CHALLENGE: What's in a Name?

Annie is hosting a challenge for next year, with some pretty neat parameters. I had fun picking out books to fit the categories, and since it is OK to overlap books with other challenges, and it lasts all year, I think I can do this.

The Challenge: Choose one book from each of the following categories.

1. A book with a color in its title.
