"I think it was blue"
This prompt is an ode to all the times we’ve forgotten the name of a book title, but “I think the cover was blue?”

This is a prompt that invites a wide range of interpretations and creativity. Here are a few ideas:

  • The word “blue” in the title
  • A blue spine
  • Blue cover
  • Book that “makes you feel blue” (an emotional read, book that makes you cry, etc)
  • Character or author with first or last name “Blue” (Bluey!)
  • Related to phrases or idioms with the word blue in it. Examples: Once in a blue moon, out of the blue, blue blood (aristocrat or nobility), blue collar, blue in the face, black and blue, bleeds blue, etc.
  • A book that you can’t remember the title of (Feel free to ask for help in the Facebook group! We’ll help you solve it!)
  • Ask a librarian for a blue cover recommendation
