I saw this idea on Facebook, because one of my author-friends posted it. I thought it was neat and wanted to bring it to you, but I can’t find the original post, so I made my own. Click the image to enlarge.
What’s Your Color?

Yellow, that way I could read the kate daniels and hidden legacy again for the first time…all the joy of visiting the worlds without the danger…and with no wait between books too…heaven
Teal. How about a “One-A-Day” program? Select your favorite subset of pills and rotate through them. Indigo is obviously a one-timer.
Magenta. 100% magenta. My husband is a wonderful man and he will find someone great. Lol!
I would not choose any of them. It is probably my weird way of reading, but here’s why:
Teal – How could I choose one character? There are so many I would like to have followed farther.
Orange – I have never hated anyone enough to kill them. Be relieved that they’re dead, yes, but kill them, no.
Magenta – The ones I like to read about are not those I would care to live with.
Green – No, just not for me.
Indigo – I’m not the heroic type and I’d hate being a villain.
Purple – I wouldn’t know how.
Blue – I’m already doing that, in much more comfort. I’m lazy.
Red – The author has reasons for when, if, and how that happens. I’m not dumb enough to interfere.
Yellow – I read through books so fast the first time that I miss half the detail that makes me love them. Why would I want to start over?
Maybe mix all the contents of the pills into one big pill and become a new character for Ilona to use as a wild card lol
Definitely Blue! I want to go to Baha Char sooooo bad!
Honestly… one of the hardest choices I have ever made… I was torn between three, but in the end… Yellow is the one for me! ((Mostly because if I took Indigo I would probably make some sort of weird mistake and promptly die in my new world!))
The overall results track 100% on level of pill desirability for me!
If Yu Fong looks like this, definitely Indigo ????!!!!
I picked Blue because there are just way too many fictional worlds where I have “vacation homes”. I spend a week or two here, a week or two there…and I could never settle on just one. So, Blue for me. 😀
Isn’t the Blue Pill answer Just what we do every time we read a book?
Teal for Aunt B. Miss her a lot!
Most of the books I read tend to have fairly awful worlds. If I went into them as I am (a chubby nerd with few job skills, fewer people skills and no survival skills), I’d be dead in a week, probably horribly so. Also, most of the characters I like are way too good to be with me. So, that’s blue, indigo and magenta right out. I’m not big on shipping, sometimes but not super common. I’d want the orange pill to end some people, if only to prevent the damage and destruction they’ll cause. Especially the undercover or spy bad guys, where people trust them and think they’re friends right up until they get stabbed in the back.
That was hard. I really wanted Indigo or Blue but I chose Teal for Tris in the Divergent series. Her death really surprised and upset me. I have been very careful committing to characters in books I read since then.
I am resurrecting her to make my world right again!
Although, teal is a close second to orange for me. There are a lot of awesome people that died completely unfairly.
honestly, my very favorite would be a pill that lets you get an entire series without waiting on release dates. I don’t do well with waiting.
While it would be great to try blue, I am past the age where I’d have the most fun with that.(Hard to handle KD world with a walker!) So I think I’ll opt for yellow instead. A whole bottle of yellow pills so I can have the experience with all my favorites!
Can we add a Book Power?? We can become real life friends with any character from any world….
We need pill #10.
The power would be forcing the author (Pat Rothfuss, darn it!!!) to immediately finish writing a book. I know, I know. You can’t rush perfection *eyeroll*.
Although, I do have yellow by default, since I can’t remember anything. So there’s that.
Oh Blue for sure!
One of my favorite series is the Thursday Next one from Jasper Fforde. I could totally be the book detective, hopping in and out of worlds. Fun times!
If I was to hop into Kate’s world, I’d need a bit more martial arts training. Or maybe Kate would be my friendly backup if I brought home-made cinnamon rolls as bribes? Defenders of the world like cinnamon rolls, right? 🙂
Haha! Yellow, cause we are the re-readers and you are the chosen ones 🙂
Oh, I always loved skittles! Lol
Any color really except yellow. I love re-reads.
Add 3 more and you can offer a hypothetical pill of the month club Holiday gift.
bahahaha!!!! love it!
I think this depends too much on the fine print of these pills. What does “redeem” or “kill” or “ressurect” mean? Can you write the exact circumstances of the change like in Death Note? Or is it a terrible monkey’s paw type deal?
Would bringing a character to our world also grant them certain immunity? If someone brought Erra to our world would she just fall asleep because of very low magic?
Teal because I always wanted to resurrect the funny, nice best friend characters who died to show the big-bad was Big and Bad. That’s how I became an author lol.
Blue if its a permanent power 😀
Blue to visit Martha Wells’ murderbot universe (the non company planets) competent government and a cranky cyborg to trade media with.
If you want to mess with worlds then write fanfiction, I voted yellow, because when I re-read a favorite book or even a series, I always find something new that intrigues me. For instance, I read Lord of the Rings when I was twelve, when I read it again in my twenties, it meant something else. Now, in my much later years, I look forwards to reading it again with the “wisdom” of years.
I’ve had a similar experience. Except that I’ve read Return of the King more than 25 times (I stopped counting at 25). But still, same thing. It hits me differently each time. Makes it really fun to re-read certain books. I’m also in my later years, though I haven’t officially hit the “much” part yet, LOL! Guess that means I can re-read ROTK another few times (with any luck) before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
Happy Holidays from someone who enjoyed all your books during cocooning time (name of first lockdown) and then 2nd lockdown in Ireland. Thank you.
There are SOME characters though that scream out for me to take that orange pill…George R.R. Martin I’m looking at you.
I’d choose the Blue pills (yes, plural????). Then I keep imagining that someone will drug me with the yellow pill then trick me to consume the indigo pill saying it’s for my medicine..
I’d have to take magenta and pick Roarke from JD Robb’s In Death Series. He’s been my book crush since the 90s.
So very close except I went for blue cos I wanted to meet Peabody and Ian and Nadine and Mavis and Dr Mira and Mr Mira and … anyway … you get the idea 🙂
I’m disturbed (and slightly surprised given that I’m contrary) to find that in this group … I’m normal
so the blue pill is that a)one world one visit b)different worlds one time or c)same world multiple times?
I was torn between blue and teal. Sometimes I’m REALLY happy that I’m only visiting some of these worlds in a book and not for real. So Teal won, LOL!
But then, I could never use the teal pill, because my husband would really not be thrilled, LOL!
Teal! But I’m saving it for whoever is going to die in the second ‘Iron Covenant’ book 🙂
Nora I thought of that too! There was that ominous mention wasn’t there!
But I had to go with Aunt B because I think of her in different situations and make myself laugh. It would be much better from House Andrews!
Orange – because while I do like that our lead characters are good ones, sometimes “bad” is needed for them as well and being too good is actually not that good, thus some killing is needed for certain “evil/bad” characters and orange pill would help out with that for our leads.
#AuntB
I was leaning toward Orange, because, hey, violent nature is better expressed in fiction than IRL, right? But… YELLOW! Yellow! Sigh The idea that I can re-experience the fictional worlds for that first time over again? Nirvana!
I picked yellow definitely… I always reread my favorite books. To fall in love with them all over again.
