BOOK HUNT

The world had gone digital. Twitter and websites littered the land and destroyed attention spans everywhere. Most people seemed content to let the tyranny of TV and the internet conquer. But some resisted. They wanted beauty and form, prose and poetry. YouTube and Facebook did not fulfill their lust for meaning and fantasy. And from around the world these people congregated and began to gather. They built a library, and hid the way to the library. Members from around the globe joined up. They unearthed clues buried under the ether, footprints in the sand and etched on the mountainsides. Only some of them found the entrance, for it was hidden with guile. In the crook of a mirage, the light of an eclipse and the seed of a mushroom stalk. To enter, they had to let go of their old forms. For this entrance admitted not bears or huge giants or intelligent men. It was small enough to only admit mice. Small, furry, with long tails and tiny noses. And so mice they became, and shared and read books.

9 years later, they found out about a curse that plagued their library.. If allowed unchecked, it would destroy their book collection and all their efforts. They looked high and low for a solution. They then found 9 riddles scribbled on a wall. Each clue would lead to the name of a certain book. Only when all 9 book names were collected, could they defuse the curse and free the library. Now, it is up to you mice to decipher the clues and save the world of books...


HOW IT WORKS

BOOK HUNT will run for three days starting on 2017-12-19 00:00:00 UTC At that time your 1st book clue will appear at the bottom of this page. BOOK HUNT ends on 2017-12-22 23:59:59 UTC. Books must be located in the order presented. When you click on the correct book, (Ebook or Audio Book) a pop up will appear on the download page saying you have found book 1.

Continue on this way for all 9 books. When you find book 9 you will be automatically time stamp recorded. The first 9 members to complete the Hunt will win awards and bragging rights.
