I like this week’s prompt idea. You don’t really think about how many books have a certain colour in the cover or have a type of food or plant in the title or have authors whose names begin with a certain letter until you have a challenge like this one. I hadn’t ever thought about how often colours come up in book titles, and it turns out quite often!
Well that was fun! Which obvious one did I forget about? See any here you’ve read?
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly link-up feature created by The Broke and the Bookish and hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Every week TTT has a different topic, and everyone who links up has to create a link of ten items that fit that topic. To see past and upcoming topics, go here.
I love this rainbow of covers!! I forgot about White Oleander.
My TTT
Thank you! I had a sneaky trick – I searched for every colour name I could think of on Goodreads to see if any I recognized or wanted to read came up and that’s where my list came from – or I would have forgotten it too!
The Red Tent has a pretty cover. Here is my TTT

It’s a lot better than the original, I think!
I also had way more than 10 on my list and couldn’t decide which ones to put on so I decided not to do this one!
Yeah, honestly I included them all because I just didn’t have the energy to narrow it down!
Great list. Here is my TTT

Thanks!
You are welcome
Whoa! That’s quite a list! 😀 And I’ve only read a couple of them, though I’m shocked I didn’t think of Anne of Green Gables…
Here’s mine!
I’ve only read a few as well! I nearly forgot her – glad I didn’t, as she’s a favourite!
Wowser that’s a great list with every colour of the rainbow and more! Thanks for sharing!
I tried to find some fancy colour names (like magenta) but was surprised at how few I remembered!
You a ton! I had White Oleander today, too.
I may have gotten a little carried away… 😉
Wow! You managed to pull together such a huge list. Great job!
It was quite fun once I got started, so I just kept going!
Bluets is such a pretty word. I like it.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday .
Me too! It makes me think of seeing little snippets of sea or sky through a vacation rental window…
Feminists Don’t Wear Pink was on my list this week too!
My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2020/08/04/top-ten-tuesday-275/
I haven’t read it yet, but it’s one that sounds intriguing!
Harold and the Purple Crayon was on my list, too!
My TTT .
That one is thanks to my daughter – it’s one of her favourites!
I’ve read several on your list! But many I haven’t. Anne of Green Gables and Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit are so good!!!!
Here is my TTT: https://ichlese.blog/2020/08/04/top-ten-tuesday-horror-books-with-colors-in-their-title/.
I love Anne – haven’t read Oranges yet, though I’ve tried a few times! It’s weird, for some reason I just can’t get stuck in. Even though it’s a tiny book!
I love all of these beautiful colors in book titles.
Me too!
Great list! Half of a Yellow Sun, Purple Hibiscus and Anne of Green Gables have all been on my TBR for ages, it’s about time I read them!
I haven’t read most of the books on this list, but Anne of Green Gables is an all-time favourite. It’s an older book so the language takes a bit of time to get into, but Anne is so bewitching, and the story both breaks and mends your heart as you read it. Well worth checking out!
Wow – that is a lot of books and the only one I’ve read is Half of a Yellow Sun. Although I have seen the movie, The Colour Purple I haven’t read the book.
I haven’t read Yellow Sun yet, but I’ve read a few of Adichie’s other books and found them very powerful. Now, The Colour Purple is one I am not sure I read or not! I think I did on a trip to Germany, but I just can’t be sure without reading it again, and I haven’t found the time to do that yet. If it is the book I’m thinking of though, it’s fantastic! To be clear, I haven’t read most of these either!!! They’re just books I found with colours in the titles. So don’t worry!
Impressive list. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/08/ttt-080420.html
Haha thanks! I may have gotten a little carried away….
You did so much better than I did! I struggled so hard to figure any titles out!
Great list!
My Top Ten Tuesday
It was hard at first, but then I figured out the trick is to find colour names in Google then plug them into Goodreads one at a time and sift through the results! It was actually pretty fun.
Wow! What a thorough selection! Love it. We have a few in common. Here’s my I see your true colors
Thanks! I’ll check yours out!
