Color Coded Reading Challenge for 2015

Just realized I had neglected to actually join this reading challenge for this year, so here is my official entry post! It's hosted by Bev at My Reader's Block, and here is a link to the challenge at her blog so you can sign up too. This year there is a new aspect: the color can be part of the title or be the dominant color for the cover of the book (for the "implies color" category the image implying color should dominate the cover). This is a fun addition to the challenge. It seems that a lot of the books I end up reading for this challenge have the actual color in the title, I guess I am sort of literal that way, but it's always fun to find books for each category. Here are the categories:

Read nine books in the following categories.
1. A book with "Blue" or any shade of Blue (Turquoise, Aquamarine, Navy, etc) in the title/on the cover. - A Beautiful Blue Death - Charles Finch

2. A book with "Red" or any shade of Red (Scarlet, Crimson, Burgandy, etc) in the title/on the cover. - The Merit Birds (Red cover with black lettering and design elements)

3. A book with "Yellow" or any shade of Yellow (Gold, Lemon, Maize, etc.) in the title/on the cover. - Amberville - Tim Davys

4. A book with "Green" or any shade of Green (Emerald, Lime, Jade, etc) in the title/on the cover. - Berlin Noir - Philip Kerr (Green-tinted black and white photo and green type on cover)

5. A book with "Brown" or any shade of Brown (Tan, Chocolate, Beige, etc) in the title/on the cover. Eat Chocolate, Lose Weight - Will Clower, PhD

6. A book with "Black" or any shade of Black (Jet, Ebony, Charcoal, etc) in the title/on the cover. Black Earth - Timothy Snyder

7. A book with "White" or any shade of White (Ivory, Eggshell, Cream, etc) in the title/on the cover. - The Ways of White Folks - Langston Hughes

8. A book with any other color in the title/on the cover (Purple, Orange, Silver, Pink, Magenta, etc.). - Goodbye, Columbus - Philip Roth (Violet/Mauve cover with black and white lettering)

9. A book with a word that implies color (Rainbow, Polka-dot, Plaid, Paisley, Stripe, etc.). - The Girl in the Polka-dot Dress - Beryl Bainbridge

I'm looking forward to this challenge again this year - I always dig up some interesting books along the way. Leave me a comment if you have any book suggestions for the categories!
