It has been a while since I have done a tag. And, this one, the Bookshelf Scavenger Tag, is going to be great for us to get to know what books I have.

1. Find an author’s name or title with the letter Z in it 

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

2. Find a classic

The Complete Pelican Shakespeare

3. Find a book with a key on the cover

BitterBlue by Kristin Cashore

4. Find something on your bookshelf that’s not a book
 I mostly have little trinkets. Little dolls that I adore. Some perfumes.
5. Find the oldest book on your shelf

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (1811).

6. Find a book with a girl on the cover 
Waistcoats and Weaponry by Gail Carriger
7. Find a book with a boy on the cover

The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett

8. Find a book that has an animal in it 

The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare (Clockwork Angel). 

Got to show Church some love.

9. Find a book with a male protagonist

I haven’t read this one yet, but: The Knife of Never Letting Go 

10. Find a book with only words on it 

Will Grayson, Will Grayson 

11. Find a book with illustrations in it

The Girl Who Raced Fairyland All the Way Home by Cathrynne M. Valente

12. Find a book with gold lettering

Wayfarer by Alexandra Bracken

13. Find a diary (true or false)

Harry Potter and the  Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling is the only one that comes to mind.

14. Find a book written by someone with a common name (like Smith)

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray

15. Find a book that has a close up of something on it

19. Find a book with stars on it

These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

20. Find a non YA book

 

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. This is such a different read for me, because I didn’t start out liking it in college. And, now, I am wondering if I will like it. Rather curious to see if it will offend me as a person with mental illness.

21. Find the longest book you own 

Aside from the Shakespeare collected works, I think A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson (the final book in the Wheel of Time series). 900 pages.

22. Find the shortest book you own

Prince Caspian by CS Lewis, probably

23. Find a book with multiple PoVs

 

I suspect Falling Kingdoms series will be one of those.

24. Find a shiny book

    1. Hi Jenn,
      I am rather lazy, so I did a lot of Googling to check if the book I had in mind fit the prompt. I know what books I have, but I haven’t read them all. So, Google helps. It didn’t take long.

  1. I must play this game! Even if I never post it, I MUST achieve this goal. But actually no, I am going to post it because it will give me something to post when I am out of ideas 😉 Also, please read The Knife of Never Letting Go. You can thank me later 😀 Thanks for sharing this, I love it!
