Bookshelf Scavenger Hunt

Image
I was watching a video from SophiesSeries on Youtube called Bookshelf Scavenger Hunt and thought it was cool. There's no pressure with time limits or no point system, the only obligation is to find the items. I decided to do the tag on my blog. I'll take a picture of the items together and list then next to the corresponding item down below. Let the game begin! Find an author's name or title with the letter Z in it:   I honestly thought I would have nothing for this one, but I did. It's The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan. Find a classic: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens Find a book with a key on it:   Would it count if I got a key and stuck it on top of a book? I originally was going to use a book off Wattpad called the Key of Kilenya, then got later in the challenge and found Into the Gauntlet by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Find something on your bookshelf that's not a book: My wand (Accio books!) Find the oldest book on your shelf: Err, yeah. This o...

" Led by Starfire, the Teen Titans – Beast Boy, Raven, Blue Beetle, Robin and the just-returned Nightwing – have built a cohesive team in their never-ending battle against evil; but their newest teammate, the mysterious and powerful Terra, may be altering that dynamic. Meanwhile, an ancient evil, Brother Blood, has awakened, and familiar foe Deathstroke is lurking in the shadows – both waiting to pounce. Ultimately, the Teen Titans will need to battle their enemies and their own doubts to unite and overcome the malicious forces around them in this twisting tale of intrigue, adventure and deception. "~DC movies wikia I was so hyped for this movie. After all, the trailer looked awesome! Nightwing is back on the team (I prefer the costume with the blue better). Damian was sufferable which says a lot considering his personality. (Or maybe it's just he's not my favorite character, but he has come a long way.) Starfire was great, though I feel a little story for her beca...
