8. A book with a time of day in the title

[Heather]

Mornings on Horseback: The Story of an Extraordinary Family, a Vanished Way of Life, and the Unique Child Who Became Theodore Roosevelt -- Could also count as a micro-history

[Sarah]

I'm going to use Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions.

Zuzu is my spirit animal <3 I love this series so much!

[Mandy]

Sundown at Sunrise: A Story of Love and Murder, Based on One of the Most Notorious Ax Murders in American History

This one would work for a local author if you're from Minnesota.

[Lauren]

Reading The Wrath and the Dawn for this one!

YA Fantasy retelling of A Thousand and One Nights, which has also been optioned for a movie

[Kristi]

I'm reading Midnight Exposure.

[Alexandra]

Does These Days of Ours work ?

[Nicole]

I don't know if this book has been mentioned already, but I just saw in my BookBub e-mail that It Happened at Two in the Morning by Alan Hruska is free for Kindle today.

I didn't have anything set in stone for this prompt yet, and I may or may not use this book for it in the end, but I figured I might as well get it, since it's free. It is also classified as a legal thriller, so that might help anyone who is also doing the AtY52 challenge (prompt 23).

[Alexandra]

I'm wondering if Second Chance by Jane Green fits this prompt? I mean, is "second" considered as time of day? What do you think?

[Shelley]

I read The Night Circus. I really enjoyed it. It was amazing world building with strong characters. There were still some flimsy plot choices that were hand-waved with "feeling it's the right choice" but it actually fit the environment.

[Kristin]

This was the first prompt I took on this year (like others, I don't want to double dip), having purchased The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man at the end of last year. Great book, very unlike the other books I've read by W. Bruce Cameron.

[Leigh]

Janise wrote: "Three-Ten to Yuma and other stories by Elmore Leonard"

This is the book that I was thinking of reading!

[My Bookish Delights]

I read Batman: Nightwalker by Marie Lu for this prompt.

[Lani]

Jo Nesbo's Midnight Sun would fit into 3 prompts, but I'll use it for this one.

[Heather Adores Books]

I am planning on Death at Breakfast by Beth Gutcheon

[Marianne]

Our Souls at Night is soo good!!

[Crumb]

This one looks good: Good Mourning.. I'm assuming this would work? Could someone confirm this for me?

[Jane]

Billiards at Half Past Nine by Heinrich Boll. One of my all time favorites.

Oh and right now I'm reading Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions, the third in a series that is based on the first (or one of the first) deputy sheriffs in the U.S. They are delightful.

[Britany]

Finished this one-- counting it for this task:
by Leslie A. Perlow

Didn't really like it, but when someone puts a book in your hand, you read it, right? ... right?

My Review:

[Tara]

Just finished Night Road and planned on using that for this prompt - until I realized Kristin Hannah is from my hometown! Just wanted to hop on to HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone still looking.

Now this one is open for me, so checking out all your recommendations!

[Amy]

Every Day by David Levithan. Really enjoying it

[Call Me Shivi]

Going to read “The Power of Now” for this one

[Elizabeth]

I'm going with The Scottie Barked At Midnight

[Hayley]

I see a lot of suggestions with "night" in the title and I have another. Oracle Night is a book I read as a senior in high school. It is about the life of a writer and is set in 1982 (if you are an 80s baby looking to tick off the decade you were born prompt).

It's up to you of course, but I would not count that book since "mourning" is not a time of day.

[Taylor]

Amy wrote: "Every Day by David Levithan. Really enjoying it"

I was wondering about that one for this challenge!

[Jenn]

I read Midnight Guardians by Jonathon King for this. I love the prompts where I can search for a keyword in the library catalog and just pick one out!

[Cyndy]

I read Sleep Till Noon by Max Shulman for this prompt. Shulman is the Dobie Gillis author. A quick easy read from 1950.

[Ariel]

Is High Tide in Tucson too much of a stretch for this one?

