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: 7 | Shelf Number: 5 | Book Number: 9
Nosferatu by Gherbod Fleming
Two months in a row, my random number generator led me to a book I hadn’t read. That said, there’s a pretty cool story behind this entire collection. Nosferatu is part of a series called Vampire: The Masquerade: Clan Novels. It’s part of a larger world use for tabletop RPGs (White Wolf).
This is notable because (nerd alert) this is the game my group plays. Not this version, but you get what I mean. This series is actually out of print, so it took me ages (absolute ages) to track down every single book.
I keep meaning to work my way through the series, but somehow, I’ve been sitting at two read for…well…I’d rather not state how long I’ve been meaning to read the series. It’s bad.
