The Rainbow Cover challenge is for you to challenge yourself and choose books from the "rainbow" of colors.

Make a list of books in order of:

Red:
Orange:
Yellow:
Green:
Blue:
Purple:


And if you want a challenge add:
Pink:
White:
Black:

Rules:
The majority of the books cover must be the specific color
The color can be any "variation" of that color
Post here
Enjoy reading

Time Frame
There isn't one. Go as you please at your own pace!

Karen Michele Burns (klibrary) Are we supposed to read the books in the rainbow order, or just pick them and read them in random order? I'll be posting my books later today. I'm asking because I just started a book I could use for purple if random reading order is ok. Thanks!
