I know its a little cliched, but St. Paddy's (Patty's) is my favorite March tradition. I thought we'd have a little fun with that. And even though I'm too old for it, my friends and I go on a huge bar crawl every year. And I feel a little green the next day...

The Green Challenge
The goal of this challenge is to see how many different green categories you can find. THE CATCH is that you CANNOT reuse categories. You can choose as many or as few as you want, or make up some of your own. Be as creative as you want!!

Here are some examples
~GREEN Cover
~GREEN in the Title
~GREEN is part of the Author's Name
~GREEN is a Character's Name (can use alternate green words Jade, Emerald etc)
~GREEN is part of the Series name
~GREEN is a part of the Publisher's name
~Character has GREEN Eyes
~Character IS GREEN (Hulk, mermaid, fae OR is newbie/virgin)
~Character is GREEN with envy
~Character has lots of GREEN (money)
~Character drinks too much and is GREEN the next day (or maybe that's just me)
~Going GREEN (read and ebook or audiobook)
~GREEN thumb (gardens, meadow)
~Setting can be in GREEN land/ville/berg/town
~GREEN reader- New series/author

Feel free to use these examples or to come up with one of your own! Again you CANNOT reuse a category.

Standard other challenge guidelines apply.

Sounds fun, in!

I'm not sure how many I can find but I'm game to try.

01. GREEN Cover: Night Broken by Patricia Briggs
02. GREEN in the Title:
03. GREEN is part of the Author's Name: The Man With the Golden Torc by Simon R. Green
04. GREEN is a Character's Name:
05. GREEN Eyes: (Ethan Sullivan) in Wild Things by Chloe Neill
06. GREEN character(Hulk, mermaid, fae...):
07. GREEN with envy:
08. Lots of GREEN:
09. GREEN after an all-night bender:

Again, feel free to make up any categories or alter some
maybe you can say Character on the cover has green eyes- which is different from a green cover.

BE CREATIVE

I'm sure that I'll find something. :)

has some green characters

Does the fae characters needs to be green or simply being in tune with nature? I was thinking maybe the psy-changeling series from Nalini Singh because the shifters are very environment friendly with greener technology and such...would it work?

Being in tune with nature sounds pretty green to me!


Oh! GREEN thumb could be another category.

:D Great job, Ashley! Always good to make us work for it.

I like Val's idea of green thinking or green tech. Maybe also eBooks, since it's a type of "green buying"?

Or maybe a character named JADE - since it's a shade of green? (Suggestion: Jade Calhoun series by Deanna Chase - Haunted on Bourbon Street) Or Author JADE Lee?

Maybe settings in a country with GREEN in their flag? Examples: Italy, Brazil, Ireland, India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Libya, Nigeria, and Pakistan.

"GREEN-eyed monster" - someone who's jealous?


I have a book library app that let's me search many different ways. Here are some GREEN suggestions I found, if anyone's interested.

There are some series with GREEN in them, like ...
GREEN Pines by Moira Rogers (First book: Haunted Sanctuary)
GREEN Universe by Jay Lake (First book: Green)
GREEN Angel by Alice Hoffman (First book: Green Angel

Authors:
Simon R. Green (Nightside & Secret Histories series)
Chris Marie Green (Vampire Babylon series)
Anne Greenwood Brown (Lies Beneath)
Lisa Gail Green (The Binding Stone)
Kris Greene (The Dark Storm)
Tilly Greene (Dragon Lust)
Amy Butler Greenfield (Chantress)

Publisher: (GREENwillow - imprint of HarperCollins)
(Some series - first book shown)


GREEN eyes (in book's summary):

a green/newbie character -- whether a virgin or just newly a vampire, new job, ...

Good one!
