For example, when I think about Forever Friday, a violet shade comes to mind. Somewhere in this range:

I have no idea why. There's nothing purple about the novel. It's just the color I associate with it.
When I think about my new Russian novel, Needle's Eye, I see black and red. "High Risk Red," apparently.

The dystopian/sci-fi book I was working on was a blue-y yellow-y green-y color that I can only call "Afghan Girl." You know, as in the eyes of girl in the famous National Geographic photo.

So someone out there, please tell me you're as weird as I am. Otherwise I'll have to keep this kind of crazy to myself.

I've never done this before, but I have to say I love it! I thought about colors I'd like on a book cover, but not in quite the same way you're associating colors with books. I think it's another great avenue to explore creative wise. Don't keep this type of crazy to yourself, it's great.
Thank you for making me feel ever-so-slightly less crazy :)
I love hearing about other people's craziness! Makes me feel a little more normal. ;) Seeing your books as colors is pretty nifty, it's like you can see their auras. :)
Not gonna lie, Mar - this is weird. Maybe you have synesthesia?
