Sarbi | 173 comments As we move into August, which many deem the ending of an awesome summer, we celebrate all those summer rainbow colors.

The challenge is pretty simple, it revolves around finding books with, you guessed it, the colors of the rainbow! So *drumrolls* we got:

Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet

The idea is to go in order in color coordination getting at least 2 colors in order to create the rainbow effect. So the fun part getting this lovely result or as close posible!

Challenge Rules:
→ When you sign up for the challenge, please post some kind of a place saver so that I can link you up under the participants. You will be updating this first post as you finish your books.

→ For each book you read, please update your original post and somehow indicate which book you read, and the date you finished reading it.

→ You may only use each book once in this challenge, but feel free to use the same titles in other challenges!

→ If you decide that you've bitten off more than you can chew, feel free to let me know you'd like to downgrade, or even back out of the challenge. However, please do not delete your posts. It will mess up the links to other participants' postings if you do.

→ Books must be started on or after August 1st, 2015. Books started before this date will not be counted for this challenge.

Biate Completed Medium Level. I won't be getting to an orange book in time to complete hard level. :-(

Sarbi | 173 comments That`s still good! ;) Looks great and they`ll be more fun challanges ahead, hope you had fun!


message 30: by Biate (new)

Biate I did have fun.

Things have just been so hectic this last week, that I never got to the books I had planned. My dad had a very unexpected stroke. And I say unexpected because he has never had any problems with high blood pressure or his heart. Even now the doctors are trying to figure out what caused the blood clot. Currently his left side is paralyzed and he cant talk or swallow.

But luckily I have great groups like this one to keep my mind busy and distracted. :-)
