Every year Pantone, the arbiter of color, declares a color of the year. The 2011 color is honeysuckle, a rather pretty pink. But owning a fashionably colored honeysuckle book is somewhat difficult. Out of the thousands of books in the book barn, I found exactly fourteen with a smidgen or more of what might be honeysuckle. Upon closer observation, I’m not sure if any of them actually are honeysuckle, so I’ve included the Pantone swatch for you to decide.

I think the book that has the truest bit of honeysuckle is that great literary novel Dead End Dating:) What do you think?
Whether they’re honeysuckle or not, they are really pretty, if you like pink.
Enjoy,

i LOVE the honeysuckle. I’ve never arranged my books by color, but this is tempting me to give it a try. I agree that Dead End Dating is the closest match
