Lenore (lenorenrr) I would like to start a few cover challenges. These seem to be a real hit in other groups. Cover challenges will vary in duration time.

Inspired by one of our Create-Your-Own Challenges:

Duration: 2 Months (May 1-June 30)
This challenge is all about the colorful covers. Each color must be the predominate color OR the background color! Read 2 books of each.

Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple
Black or White
Rainbow 2 different colors

Shannon (theholyterror) If anyone is having trouble with colors, I have specific shelves for them if you want to take a look!

I'm gonna go off and look myself and make a list. I love cover challenges!

Lenore (lenorenrr) Me to! Can't wait to see your list Shannon. I'll go check that folder out. I need yellow covers.


message 5: by Shannon (new)
May 01, 2010 01:03PM

Shannon (theholyterror) Yeah, yellow is a hard one. Just a question though - what exactly do you mean by rainbow? Does it have to have every color or just multiple colors?


message 6: by Lenore (new)
May 01, 2010 01:05PM

Lenore (lenorenrr) At least 2 different colors. I probably should fix that.

Laura Lulu (lauralulu) Are there rules for sticking to a paranormal/fantasy theme, or can we stick a book of a different genre in there? I went scouting around the group to see if I could find any guidelines, but didn't see anything.

Thanks!

Good to know, I just read a crazy yellow book that's a HR and I'm just not sure if I'm going to read Bullet - plus Bullet doesn't really have enough yellow anyway.

Laura Lulu (lauralulu) Sweet. I read Bridge to Terabithia last month for a banned book for a challenge and it's a yellow cover. Those yellow suckers are hard to come by. :)

The line at the top is yellow, that's what I was going on. And I don't need a warning for an LKH book, lol. I know it's gonna suck. It's one of the reasons I haven't bought it yet.
