I Spy Book Challenge

Published on by Margaret

I saw this on Cleopatra Loves Books blog and immediately wanted to do it too – after all I love lists as well as books. It’s not as easy as I hoped!

Find a book on your bookshelves that contains (either on the cover or in the title) an example for each category. You must have a separate book for all 20, get as creative as you want and do it within five minutes!! (or longer if you have way too many books on way too many overcrowded shelves!)

Links, where they exist, are to my posts on the books.

1. Food

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck – a TBR

2. Transportation

Girl on a Train by A J Waines – I haven’t read this yet, although I have read the ‘other’ book The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins.

  1. I like your choices very much, Margaret. I’m especially happy to see the Edwards, the Sansom, the Rankin, and, of course, the Christie. What a fun challenge!

  3. I loved this so yes, I will do it too as soon as I can, still a bit busy with grandchildren and Easter hols. But I don’t think it’ll be done in 5 minutes…

  5. I also saw this on Cleo’s blog and am working on a post. It’s so much fun. I was intrigued with your choices, especially the one or two I couldn’t find in my first five-minute round in my stacks. This was delightful to read!