[Crumb]

This one looks like it will be my choice: Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV by Brian Stelter
It's definitely a time of the day and it looks interesting. Thought I would throw it out as another idea for anyone struggling with this prompt.

[Haley]

I'm considering using Frank O'Hara's "Lunch Poems." As in lunchtime. Too much of a stretch? Or just creative? ;P

[Ellen]

I listened to The Night Circus on audiobook which I would definitely recommend. It's narrated by Jim dale who also did the Harry Potter audiobooks (or one version of them) and he's amazing.

[Dani]

After Nightfall

Ladies' Night

Goodnight Nobody

The Friday Night Knitting Club

[Laura]

Lunchtime is definitely a time of day!

[Wendy]

I think I'm going to read After Dark by Haruki Murakami for this one.

Thanks for your support Laura! :)

[Jane]

Billiards at Half Past Nine by Heinrich Boll is one of the best books I've ever read. I've read it three times. Haley, I think I may try Frank O'Hara's Lunch Poems. I haven't read any poetry yet for the 2018 challenge. Need to begin.

[Patricia]

[Emanuel]

I read A Noite

[Christine]

I just finished Dawn and it was wonderful. It didn't quite reach the heights of perfection that Kindred and Bloodchild and Other Stories* had for me, but it was compulsively readable and a great story. I'm definitely reading the next one in the series!

*Actually Bloodchild is a short story collection and honestly has some true duds. But the titular story was maybe the best science fiction story I've read, and "Amnesty" was so harrowingly good I had to put it down and recover for a while, but I also had to finish it. "Speech Sounds" is no slouch either.

[Kim]

Goodreads had on their list Kate Chopin-Story of an Hour and A Night in Acadie. Those are short stories; not a novel. Is that okay?

[Sasha]

There is a whole series with times in the title by Joanne Pence. Two O’clock Heist is one

[SadieReadsAgain]

I read Night Song of the Last Tram - A Glasgow Childhood for this. I wasn't sure what to expect from it. My father was born not far from where and not long after when this book was set, so I was really interested to see more of that world. But I was dubious, worried that this was going to be yet another child abuse story. Thankfully, this memoir is so much more than that. It's a story of the bond between a mother and son above all else, a story which warmed me and broke me in equal measures. It's also a funny, nostalgic and honest snapshot of a childhood in the Maryhill area of Glasgow in the 1950's which had me turning the pages, running through the closes with Robert and his friends and breaking my heart for his strong and funny mother. Lovely wee book.

I read Night Circus for this one too, although I may end up using it for #30 A book with characters that are twins if I can't find anything else

[Cornerofmadness]

I read Two Tocks before Midnight by C.J. Martin which is a mystery novella.

[Jacky]

Night Film - brilliant!

[Sylvia]

I just finished 24 Hours by Greg Isles. I couldn’t put it down. The fastest I’ve read a book since the Twilight series.

This prompt just says book, so I think it's all good: poems, short stories, fiction or nonfiction.

For those who like YA and fairy tale retellings, I enjoyed Before Midnight: A Retelling of Cinderella and Book of a Thousand Days.

Wings of Dawn is YA historical fiction.

If you like self-help books on improving your routine The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life was pretty good.

If you want to count this as a time of day The Fringe Hours: Making Time for You was also pretty good.

Ones I have on my reading list:

Daughters of the Night Sky (historical fiction)

This Night So Dark (A free companion novella that goes with a YA sci-fi series I'd highly recommend. The main books would work for set on another planet.)

The Night Dance: A Retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses (YA fantasy)

Night Watch (sci-fi/humor)

The Dawn of a Tomorrow (adult fiction by the author of A Little Princess)

The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time (nonfiction)

What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast: A Short Guide to Making Over Your Mornings--and Life (nonfiction)

I just finished Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. I gave it 4 stars. Great bookish adventure. I wish there was a little less technology but I guess that was part of the theme of the book. Technology v. Books. In my world, books will always win. I would recommend it.
