Hosted by Vonnie's Reading Corner & A Night's Dream of Books
Today's challenge fits so well with my current review TBR pile - the rainbow just sort of came naturally when I threw in one of the books I'm hoping to read for the read-a-thon, and with a wee bit of rearranging! Take a look...
I didn't even have to go digging through other TBR piles or shelves of books I've already read! These are all books I plan to read and review in the new year (minus All in Good Time, which I hope to read within the next few days!).
- Dragonwitch by Anne Elisabeth Stengl
- Burning Sky by Lori Benton
- All in Good Time by Maureen Lang
- The Dancing Master by Julie Klassen
- Mountain Homecoming by Sandra Robbins
- Under a Blackberry Moon by Serena B. Miller
- The Calling by Suzanne Woods Fisher
As for the other challenges for the read-a-thon, I just want to briefly address them by saying you can find some book covers I love on my "Cover Candy" Pinterest board, and I'll be sharing my list of favorite 2013 reads on New Year's Eve. So I won't be officially entering those challenges - hopefully I'll get busy reading and reviewing books until I post my wrap-up the night of the 30th! I'll also plan on posting a wrap-up for the Contentment Reading Challenge tomorrow. Lots of bookish things coming your way as 2013 comes to a close!
Happy reading!

I had to go through my TBR pile to find my book spine rainbow. It's great that you didn't have to do that! :) Great rainbow!
Nice rainbow, Amber! I like the pictures on the spines, especially the one for "The Dancing Master"! I really want to read that book, by the way. It sure sounds like a lovely story!
Happy reading!!
That's awesome how your rainbow just came together! I had fun picking out the books for mine.
Melanie,
I thought it was neat how my review TBR was so colorful already, making this challenge easy to complete. :) Thank you for the kind words!

Maria,
Thank you! The spines are really cool with the models, aren't they? Julie Klassen writes great historical romances - I'm thinking The Dancing Master will be a nice read! :) Hope you get to read it soon, too!

Abbi,
I know! I was happy about that. ;) Glad you had fun with your rainbow, too!

Great rainbow! I especially like the spine of Under a Blackberry Moon, I've heard great things about that book! Hope you enjoy it and all the other books you read this week! :D
Hey, you were able to find indigo. I was debating whether or not to add this color to the list since it's part of the rainbow. But I figured that it would be hard for those to distinguish between indigo and violet.
Well, have fun with your reads and your other bookish activities!
Caitlyn,
Thank you! I just love the colors/shading on the cover/spine of Under a Blackberry Moon! Purple is my favorite color. :) Serena is a great author, so I'm curious to give this one a try!
Thank you for the kind words - happy reading to you, as well!

Vonnie,
I'm not sure if I got all the shadings exactly right, but I couldn't resist adding "indigo" since I had the darker purple spine - and ROY G. BIV (acronym for the colors of the rainbow) is kind of stuck in my head, haha. ;) But I totally understand with just picking one shade of purple for the challenge!
Thanks for stopping by to check out my book-spine rainbow!

How can one forget Mr. Roy G Biv? Lol, that's how I taught the rainbow's name to my students.
Vonnie,
Yay! You're familiar with the little rainbow man, too. ;) How cute that you used the acronym with your students!
