Color Coded Reading Challenge 2020

I have loved doing this challenge and am in a gain for 2020.




The Color Coded Challenge

Once again the categories will be more open--the color may either be named in the title or it may appear as the dominant color for the cover of the book. For "implies color" the image implying cover should dominate the cover--for instance a large rainbow, a field of flowers, or the image of a painter. Get ready for a rainbow of reading in 2020. 

Here are the rules:

~Challenge runs from January 1 through December 31, 2020 and any book read after January 1 may count regardless of when you sign up. Sign-ups accepted until November 1, 2020.
