Hooray, another challenge finished!
My books were:
Book with a colour in the title:

Book with an animal in the title:
Dear Sad Goat: a roundup of truly Canadian tales and letters compiled by Bill Richardson (3 stars)
Book with a first name in the title:
Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer (3.5 stars)
Book with a place in the title:
Looking for Alaska by John Green (4.5 stars)
Book with a weather event in the title:
Nights of Rain and Stars by Maeve Binchy (3.5 stars)
Book with a plant in the title:
Revenge of the Kudzu Debutantes by Cathy Holton (3.5 stars)
Favourite books:
I'd say entertainment-wise my favourite was Agnes and the Hitman - it was funny and sexy, had elements of both a thriller and a romance, and was a bit odd.
I rated Looking for Alaska the highest because it was very well-written and definitely deserved its Printz Award. It was a gripping, tragic story with just a bit of humour thrown in for balance.
I enjoyed all of the books, thankfully, so I don't have a least favourite.
Thanks to Annie/Debi for hosting - it was really fun to find books that fit the categories. Apparently there are already plans to do the challenge again next year and I'll be sure to sign up!
