2026 Reading Challenge discussion

PRISMATIC PAGES
Duration: January 1 – December 31, 2026

Join us this year as we read through the rainbow! Each month we will have a different color for you to fill your virtual shelves with. Read books where the cover is mainly the color of the month, or books with any shade of that color in the title.
Sign up for the total number of books you want to read for the year, whether it be evenly distributed across the rainbow or you just have a ton of blue books to read in January.
If you aren’t sure if your cover is more yellow or orange, you can drop an image of it into this website and it will break it down for you: https://labs.tineye.com/color/

🌈PRISMATIC PAGES🌈
Duration: January 1 – December 31, 2026
Progress: 27/60

Each month has a different color to fill our virtual shelves with - read books where the cover is mainly the featured color, or books with a shade of that color in the title.

I am choosing that covers have to be the featured color and to make it just a little extreme.... I am attempting to only read books each month that have the featured color on the cover. I will only count it towards the goal if the most dominant color (based off the labs.tineye color link in Group Thread) on the cover is the featured color but all books read in the month MUST have at least some of that color.
