The Robot Librarian's Reading Challenge discussion

This should be a colorful prompt, haha... remember, first AND last names count. (Even middle names if you'd like!)

Betty white books!

You could get a little creative with this one. For example, F(red)rik Backman or S(tan)ley Tucci.

Would Rainbow Rowell count? :)

Some other ideas:
Alex White
Holly Black
Katy Rose Pool
Moniquill Blackgoose
Claudia Gray
Melissa Grey

Mary Brown wrote lighthearted fantasy
Kiersten White, YA historical fiction and some YA horror/supernatural
Dan Brown of The Da Vinci Code fame
John Green YA

Reading The Wild Robot by Peter Brown

I got to thinking you could also choose an author whose name means a color in a language other than English. For example Braun is "brown" in German, "LeBlanc" is white in French, "Rossi" is red in Italian.

I read Fever Year: The Killer Flu of 1918 by Don Brown - 1/10/24.

I read There There by Tommy Orange

I've read three books by Graham Greene this year. One of those will do.

Japanese:

Akai = Red
Aoi = Blue
Kuroi = Black
Midori = Green
Murasaki = Purple (Tale of Genji!)

Unlikely colour names:

Chairo = Brown
Kiroi = Yellow
Oraniji = Orange
Pinku = Pink

Good luck finding anyone with the name white (shiroi), because 'shi' means death in Japanese, although death and the colour have different kanji.

I went with GOLD!
