Color Coded Challenge

The next few challenges I wanted to post about are still pretty straightforward and not too overwhelming, but they do have a bit more specifics to them than just tracking how many you read of a certain type of book.

This post is about the Color Coded Challenge hosted by Bev at myreadersblock.  As the name implies you will read books that have a color meeting a category prompt. 

The Basic rules are as follows:

• The Color can either be named in the Title or be the dominant color on the cover.  
• Books must be read between Jan 1- Dec 31, 2020.
• You may signup for the challenge until Nov 1, 2020 and count any books you read after Jan 1.  
• Sign up link is here https://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2019/10/color-coded-read-it-again-sam-reading.html
• Cross over books used in other challenges is allowed.

The 9 book prompts being used for the challenge are listed below.  I have also included the books I plan to use to complete the challenge where possible.  I will come back and update the post to include the books I completed for the challenge.
