It's been a while since we did a 'tag' style post, September 2020 to be exact. Check out that last one here, The Guilty Reader Book Tag. This post is something that's been in our drafts for a long time, then it was partially done and left in the drafts for even longer. Finally, I'm getting around to completing it and it's shown that these so-called 'quick little tag' filler posts do actually take more time than you think.
This is a Scavenger Hunt of our Bookcase(s)!

Some categories were much easier than others, some were difficult to decide between because we had multiple options and some we either didn't have any or had to slightly double up on authors we'd already used previously. I think despite the vast array of categories, this definitely gives a great insight into our tastes and what is houses over our five bookcases.
