\nWe\u2019re sharing Name that book!<\/span><\/strong><\/a> images on Instagram over the next few weeks. Follow us at nashvillepubtv<\/a> to see how many books you can identify from the list of 100 titles on The Great American Read<\/a> list. We plan to post three images every Wednesday through early August and we\u2019ll post the answers the following week with the next round of images.<\/p>\n

The idea behind Name that book!<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is to create a fun way to remind people of favorite books they may have read years and years ago.<\/p>\n

To do this, I fill our Great American Read<\/strong> frame with objects that represent the essence of a book from the list of 100 best-loved novels. I choose books that will be relatively easy to recognize and ones I am somewhat familiar with. After a search on Google Images and Pinterest, I make a list of important symbols and distinguishable items that best characterize each novel. I send my wish list off to the props master at the Nashville Repertory Theatre (our neighbors here at NPT) and receive a box of props in return. If necessary, I print off images to further help symbolize the book and then arrange all my objects in the most aesthetically pleasing way.<\/p>\n
