This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from That Artsy Reader Girl took me a little while. Our assignment: to share book titles that might make good crayon colors:
- The Wonderful O (James Thurber): A bright orange, the color of the first citrus of the winter season
- Sucking Eggs (Patricia Nicol): Venom green
- Rancid Pansies (James Hamilton-Paterson): Greyish blue-purple
- The Vinyl Princess (Yvonne Prinz): Sparkly black
- Last Days of Summer (Steve Kluger): Cornflower blue
- Dandelion Wine (Ray Bradbury): A pale, clear yellow
- Canary (Rachele Alpine): Chartreuse
- Vintage Attraction (Charles Blackstone): Dark plum
- A Darker Shade of Magic (V.E. Schwab): Dark blood red
- The Starless Sea (Erin Morgenstern): Dark midnight blue
How about you? Can you think of any book titles that should be a crayon name?
Rancid Pansies is such a fun answer!

Comment by Lydia 04.13.21 @ 6:11 amA Darker Shade of Magic would definitely have to be one of the Londons colours! I can picture a whole set of crayons, one for each London 🙂

Rancid pansies! I love it! I’m imagining a purple that is almost brown.

Comment by Mareli @ Elza Reads 04.13.21 @ 12:23 pmRancid pansies is a hilarious one! It also sounds like a heavy metal band name.
Happy TTT!

Ooh, The Starless Sea is such a good idea! And I love Dandelion Wine, too.
P.S. I actually really enjoyed The Vinyl Princess as a book, so it’s cool to see it on your list.
