I know Charlotte already gave you an answer, but just to give you the official rule: its three non-PNR (non-PNR meaning without any kind of paranormal element at all in the story) books for each monthly challenge.

Happy reading!

@Yz, does that work?"

Personally, Stay the Night looks brown to me. But sometimes colors do not translate well in pictures, so your book might be more pink than what we can see.

It's usually a judgement call, and in that case, I leave it up to the participant to decide which color will she categorize a cover.

Can the challenge go until Oct. 31st? That's an extra day to me get a book in!

Hi. Can anyone tell me how you re-post your list as you go? Do you have to type it in each time? I see some that have their books crossed off as they read them. How do you do that? And do you just search Goodreads for books of a certain color? Or is there a trick? Thanks!

When I update my list I go back to the original one I wrote and hit "Edit" fix it and then copy and paste it so then my new updated list can be seen as a new post. In regards to picking your books, I first looked at the next in my series that I am reading and placed them in the right color, and then went to my list of "To-Read" books and viewed only covers and picked the rest of my colors.
