Some people really do have the best ideas and when the bandwagon starts, I just have to jump on whether or not I am tagged by this or not. I have done the bookshelf scavenger hunt tag a few years ago but this one is a bit different. Not just the prompts but also the time restraint! I am obviously doing this with my own shelf and not goodreads haha.
The Challenge
Find a book that contains (either on the cover or in the title) an example for each category. You must have a separate book for all 20, get as creative as you want and do it within five minutes!!

Well after 5 minutes I had done 12 so I failed. Booo. Honestly, the first minute I stared at my bookshelves and drew such a blank. Haha. Nerves for a book tag/challenge.
I challenge…
Zwartraafje / Zon en Maan / Howling Libraries
…and wish you luck!
Please remember to vote on the poll which book I should read for the Make Me Read It read-a-thon in August here. I’ll be closing the poll on August 1st.
Great tag and you made some lovely choices!

This is awesome! Your bookstagram aesthetic has really solidified over the last few months. I’m glad you got into it. I love these photos. I haven’t read most of these books (!!!). Which are your favorites? Also, stupid stickers… I always try to avoid getting books with stickers on them for that reason. I’ve ruined many a cover accidentally.

Thanks. I just snapped them at random for this tag haha.
I’d say Written in Red, Defy the Stars, The Shephard’s Crown and The 5th Season. 😀
I also hate the ones that have been printed one. I have been known to keep trying to get it off only to get pointed out that it was printed on by husband haha.

I think you did great! I’m pretty sure I would have sat there the entire 5 minutes and drawn a blank, lol.

Haha it is weird right? Like we look at our books so much and then we get these prompts. And it is like: What books? I don’t know anything.

Deze is echt leuk maar ik moet wel eens even nakijken of ik hem al niet eens heb gedaan. Ik herinner me alleszins een tag waarbij je boeken moest uitzoeken op basis van bepaalde omschrijvingen of elementen. Hij lijkt me echter wel super tof vermits ik dan weer een reden heb om in mijn boekenkasten rond te snuisteren. 😉

Ja dat had ik ook maar dat bleek dan toch weer een andere te zijn.
Dat is ook waarom ik hem had gedaan. 😉
