2018 Reading Challenges Wrap Up!

 Hey everyone!!  This is my reading challenges wrap up and I have to sadly say that I didn't complete all the reading challenges for this year. I've only managed to complete a few of the challenges for the year, even though that is still an accomplishment since I rarely complete reading challenges. Here's to hoping that 2019 is the year I can complete more reading challenges!

2018 Color Coded Reading Challenge

Once again the categories will be more open--the color may either be named in the title or it may appear as the dominant color for the cover of the book. For "implies color" the image implying color should dominate the cover--for instance a large rainbow, a field of flowers, or the image of a painter.  Get ready for a rainbow of reading in 2018. 

Once I have a chance to look over my TBR list I'll see if I'm able to do the colors this year. It's getting harder and harder to do that from my own stacks. Once again there will not be a prize offered for this particular challenge this year. 

Here are the rules:

*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. 
2. A book with "Red" or any shade of Red (Scarlet, Crimson, Burgandy, etc) in the title/on the cover. :  This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab  : Completed: 6/27/2018 ★ ★ ★  ★ 1/2
