Do you think this is orange enough?

IMO, it could go for yellow or orange. I'm not really sweating about how much a color looks like what for this challenge. If I think a book looks more green than blue, I'm using it for green. This challenge is supposed to be fun, not stressful.

I'm in I am now going to scout my bookshelves!

Sallie I love your ticker counter...good idea

I'm in I've got to go look at my books, I'm sure I'll no problem as I have my books I want to read all arranged in my bookcase so I can see most of the bindings.

I didn't do so great on the last challenge as I had to do a lot of overtime at work. But unfortunately or fortunately overtime has been cut.

Fortunately, because that means more time to read. Unfortunately, because that means less money to buy books. Is that what you meant Joyce? (And yeah, I'm missing over-time since my hubby retired.)
