Just how colourful was February ?

We come to the end of February and I come to the end of my colourful challenge. I read eleven books with colours in the title during the course of the month and I have one only partly read (Prussian Blue by Philip Kerr) which I shall finish and review sometime in March.

It has been an excellent challenge in that I have enjoyed every single one of the books read, which isn’t always the case with these challenges. They were certainly a mixture, including fantasy, a classic, crime novels, biography, history and literary fiction, which represents in a nutshell my varied reading diet. The only things that they had in common were that there was a colour in the title and that they were present on my to-be-read pile, and in one case on my Kindle to-be-read list. I do note, however, that over half of the books read had either white or black in their titles !

I recommend all these books and I list them below – just click on the title for my review. Thank you to all of you who have made comments about the books I have read – I have enjoyed reading what you think.

Now that spring is here, the snowdrops are out and the daffodils are beginning to shoot up, I am about to undertake a bigger challenge for the next three months. I can only hope that that is as successful as this one has been – I shall post about that soon.
