Need a new reading list?

”I can go anywhere
With friends to know
And ways to grow
A reading rainbow”

Choose a book from each color of the rainbow! Books come in all colors.

Diversify your shelf aesthetic and read the rainbow.

Here are some of the books I’ve read in each category to give you some ideas. Full disclosure: some of these books were not ones I particularly enjoyed but I put the list together based on cover and space. Most of them are good though!

As I was putting these together I realized that the most common book cover colors of the books I’ve read are red, white, and blue.

What’s the most common color of book cover on your shelf?

Click the book titles after each color to read my corresponding book reviews.
