'Luck o' the Irish' ~ read a book with a cover that's green, orange, or white, the colours of the flag of Ireland (I'd say about 70% ish of the cover needs to be one of those colours . . . it needs to be quite obvious what you're going for) . . . or level up by reading 3 books (one for each colour)!
Who's in?
(For those who would like to keep track, a thread for all the year's monthly focus challenges can be found here.)

I'm not sure I'm going to make the level up, but I'm definitely going to be going for the orange cover with Tacos for Two Tacos for Two by Betsy St. Amant .

Karen, I think the last 2 are workable for white. The rest are not quite white, but more of a different shade.

MissyTexas | 254 comments I’m in! I am just not sure about finding a good book, I spend hours last Saturday looking for a Fiction book in library. Saw a bunch of non fiction or prayer support books with white covers.

I read Once Upon a Wardrobe last month for the “O” that had a white cover if on anyone’s list…

Good luck! Xo

I'd definitely take the Robert Whitlow as a green cover, Sarita. I'm not sure the DiAnn Mills one works for 70% of one colour or another with an orange/green focus.

I'd say The Alliance (The Alliance #1) by Jolina Petersheim on your plan could fit white and The Centurion's Wife (Acts of Faith, #1) by Davis Bunn might fit orange, even though it looks more yellow than orange. You can ask Kate if she agrees.

Kate (liahonagirl) | 3739 comments Mod
I know you haven't asked, Reagan, but I'm going to chime in and say that the Jolina Petersheim definitely works for white, and the Davis Bunn/Janette Oke one will also work as orange. Great catches, Simone!

Will either of these qualify for orange - Evidence of Murder by Jill Elizabeth Nelson The Centurion's Wife (Acts of Faith, #1) by Davis Bunn ?

Will this one Gabriel's Gift (Christmas Holiday Extravaganza) by Susan M. Baganz qualify for a white cover?

Ana wrote: "Ok great! I have the books I’ll use for green and orange now I just need a white book."

Ana, I just realised that I misread your question. I thought you were asking if the Janette Oke cover would qualify for white, rather than asking if both would qualify for green. I think that Love's Enduring Promise is such that it would work well for white, as that's the first 'colour impression' that I see from it.
Sorry for the confusion I inadvertently caused!🫢


message 39: by Ana (new)

Ana Lopez | 132 comments Oh okay so Love’s Enduring Promise could count for White and Love’s Sacred Song for Green? That would be great!

Green - A Garden to Keep (The Derby Series #4) by Jamie Langston Turner (3/3) does light green count?"


To be honest, Lauri, that green is so light that it's giving me white-ish vibes, so you are more than welcome to count it for either white or green. (Perhaps finding a darker green might be easier for you than finding another white 'working' one? But, I'll leave it to your discretion.)

It does, but we're looking for covers with at least 70% of one colour on the cover to count. So, this book would count as orange because that's the main 'colour profile' I'm seeing, even though it also contains hints of green and white.
