I saw this tag on my favorite booktube, TheBookTuber and I thought it’s fun so I gave it a try! What’s this tag about anyway? Okay, so there will be a list of books you’ll need to find or hunt. Yeah. That’s it. Let’s start!
Find an author’s name or title with the letter Z in it
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
This is the first book I saw with “Z” on its title.
Find a classic
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Much Ado About Nothing and The Merchant of Venice all by William Shakespeare
I picked these books because… Shakespeare.
This is a hard one. I didn’t find any. I’ve spent like 20 minutes looking for it, but nah.
Find something on your bookshelf that’s not a book
The guardians of my Julie Kagawa collection!
Find the oldest book on your shelf
Animal Lore of Shakespeare’s Time by E. Phipson
Not really sure if this one means oldest book I own or oldest published book. But I picked the oldest published book. It says that this edition was printed in 1883. So old!
Find a book with a girl on the cover
The One by Kiera Cass
I have a girl crush on this mode that’s why I chose this. lol. Her name is Audrey Hollister.
Find a book that has an animal in it
Going Bovine by Libba Bray
Is that a goat or a cow? I don’t know. It’s kinda creepy.
Find a book with a male protagonist
Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
Yeah! The boy who lived! But why The Goblet of Fire of all Harry Potter books? Because it’s color blue. ♥
Find a book with only words on it
Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
I love this book!
Find a book with illustrations in it
Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden Vol. 8 by Yuu Watase
This is considered as an illustration book right? Manga? I should have chosen The Hobbit because there’s a map illustration in there but I thought why not a real illustration book since I have some. So there.
Find a book with gold lettering
Graceling by Kristin Cashore
Find a diary (true or fictional)
My 2014 planner/journal
Okay, this one’s real. Haha

I’m not really sure. Carrie and Ryan are common names right? Well…
Find a book that has a closeup of something on it

It’s actually a face with a book.
Find a book on your shelf that takes place in the earliest time period

This is set in late nineteenth century.
