Scratch-Off Novel Guides

The '100 Essential Novels' Card List by Pop Chart Keeps Track of Reading

— July 29, 2016 — Art & Design
To help consumers keep track of their reading lists, Pop Chart Lab has put together an innovative scratch card list titled '100 Essential Novels' that consumers can use to monitor which of the classics they've read. The list includes 100 book titles spanning several eras and genres that consumers can reveal the full cover by scratching away the gold foil laid on top of the book.

The list is 18-inches by 24-inches and includes a list of dozens of books that are deemed to be must-reads. The novels range from publishing dates in 1605 all the way till today. The chart showcases elements of each book cover, while partially hiding it under a gold foil. As consumers begin to tick off the books from the list, they can scratch away the foil entirely.

The chart acts as both a literary tracking system and a piece of wall art.
