Happy Monday, bookworms! Today I'm doing a tag that I found over at Erica Robyn Reads. This tag was originally created on Booktube by Keeping Tabs. I loved scavenger hunts as a teenager, but didn't get to participate in nearly enough of them. I'm super excited to do one in my own home library! I won't be tagging people at the end, so tag yourself if you want to play!
THE RULES
Time yourself trying to find each prompt on your shelf.
Try and beat the time of the person who challenged you.
Don’t forget to tag your challenger and the original creator.

MY SCAVENGER HUNT RESULTS
I had books to fill every question except one. I feel like I did a pretty good job! This took me just over 20 minutes to complete, which isn't horrible but I didn't beat the time of the person I stole the tag from! Oh well, better luck next time.
