Happy Friday, bibliophiles! I hope today finds you all safe, healthy, and in good spirits.
I found this tag over at Words and Stitches, and the tag was originally created by Keeping Tabs on Booktube. It sounded like a super fun tag, and I’m excited to participate!
Rules
1. Time yourself trying to find each prompt on your shelf
2. Try and beat the time of the person who challenged you.
3. Don’t forget to tag your challenger and the original creator!
4. Have fun!

2 maps? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that (or maybe I have & this is just my terrible memory) what were they?

It’s definitely not just you, I think The Kingdom of Back might have been one of the only books that I’ve seen that has 2 maps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ TKoB has a map of the Mozart’s European tour at the front, and a map of The Kingdom of Back itself on the back. They’re both really pretty 🙂
