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: 6 | Book Number: 23
Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar
Hah! I love it when my random number generator leads me to one of my favorite special editions. Admittedly, while I enjoyed this book, I think I love the cover more. Then again, you really can’t beat sparkly and purple, can you?
“She was nothing but the words of a story, one tale weaving imperceptibly into the next. She was the loom that wove the tapestry. She was the tapestry that joined all things.”
There’s a funny story (for me) behind this book. Star Daughter marks the first duplicate I ever accidentally purchased. I had ordered it through BOTM before I realized it was also an OwlCrate pick. I’ve since learned to watch for OC spoilers to avoid this happening.
