Welcome back to Book Break! Today we are doing another
book challenge, this is the 'do I have that
other book?' challenge, created by the amazing booktuber Keeping Tabs. I will
link to her channel and her original video below.
So this is actually round two. A while back,
Keeping Tabs created the original 'do I have that book' challenge,
where she had a whole list of prompts that you had to race against the clock
to find on your bookshelf, and we actually did
this challenge a few months ago so I'll link to that as well.
But now she's back, and we're back, with round two:
do I have that other book? So the last time around I did this,
I did not manage to beat Keeping Tabs' score,
so this time I'm determined I'm gonna go faster.
Her score was 20 minutes 14 seconds, I am determined to beat it,
and we would also love you guys to play along as well. So if you want to do this,
pause the video now, go into the description box to find
all of the challenges, do it yourself, film it, we would love to see your
results, or just do it yourself for fun, and then come back and watch this video
and see how your score matches up. And we would love to know
if you guys beat me. I'm feeling fast today, I think I can do this.
So I'm ready, I've got my timer here, and go! The first challenge is do you have a
book with a fox on the cover, or part of the plot?
I know I have a book with the word fox, where is it, where is it, where is it?
Mr Fox, does that count as the word fox on the cover? Do you have a book that was
published the year you were born or within a three-year
radius? I know one that was published the year I was born.
This book was number one in the New York Times bestseller list on the day
I was born, the exact day, so I'm assuming it was published. . . It was published the
year before, but that still counts, that's within three years.
Do you have a book with music as a weapon or magic?
Oh my god, that's hard. Music as a weapon or magic. In Ella Enchanted I'm pretty
certain she sings to enchant the ogres or something at one
point. Or they sing to enchant her? Music I'm sure is used. Do you have a
series with mismatched covers? I do! This is my Princess Diaries series,
they're all mismatched, I've got four from one series, one from another,
five from another, I absolutely love this series though. Do you have a book with a
shape shifter? Um I do, oh it's on my desk, it's here.
Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl and in this, the main character
can change their body and gender at will. Do you have a book signed by the author?
Yes, um, oh what did I get signed? Oh I know!
The Harpy. Megan Hunter, the author, came into the office
and signed it for me. Do you have a book with a mostly red
cover? Red, red, red, that's mostly red right? Do you have a book between
287 and 306 pages? That is so specific. 287 to 306.
Way too long. Way too short. Way too long. Why am I so bad at guessing?
Oh my god, it's exactly 306, exactly 306. Do you have a book with a main
character who wears glasses? Yes, in The Series of Unfortunate Events,
Klaus, he's one of the main siblings, he wears glasses.
Do you have a book with a title that has the same number of letters as your first
name? So that's four letters in Emma, I know
exactly what to pick, Emma has exactly the same letters as my name!
Do you have a book with cyber crime or technology as a plot point?
Recursion by Blake Crouch. This is a thriller all about technology
being used in sinister ways. Do you have a book written in another language
translated to english? Yes. Quite a few. For example, this one, Before the Coffee
Gets Cold, one of my favourites. Do you have a book
with a moon on the cover? A moon, um,
is that the moon or the sun? I'm gonna say it's the moon. Do you have an
illustrated children's book? Children's, children's,
here you go, this is a children's book of greek myths with lots of lovely pictures.
Do you have a collection of fairy tales or myths, is literally the next question.
I guess I can't use the same one, or can I? OK well just in case I can't use the
same one, this isn't a collection it's a novel, but
it is like, it's got a collection of greek myths that I know all entwined in
it. Do you have a sci-fi or fantasy with an alliance between races?
Oh that's hard, because i don't really have any sci-fi fantasy.
Um I'm gonna just say no I don't think I have that. I don't have very much sci-fi
at all. Do you have a book with a narrow front
cover, with a front cover that is slightly trimmed
shorter or narrower than the rest of the book? Oh
way to make it impossible! Do I have that? I can picture what she means, I've
definitely seen books like that, but I don't think I own one.
OK again we're saying no to that. Do you have a book that includes the first
chapter of the sequel? Yes okay, what would have that? Um,
I don't have that many things with sequels at all. Yes,
yes, okay this is Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
Here, turn the page for a preview of Hollow City. Okay and last one,
do you have a book with a broken spine? Yeah I always break my spines. Here we go,
The Time Traveler's Wife, one of my most reread books,
very very broken spine. And time! I need to stop the time.
Nine minutes 30 seconds. I did it, I beat Keeping Tabs! Even though I didn't
get all of the prompts, but i'm feeling pretty happy with that.
Even though I didn't quite get everything, two of those were really hard.
I literally can't pick them all up. This isn't even all of them because it
doesn't include the whole Princess Diaries series.
These are the books that ticked off the prompts, all the ones that I could find,
and that was a lot of fun. And I am very warm now. So I would love
to see your guys's attempts if you do this video.
