Fortnite’s Week 7 challenges are here for Battle Royale enthusiasts to complete. One of them requires you to collect five books from Holly Hedges & Sweaty Sands and we can instruct you how to do this in Fortnite Season 5.

One of this week’s Fortnite challenges needs you to venture into Holly Hedges and Sweaty Sands to retrieve a total of five books.

It’s one of eight different challenges you’ll need to do for Week 7 and brings us another week closer to the end of Season 5. The beauty of Fortnite is that we don’t know why this needs to be done, we know only that it must be done if we want glorious XP.

Where to find books in Fortnite’s Holly Hedges and Sweaty Sands

The books aren’t too difficult to find. When you do manage to locate five of them you’ll be one step closer to completing all of the Week 7 challenges that Epic Games have set you.

Just follow our guide and you should have this challenge done in no time.

Fortnite book #1

Our first one can be found in the top-left corner of Holly Hedges. It’s in a big yellow house. When you walk through the door, take a few steps in and you’ll see a bookcase on the left. The book should be on the floor next to it.

Fortnite book #2

Number two is situated in the top-right corner of Holly Hedges. You’ll come to an older-looking, wooden house.

Enter it and go through the first archway on the right. Keep going through until you reach the room with the yellow carpet. The book is tucked away in the corner on the right when you first enter the room.

We’re staying in Holly Hedges for #3. This one is near the bottom-right corner of the POI.

Enter a building that has the door on the right side of it and open your first door on your left. You should see a big fireplace. Next to the fireplace lies your third book to pick up.

Fortnite book #4

Now we’re heading over to Sweaty Sands for our final two. The fourth book is fairly central in the area and can be found in a blue and brown house. Make your way inside and head just past the bed. The book should be lying on the floor to collect.

Fortnite book #5

Our final book is actually very close to the location of the last one. After leaving the last house, simply cross to the opposite side of the road and enter the first house you see.

Enter the left-most door and just before the stairs. There, you’ll find a smaller bookcase. The fifth book is on the floor in front of it.
