Color Coded Reading Challenge 2021 - My Sign-Up

I really enjoy this challenge -- I'm not sure why it has such a hold on me. I suspect it has something to do with my Roy G. Biv affinity. 

(By the way, having packed all the books away, I am strongly tempted to organize them by color when I reshelve them. My reading is a lot more relaxed now and I think I could handle the fact that the "by color" method makes individual titles harder to find.) 

This fun challenge is also run by Bev at My Reader's Block. All the challenge details are here, if you'd also like to join. The colors can be part of the title or can appear on the cover, which makes things a little easier. 

Fortunately, when I boxed up the books there were a few I kept out, so I was able to fill the challenge with books I have on hand. It's a highly eclectic grouping, to be sure!
