I saw this on a few different book blogs. I initially thought I would do this as a tag, but I then decided that I would just do this as a normal post.
Here are the "rules":
- Count your shelves - this will account for the first number (a shelf can be any space that has books, it does not have to be an actual bookshelf)
- Count the books on the shelves with the most books, and choose the highest number - this will be the second number
- Post to your Instagram story or Twitter, asking your followers to choose two numbers, the first for your shelves and the second for the books
- Once you have some submissions, go to that specific shelf of the first number, and then count the books until you get to the second number
- If you want, discuss the book a little - did you read it, why did you pick it up, when do you plan to read it, etc.
For example: if one of my submissions was 13, 11, then that book would be Europe and the Making of Modernity by Robin W. Winks. Here are some things I would mention: I have read it, it was a school-assigned reading for one of my university classes, I really enjoyed it, etc. (I do not plan to actually do this in this post, though.)
