Book Scavenger Hunt- Done on June 21st
The original video was made by Peter Monn on his Booktube channel Peter Likes Books.
This scavenger hunt is to help you find a book that you will be reading next. He says that you can do this in the library, a book store, or in your own house, though he recommends the library. I decided to do it in my room because I have hundreds of books that I need to read there. I would recommend watching his video to get a full explanation from him and also it is a great video.
Also it was a lot of fun to do!
Here is a link to his original video if you would like to check it out:
Rules/ Directions:
*You may not ask for help!
*You may have fun and take as long as you want!
*The prize is the book you end up with at the end!
1. Find your favorite book: My favorite book is The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. I could have used this but I decided to use The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald which is my second favorite book because of the next step.
2. Find another author who has either the same first or last name in their name as the author in #1. Pick any book by that author: So I do not own any books by another Audrey or Niffenger so I decided to go with F. Scott Fitzgerald for the first book. My second book is Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld.
3. Open that book and go to page 74. On the 3rd line down, pick out two words and find another book with those two words in the title: So on page 74 of Afterworlds the sentence goes: "The last word sent a trickle down my spine. Suddenly this all" As soon as I saw this I thought of one book, The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks.
4. Once you found that book, find another book with a similar context: For this I did not have a hard time thinking of the context and a book that would match it. I'm not going to spoil The Last Song for you here but a book with a similar context is Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson.
5. Upon finding that book, find a diverse book with a similar title: I had a hard time finding a book that would fit for this one and I almost switched out Second Chance Summer because of this but then I thought of the perfect book. The Second Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares. It has two words that are the same.
6. Pick a name of one of the main characters from that book and find another book that has that name in title: There are four main characters in this series: Carmen, Lena, Tibby, and Bridget. Again at first I could not think of any books with a character in the name and then I remembered Bridget Jones' Diary.
7. Open that book to any page and pick a word without looking. That is your word: My word is winter.
8. Go to your favorite section and find the first book you see that has you word in the title:
I have two books that I know of that have the word winter in them: Winter by Marissa Meyer and Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin. Winter is part of a four part series of books and I know that I will not have the time to read that before the end of the month. I decided to read Winter's Tale next. This is another large book so we will see what happens. The funny thing is that I have had this book for a long time and have been wanting to read it recentely.
9. You have found the book the universe is leading you to read!: Well I guess so. I cannot wait to read this book.
10. Buy or checkout your book.
If you decide to do this also comment down below what book you get. This would definitely be easier in the library but I did have a lot of fun going through my books.
