Any ideas for a colour related book?

[notjudgingjustasking]



Sorry was trying to post a reading group suggestion list but I cannot work out how to do it!
For Every month it suggests a different type of book
For January it suggests reading a book with a colour in the title.
I have read the colour purple, the green mile so was hoping for something else.
Ideally something quite cheerful
Any suggestions?

The Red Pony

Half of a Yellow Sun

fifty shades of gray? 😂 maybe try looking on good reads? i did a reading challenge last year and they have lists of books relating to different themes which helped me when i was stuck.

Blue Eyed Boy by Joanne Harris
The Phillip Gregory books - Red Queen, White Queen etc
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
Silver Bay by Jojo Moyes

Slightly cheating but The Colour by Rose Tremain?

The Red Tent - Anita Diamant

Oranges are not the Only Fruit

The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber

Black Swan Green by David Mitchell

A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler

The Land of Green Ginger, by Noel Langley - it is a children’s book, but is very funny, and I still enjoy it as an adult.

The Colour Purple.

That's fantastic!

Reads full post...

Pops

How Green Was My Valley

The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes

On the black hill, Bruce Chatwin
Black beauty, Anna Sewell
Warrior Scarlet, Rosemary Sutcliff
The yellow on the broom, Betsy White
The white tiger, Aravind Adiga

Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde. Emphatically NOT the porny one!

Not a specific colour but Astonishing Splashes of Colour by Clare Morrall is a really good book.
About someone with synastheasia.

A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler?

The Colour Purple

The Yellow Wallpaper

Red rising... dystopian fiction I wasn't a big fan and gave up.

Colour purple?

Thankyiu all so much for these suggestions lots to get going with - might retread the colour purple after all . February's theme is a book that's been made into a film so would also be ideal fir the people who take time to savour a book ( slowcreaders!)

Came on to say A Spool of Blue Thread or Crimson Petal and the White, but see they're already here. Can echo the recommendations though!

Although if you're worried about slow readers the latter is a big book (I loved it though, probably more than the Tyler)

OP, can you try again to share the list? Might try to do this independently. I always struggle to choose which book to read next, so this could be fun

I can't work out how to but I'll write it out
Jan-book with a colour in the title
Feb- book that is also a movie
March- book wit a nature word in the title
April- a book that has been sitting on the shelf
May- a children's or young adults book
June- with a place in the title
July- newest unread book on your shelf
August- a fantasy book
Sept- written before 1950
October- a thriller or mystery
November - a biography
December- a Christmas themed book

Anne of Green Gables!
