The 52 Book Club: 2025 / 2026 Challenge discussion

Note: this challenge must be completed in order

13. Cover is on opposite side of colour wheel to previous book: What colour was your book cover for prompt 12? For this prompt, we’re looking for a book cover that is on the opposite side of the colour wheel.

A colour wheel is an illustrative tool designed to help show the relationship between colours. Opposite colours have a high contrast to each other but are complementary. Examples: Red and green, orange and blue, purple and yellow, black and white, etc.

It’s up to you how specific you’d like to get regarding varying shades, multiple colours, etc.

Sample Challenge: My prompt 12 choice was The Last Secret Agent: My Life as a Spy Behind Nazi Lines which has a mostly dark black cover that transitions into grey and green. So, for this prompt, I’ll be looking for a white cover with maybe a little red on it. My copy of The Snowman by Jo Nesbø fits perfectly.

My choice for prompt #12 is Egyptens pyramider by Dick Harrison



The main cover colours are blue and sand, so I'll be looking for a cover with orange and purple. Firstly I'll check my Swedish history books - No luck there, now I am checking A Very Short Introduction books.

Books I already own:
