A Million More Pages - Summer Games

Summer Games hosted by A Million More Pages on Goodreads.

I have joined this challenge with 4 others from the Rawk group. As I am not in a cabin for A Million More Pages cAMMP, I have been added to the Gypsy Caravan.
I have to read 3 books for this challenge.

1 month team challenge (5 person teams)
*Each team member will read 3 books to complete the challenge, with all 15 categories read to lead your team to victory.
Choose your Color:
1. The five rings (circles) on the Olympic flag are interlocking on a white background.
The white background symbolizes peace.
The colors of red, blue, green, yellow, and black were chosen because each nation has at least one of these colors in its national flag.
Challenge: Each team completes the colors of the flag, with one team member reading a book with a cover matching one of the rings: red, blue, green, yellow, and black. *Color of cover must be at least 50% to qualify - must post cover in completion post.
Fire at Twilight by Lila Ashe (Blue cover)

Choose your Location:
2. The 5 rings represent the five major land areas of the world. The five interlocking rings represent the continents of Africa, Australia, Europe, The Americas, and Asia.
The rings are interlocked to show friendship among the nations.
Challenge: Each team travels the globe, with one team member reading a book set in each of the five major land areas: Africa, Australia, Europe, The Americas, and Asia. *Must post each location read in completion post.
The Diving Pool: Three Novellas by Yoko Ogawa (set in Japan)

The modern pentathlon is an Olympic sport that comprises five events: fencing, 200 m. freestyle swimming, show jumping, and a final combined event of pistol shooting and a 3200 m. cross-country run. The sport has been a core sport of the Olympic Games since 1912, and since 1949 an annual World Championship has been held.
