Color Coded Reading Challenge 2020 - My Sign-up

I'm in for another year!

This is a nice challenge; if you'd also like to join, find the details here. I'm very grateful that the rules allow the color of the cover to qualify the book, because doing this by title only would be incompatible with my desire to read from my TBR shelves as much as possible.

This year I'm determined to keep up with my reviews as I go along. We shall see if that resolution stands or falls as the reading year unfolds.

1. Blue: Sleeping on Jupiter - Anuradha Roy (DSC Prize) (review)
2. Red: Beloved - Toni Morrison (Radcliffe's Top 100) (review)
3. Yellow: Song of Solomon - Toni Morrison (Radcliffe's Top 100) (review)
4. Green: Breathing Lessons - Anne Tyler (Pulitzer) (review)
5. Brown: Home - Marilynne Robinson (review)
6. Black: Passing - Nella Larsen (review)
7. White: The Story of a Brief Marriage - Anuk Arudpragasam (DSC Prize) substitute: Nothing Happens Until it Happens to You - T.M. Shine (Florida Book Award) (review)
8. Any other color: Wolf Totem - Jiang Rong (grey) (Asian Literary Prize) substitute: Landmarks - Robert MacFarlane (aqua)
9. Implies color: The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness - Sy Montgomery (Orion Book Award) (an octopus can change color to match its surroundings and express emotions, and can also squirt ink in defense -- so I say it works for this category) (review)
