Top Ten Tuesday books that could be Crayola crayon colors

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @thatartsyreadergirl. Each week, Jana will post a prompt, and we as readers write a response to that, or a different one if we’re not feeling the original prompt that week. This is a meme that was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. This week, our prompt is book titles that could be Crayola crayon colors. I have to be honest; I was thinking about changing it up this week. Once I got thinking about the topic in a more general sense, I easily came up with ten I thought could work. Read on to see the books I picked for this week and see my thoughts on them.

1- Cinder- brick red/ brown

This is the first in a Sci-fi/ Fantasy. I loved this book and I don’t read a ton of the genre. This book was so fun and the characters are great. The series follows Fairy Tales, and it is retellings, this one following Cinderella. I picked a brick/ red color because I feel like Cinder is a dark character with some light around the edges.

2- Cress- yellow

This is the third book in The Lunar Chronicles, and I loved it so much. The story follows Rapunzel, and I loved her character so much.  I picked yellow for Rapunzel because she is very positive and Rapunzel has a thing for yellow in the movie Tangled. Also, her hair is yellow/ blonde.

3- A Court of Thorns and Roses–deep red

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that this was my foray into Fantasy. I love this series, and although it’s a mouth full, I think it could work for a Crayola color. My color inspiration for this is a deep red, like a dark red, not the color of bricks like Cinder’s. 

4- A Court of Sliver Flames- grey

Just like with The Lunar Chronicles, I picked two books from the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. This is the newest book that just came out in February. I’m enjoying this book I just need to find the time to finish it. The color of grey reminds me of this book because it has some intense and dark themes. Also, I don’t think sliver would translate well to a color. 

5- The House on the Cerulean Sea- light blue

When thinking about books that could be Crayola colors, this one came to mind. I picked light blue because it’s the color of the sea. I’m really enjoying this story and I think it has the potential to be a top ten read of the year. I think I could see it being a top ten read of the quarter as well.

6- A Little Princess- pink

This is a classic novel that I read for the first time in March. I loved this story and the main character Sara so much. I picked pink because I think it’s cute and I think it suits Sara as a character. For reference, Princess Charlotte's dress from The Princess and the Frog is the color I envision, but maybe a little lighter. 

7- Red, White, and Royal Blue- dark blue

I loved this book so much!!!! This book follows Alex and Henry, I just loved that couple so much, and I loved their story. This is enemies to lovers' story, and I was so here for their romance. I picked dark blue like the Royal Blue text on the cover of the book. I picked it because it’s like the colors of the American Flag, and I think it suits the book, characters, and themes well.

8- Anne of Green Gables- Dark Green

This is another classic middle-grade novel. I enjoy Anne as a character, and yet, I’ve never read her story. I have a copy of this that I plan on reading soon. I picked dark green because I think it resembles the forest and the farm where Anne lives. Also, one of my copies of the book is a dark green.

9- Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West- bright green

I couldn’t do this prompt and not use this book. This book is fantastic and I might reread it but skip the second book. If I reread, I might just reread this one because this book was so much fun and has such a fun vibe. Wicked is one of my favorite musicals, and so I knew that I needed to feature this book on this list. Obviously, the green color I’m talking about here is the color of Elphaba’s/ The Wicked Witch of the West’s skin for this color. To shorten, we could just call this color Wicked.

10- With the Fire on High-orange

This is on my TBR for next month!!! I look forward to getting to know the main character because she seems like a badass. I picked orange for this because it’s the color of fire.
