43. A book with a title that is a whole sentence

[Shannan]

I've had I'm Just No Good at Rhyming: And Other Nonsense for Mischievous Kids and Immature Grown-Ups on my hold list at the library for a long time, so I think I'll use that.

[Beth]

I read We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy.

[Nadine in NY]

I had been planning to use When I Grow Up I Want to Be a List of Further Possibilities for this category. It's a book of poems, and it is excellent, so I am taking my time with it. Which means I still haven't finished it.

Meanwhile, I started and am about to finish: The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break. And I can't decide if that's a full sentence, or just a fragment. Does this one count??

Totally counts.

Wish You Were Here is really a phrase not a sentence right?

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

I would count it as a phrase since there is no subject (i.e. vs. I Wish You Were Here)

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Thanks :)

Brittany, I read this one for a book about a murder, Im a nurse too :-)

The whole thing just blew my mind!! I was expecting it to be about a mercy killer but nope! Scary stuff indeed :-(

[Anna]

I read We Have Always Lived in the Castle for this prompt. Alternative title: How to Become a Crazy Cat Lady.

[Joan]

I'm reading Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine for this prompt. I'm looking forward to it. I'm 44 pages in so far and the character development of Eleanor is funny.

[Sue]

I have just reread He Went With Marco Polo by Louise Andrews Kent. I first read this as about an 8 year old, and read it again in preparation for a meeting to discuss "a book that changed your life". It was the start of my desire to travel to different places, and especially China.

Bec wrote: "Wish You Were Here is really a phrase not a sentence right?" Actually Wish you were here is a sentence because I is implied and in English is correct. Just like "come here for a minute" can be also because You is implied.

[Jill]

I am reading Everything Here Is Beautiful.

[Shelley]

I went with I Let You Go


My alternative title would be "This Girl Needs Therapy".

That is also the title of my sub-shelf that this would go into along with Gone Girl, You, and The Girl in the Train. You get a therapist! And you get a therapist!

LOL...Fantastic!!😂

[Wendy]

I'm doing I Am Legend -- seems like a good seasonal read for October, too.

I also considered (You) Let the Right One In which is a command, and so the "you" subject is implied.

I read ‘The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry’. I really enjoyed this, more than I was expecting.

Your challenge, not policing, but.... that’s not a sentence - no verb.

I’m going to go with America Is Not the Heart, should be starting in a week or so when my library hold come in.

An alternative title based on the cover alone: Escape from the Trailer Park. (but that isn't reflective of the book).

I am reading H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald.



I have no idea how I would describe this cover as a sentence.

For my 2nd time around, I read “I am the Messenger” by Markus Zusak. I liked it more than I expected to! 4 stars. The title is perfect for the book.

[Tracy]

I haven't managed to fit in my original choice but I did read I'm Thinking of Ending Things, which fits.

I was really excited about this book but in the end I was left feeling, meh. It wasn't what I hoped it would be and I had it mostly figured out pretty much from the beginning, maybe because I had recently read something that was a similar idea?

Alternate title: This Book is Not as Suspenseful as The Hype Makes It Out To Be.


For our picture book challenge I read I Like to Be Little, which reminded me that I want to be little, lol. I haven't read it with the girls yet, but they're going to love it. It's so relatable. So many great things about being a child, why would you want to grow up? But the mother at the end has the answer and that was something I could relate to. I really like this author. I've read several of her picture books this year.Always a thoughtful message.

[Melanie]

I read The Heart Goes Last, but I didn't like it that much. Atwood can be really hit-or-miss for me, but I can't stop picking up her books.

[Ashley]

I read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. This is not something I usually read, but I enjoyed it. It was narrated by someone in a mental hospital and basically tells of a period of time he was there. As a lot happens, it is almost like his own adventure this time.
