Today is my first day back from visiting family in Columbus and I’m feeling a little out of sorts so I’m doing The Super Easy Rainbow Book Tag! This tag was created by Jo Linsdell and I saw it on Books Are 42 If you aren’t following either of them already you really should because they are really great bloggers.
The Rules:
1. Give credit to the creator Jo Linsdell, with a link back to their post.
2. Books must be from your bookshelves. Electronic books are fine to include but you must own a copy.
3) Have fun and tag some people to do it.
How it Works:
Pick a book from your collection where the chosen color dominates the cover. So one book for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.
RED
