I am aiming to wrap this one up more promptly because I’m already getting excited about the next set I have in mind as well… but I won’t spoil the surprise yet □ Which brings us to round 2 of cover vibes reading! I am excited to announce that I’m already well underway with my second batch of color reading, and so I give to you:Īs with the first round, I’ve pulled everything (unread) from my shelves that I think fits the aesthetic I’ve got in mind I’ll choose 6 books as I go and share reactions/reviews of each as I move through the challenge. And I am drawn lately to futuristic books and especially those dealing with climate change- they tend to have a much shorter turnaround time between buying and reading as of late.īut maybe one color just hasn’t been enough yet to really delve into color vs content trends- perhaps I need to compare a bit more widely. I’ve also realized that I tend to fare better with YA when I’m able to get to it while it’s new. Historical fiction, for example, often sounds appealing to me in the bookshop, but it does seem to be a genre that gets backburnered on my shelves and often ends up being lower-rated reading for me than I expected. I managed to find two 5 stars out of six blue reads which I think is a pretty good showing of successful reads, but I might have expected even a little more from my favorite color? I actually think I’ve learned more about my buying habits and what sort of books I’m more or less likely to read promptly once they hit my personal shelves than about cover color vs content. I also read 2 futuristic books featuring some fallout of climate change, but I did expect that from my choices going in. The biggest unexpected coincidence was simply discovering that the two historical fiction books I picked up for snowy blues both (unbeknownst to me going in) took place in the same historical decade- the 1680s. Unfortunately, I don’t think I have gained any valuable insight yet into whether cover color has any deeper meaning for content or reading experience lol. I’m enjoying the adventure/challenge of reading by color so far, although I am also already coming up against some of the limitations.
