I saw this post when Bev tweeted about it the other day. I loved the idea and decided to go ahead and steal borrow it.
It’s a book scavenger hunt. Basically, she listed 19 categories and looked through her bookshelf to find one that matches. As for me, I just got rid of a bunch of books but added a ton to my Kindle so my finds were from both. Maybe it’s cheating, maybe it’s not. I don’t fully understand the rules so I’m going with what I feel.
Here are the categories:
- A title that starts with N
- A cover that’s mostly brown
- A book based on a true story
- A book with multiple perspectives
- A book you read last year
- The book you bought most recently
- A cover you don’t like
- A retelling
- A book that’s also a movie
- A book written this year (I’m reinterpreting to published this year)
- A nonfiction book
- A book you’ve told others to read
- A book with a tree on the cover
- A book with an author who has the same name as you
- A book you’ve read more than once
- A book you didn’t finish
- A book with a king in it
- A book that’s purple without the dust cover on it (weird. This one is just weird)
- A book you’ll read by the end of the year
However, I’m fairly lazy and the idea of inserting 19 pictures into one post makes me kind of nauseous so instead, I’m sharing my picks over on Instagram (one a day so as not to overwhelm everyone). Follow along or join in!
Also, if you have any other categories you’d like me to look for in my scavenger hunt, let me know!

Oh, I’m going to do this! I’m still not on Instagram. I keep telling myself to join but lazy. ๐ I have fewer physical books these days, which makes me a bit sad. On the flip side, I don’t have to give away a book that I really don’t want to because I don’t have space either. ๐

This seems fun. I’d be stumped on the same name prompt. I don’t think I have any books on my shelves (or in my Kindle) written by an Audrey… I DEFINITELY know there aren’t any authors on my shelves with my last name. Haha.
Also… I call it a book jacket, not a dust cover. That prompt IS quite weird.

Hmm. Do I know Bev?

This is a cool way to do it. I’m not on Instagram so blog post it had to be ๐
I have no idea of the official rules but I say Kindle counts!

What a fun idea! Definitely doing this. I already know that I don’t have a book for some of these categories, so I’m going to borrow a few prompts from her earlier post.
