As we start a new RWL Reading Challenge, we are starting a new pattern of monthly themes…colors! Each month, I’ll select a color that I connect with that month and try to choose books who meet both our weekly themes and these color choices.
When I think about January, I immediately think of cold weather and snow…which make me think of white! You can take this part of the challenge two ways – covers in the color white, or books with white in the title.
Over the past few years, we’ve read a few books that fit with this theme. Here’s the ones that received full reviews on the site:
- Diana: Her true story – in her own words, Andrew Morton
- Gung Ho!, Ken Blanchard & Sheldon Bowles
- Prep, Curtis Sittenfeld
- Size 12 is Not Fat, Meg Cabot
- Spheres of Influence, Brad Englert
- Start With Why, Simon Sinek
- The Greatest Generation Speaks, Tom Brokaw
- The Twelve Topsy-Turvy, Very Messy Days of Christmas, James Patterson & Tad Safran
- Welcome to Temptation, Jennifer Cruise
- Wild, Cheryl Strayed
- You Matter, Matthew Emerzian
- 1916, Morgan Llywelyn

What books would you add to this list?
Our playlist this month features songs with white in the title and also from “white” albums. I also looked for titles featuring “white” in other languages like blanco (Spanish), hvid (Danish), and biely (Slovak). I am aiming to keep our playlists around 90 minutes this year – I usually read in 60-minute blocks, but there’s always those books that keep me wanting one more chapter, so I’m going a little longer in case you find yourself in the same situation!
