I love the idea of this book tag: The Bookshelf Scavenger Hunt Tag.

It was actually a tad difficult at some points, and I really had to think about it. I first saw this tag on GoWithFlick’s channel on YouTube, and she had so handily put all the items to be found in a list in her description.

There were some of these that I knew straight away, and could grab them like that *snaps fingers*, but then there were some where I literally had to hunt my entire house. I ended up borrowing a book or two from my sister too, but shhh. Don’t tell her. Anyway, let’s get into it.

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

Maze Runner, by James Dashner

2. Find a classic

3. Find a book with a key on the cover

4. Find something on your bookshelf that is not a book

5. Find the oldest book on your shelf

Pilgrim’s Progress. 1826 original print, this copy isn’t that old, but it’s still probably the oldest on my shelf.
