We have a winner! Jessica B. Look in your email for my message. I appreciate everyone who participated with your awesome colored choices!! Thanks! :D

Welcome to my COLOR COVER MINI-CHALLENGE for Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon for hour 14. For those who participate, a $10 Amazon gift card is up for grabs. You need money for more books to read after reading so much today, right? ;) These mini-challenges are open for three hours, so at hour 17 (midnight eastern time) I'll be pulling a winner. Here is what you need to know...

It's all about COLOR!

Instructions:

1.
Pick a color(s). (I'm picking black and purple because there were four books like that I found on my shelves.)

2. Find four books with covers almost completely in that color/those colors (they need to be at least 2/3 similar - basically they need to match or be the same color - i.e. all green's, all yellow's, or match like mine below).

3. List the books somewhere or paste the pictures of the books online in a post on your blog or on another site. (You can also list the books in comments.)

4. Then come back here and leave a link in the comments below to where you posted (so we can all see) and in the Rafflecopter for the giveaway (if you left a note in comments and didn't post somewhere then you can just state "See in comments." instead of leaving a link in the Rafflecopter).

5. You can use Goodreads listopia if you need some help finding similar-colored covers. :)

Here's my example (you can also see another one with five books all in green here):


Now it's your turn! Leave a comment with your books or a link to them and in the Rafflecopter below for the giveaway.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's covers. Have fun!!!

    This is an awesome challenge for me because my books are all arranged by color. Heh. I picked orange because it's my favorite color and I love Penguins. Heh. http://instagram.com/p/uUbjAsMjM9/?modal=true
