Over the years I’ve seen a game bouncing back and forth between book bloggers and vloggers called On My Shelf. The core concept is pretty simple: number each book on your shelf, and then have fellow readers pick a number at random. You are then to write about that correlating book – you can write about anything related to this book – the story behind it, why you bought it, what you loved about it, etc.
All credit to Iain Broome, whom I’m fairly certain is the original creator of this super fun game. Or at least the first one I saw doing this. However, I’m going to modify is slightly in my case. I’m going to use a random number generator as a way of choosing which book to write about.
Bookcase Number: 2 | Shelf Number: 5 | Book Number: 2
Under the Whispering Door
“It’s never enough, is it? Time. We always think we have so much of it, but when it really counts, we don’t have enough at all.”
Oh, yes! I’m so happy the randomizer picked these numbers! I loved Under the Whispering Door from the moment I first read it, and I know I’m not the only reader out there who feels that way. TJ Klune has a way of writing that gets under your skin and into your soul.
This copy of Under the Whispering Door is particularly loved (by me) as it is the anniversary edition I bought through B&N (I don’t remember if it is an exclusive or not, sorry). It and my copy of The House in the Cerulean Sea have sprayed edges, and I love them so much.
In truth, I was pretty torn about how to display Under the Whispering Door. I always feel torn when a book has pretty edges. Do I show the spine or those edges? I’ve flipped these ones back and forth a few times. You can clearly tell what my current mood is.
“Never forget where you come from, but don’t allow it to define you.”
