It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 4th
and runs through Sunday, January 10th in whatever time zone you are in.
Bout of Books is low-pressure.
There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional.

THE CHALLENGE FOR DAY 3 IS

The Rainbow Challenge

HOSTED BY

Ranty Runt of a Reader

For the cover challenge, collect books from your bookshelf (physical or virtual) and make yourself a rainbow using the covers. A rainbow is ROYGBIV (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet). Then take a photo or arrange images of those books into a rainbow, and either post to twitter (@bookybecksa & #boutofbooks), post to your own blog and leave me a link in the comments below or simply comment below with your response!

rainbow

= from my TBR or already read

For the author challenge, use authors surnames to complete an acrostic poem style rainbow of ROYGBIV – you can only use surnames and no prefixes (eg. Vincent van Gogh could be used for a G, not a V). Any ‘writer’ is acceptable, for example, playwrights, poets and comic book/graphic novel authors).

Here is my rainbow, from rather recent reviews:

R – M.J. Rose, The Witch of Painted Sorrows (2015)je veux

O – Yoko Ogawa, The Housekeeper and The Professor (2009)

Y – Mingmei Yip, Tne Nine Fold Heaven (2013), and because our host had a hard time with the Y, here is another one!: Banana Yoshimoto, The Lake (2011)

G – C. W. Gortner, Mademoiselle Chanel (2015)

B – Tomas Bannerhed, The Ravens (2014)

I – Hamid Ismailov [Ismailov], The Dead Lake (2014)

V -Timur Vermes, Look Who’s Back (2015)
