I am starting
for #8. I think it fits in two ways; the cover is blue, plus Roarke always stays true to Eve. 8.La Couleur Bleue : Sapphire is a birth stone for the month of September. In honor of its color blue, read a book with a main character who has blue eyes, blue hair, wears a lot of blue; you could read a book that has blue on its cover. You could also read a book that makes you feel blue (aka sad). Since sapphires are associated with loyalty and faithfulness, read a book where the hero stays faithful to the heroine no matter what.
