A challenge to read more... Reading Rainbow (part 2)

Since joining Goodreads.com I have found many “new to me” authors and series. I took the site’s general “2014 Reading Challenge” and have signed up again this year. In addition to that I decided to sign up for a few reading challenges that the groups I belong to have set it’s members. This post is all about the annual reading challenge that the “Urban Fantasy” Group have set for the whole of this year (2015)…

Reading Rainbow Yearly Challenge

Your goal: 7 to 38 books, depending on your level
 
Duration: January 1 – December 31, 2015 (Honestly, I originally designed this to be an open-ended challenge that would take however long you need to complete it. So if December rolls around and we’re still not done, we could roll it over into next year.)
 
The rules:
- This challenge is divided into four parts. You may choose to do all parts or only one, two or three parts.
- The books may be from any genre, unless specified otherwise in a category.
- Re-reads are allowed as are books used for other challenges.
- You may post your list up front or as you go and you may make changes as you go.
 
Choose your level:
Fingerpaint – Any one part
Watercolour – Any two parts
Acrylic – Any three parts
Oil – All four parts


PART TWO ~ 8 books
Read a book with a cover that predominantly matches each colour.
 
Red: Night Unbound (Immortal Guardians #5) by Dianne Duvall
Orange: Darkness Seduced (Order of the Blade #2) by Stephanie Rowe
Yellow: Jonas (Darkness #7) by K.F. Breene
Green: Hunted by a Jaguar (Eternal Mates #4) by Felicity Heaton
Blue: Darkness Reborn (Order of the Blade #5) by Stephanie Rowe
Purple: Huntress (Alexa O’Brien, Huntress #0.5) by Trina M Lee
Black: Darlings of Darkness by various authors
White: Cupcakes, Trinkets and other Deadly Magic (The Dowser Series #1) by Meghan Ciana Doidge

So, have you read any of these books? As always you can see my reviews on Goodreads and if you click on the name of the author it will take you to their website.

I love the idea of challenges as they make you source books that you may miss if left to your own devises, a favourite author, book or series could be just around the corner.....

I will post more as I complete each section with the tag/label #ReadingRainbowYearlyChallenge2015 to make it easier for you to find the relevant posts - part 3 is all about the meanings of the colours....
