Bookshelf Scavenger Hunt Tag - History Book Reads Edition


I'm creating my own Bookshelf Scavenger Hunt tag! For the 10 prompts without my answers, please refer to the end of this post. I hope you enjoy today's post!

Your Longest Book
Grant by Ron Chernow is 959 pages, not including the bibliography and index

Your Shortest Book
Japanese Fairy Tales Volume 4 by Keisuke Nishimoto is 30 pages. (I only have Volume 4 of this and I have no idea why . . . lol).

A Book That's 500+ Pages
Helen of Troy by Margaret George is 638 pages, not including the afterword or the 1st chapter of Confessions of Young Nero.

A Book that's 100 Pages or Less
Japanese Fairy Tales Volume 4 by Keisuke Nishimoto (30 pages, mentioned and linked above).

A Book from Your Childhood - Share Your Memories of the Book
Japanese Children's Favorite Stories, compiled by Florence Sakade. I would read theses stories all the time at my dad's apartment, and these stories just make me happy.


A Book You're Nervous About Reading (if you've already read it, you can still mention it)
Helen of Troy by Margaret George (linked above). You can see the posts I did on the book before and after I read it at the following link: Pre-Reading Thoughts on Margaret George's "Helen of Troy" and My Post-Reading Thoughts on Margaret George's "Helen of Troy" (Semi-Spoiler Free!).

A Book that Helps You Through A Reading Slump

A Book that You Have 2+ Copies Of (Physical or Otherwise)
I have quite a few audiobook versions of my physical books. The first physical book that I have 2 copies of that came to mind was The Wars of the Roses by Dan Jones. I also have the hardcover, which is called The Hollow Crown.

A Book You Bought Based on the Cover
The Canterbury Classics edition of The Arabian Nights, translated by Sir Richard Burton. The cover of this edition is so pretty.
