Beat That Sentence Challenge *Bookcase Edition*

A few years back I gave myself a challenge to form a sentence using book titles. It was loads of fun and lots of people joined in. I've decided to bring it back with an added twist.

Instead of forming a sentence, the goal is to tell a story using all of the books on a single bookshelf. I intend to do a video for every bookshelf in the hopes of telling a full story. It won't be easy, but it will be fun.

If you would like to do this as well, the rules are simple.

  1. One point per book title.
  2. Must be physical books, no ebooks.
  3. Use your shelves as is. Not being able to add and remove books is part of the challenge!
  4. Post your bookshelf story in your video's description or on your blog.
  5. Please link back to my video. It's not required, but credit is much appreciated :)

My Bookshelf Story:
Punished with the TIGER'S CURSE, the CLOCKWORK ANGEL was told she must leave the CITY OF GLASS and begin the TIGER'S QUEST. First she met ABRAHAM LINCOLN, VAMPIRE HUNTER, during the DAYS OF BLOOD AND STARLIGHT. He told her that she must find two companions MATCHED in both strength and intelligence. So, she traveled ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, searching the CITY OF BONES and the CITY OF ASHES until she found the DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE, who was known as THE BEAUTY for her fierce intelligence. Hearing the FIRST RIDER'S CALL, the duo was led to the CITY OF FALLEN ANGELS where they were joined by the GREEN RIDER, who was known as THE BEAST for her strength. But when they finally entered the HIGH KING'S TOMB, they realized that to finish the TIGER'S VOYAGE, a sacrifice would have to be made. Accepting this, the Angel CROSSED through the BLACKVEIL, and thus began THE BANE CHRONICLES.
TOTAL: 21 books

JOIN THE HUNT

Our massive young adult scavenger hunt is OPEN – this is a chance to meet some new authors, grab a bunch of free books, and sign up to win a whole bunch of epic prizes! In addition to the $500 grand prize, each of the authors will be offering free books and other prizes.

HOW TO PLAY 

Each author will be given a special keyword, which will be bolded and all caps like this: BUTTERFLIES.

All you have to do is visit all the author’s sites in this order, write down the special keywords to discover the short story, then enter the giveaway with the completed secret legend here:


There will be one main giveaway for the main prize, but most of the participating authors will also have smaller giveaways for free books, amazon credit and author swag, so make sure you read their post carefully to see what else they’re offering while you’re on their site for the keyword.

NOTE: some of these will be easy to find, some of them are harder. If you get stuck, click on the “blog” and look for the most recent post, then try to find the word that looks different or out of place – it should be bolded and in all caps.

DEADLINE = JUNE 7TH 

Just go through the “treasure map” above to find the keywords and reconstruct the secret legend. Once you’ve got it, enter for the grand prize HERE.
