Color Coded Reading Challenge 2022 - My Sign-Up

I'm in for another year! Reading by color is more fun than other methods, somehow: organized, but in an unusual way.

I'm taking the opportunity to knock off some more prize winners, too.  

This fun challenge is run by Bev at My Reader's Block, who reads more books and completes more challenges than you can imagine. All the challenge details are here, if you'd also like to join. Don't worry that you're too late -- you can join anytime. The required colors can be part of the title or can appear on the cover, which makes things a little easier. 

1. Blue: The Lower River - Paul Theroux (review)

2. Red: I'd Walk With My Friends if I Could Find Them - Jesse Goolsby (Florida Book Award) (review)

3. Yellow: The Glorious Heresies - Lisa McInerney (Orange Prize) (review)

4. Green: Foreign Affairs - Alison Lurie (Pulitzer Prize) (review)

5. Brown: Home Boy - H.M. Naqvi (DSC Prize) (review)

6. Black: The Hours - Michael Cunningham (Pulitzer Prize) (review)

7. White: May We Be Forgiven - A.M. Homes (Orange Prize for Fiction) (review)

8. Any other color: Orange: Chinaman - Shehan Karunatilaka (DSC Prize) Substitute: A Road Course in Early American Literature: Travel and Teaching from Atzlan to Amherst - Thomas Hallock (review)

9. Implies color: On Beauty - Zadie Smith (James Tait Black Prize) (review) (I know I'm really stretching, but my thought process is like this: beauty makes me think of makeup, which makes me think of applying color -- that's my story and I'm sticking to it)

L.P. clearly approves.
