silver:

The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan

White:

A Matter of Magic by Patricia Wrede

Gold/Beige:

This list was so difficult to put together! I had the hardest time finding a pink cover, because I'm just not a pink kind of girl and I think the types of books I like to read sort of reflect that.
Plus, I had so many books with black covers!

[Heidi]

Welcome Laura!
