16 - A book with a question in the title

[Sara]

I thought of Where'd You Go, Bernadette right away. What other books have questions in the title?

[El]

Why Didn't They Ask Evans? by Agatha Christie
N or M? by Agatha Christie - I didn't like this that much.

[The Chapter Conundrum (Stacey)]

Where'd You Go, Bernadette is what I thought of right away that I haven't read yet!

Also thought of:
Can You Keep a Secret?
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
Remember Me?

[Thomas]

Do none fiction books count cos i was thinking of Did She Kill Him?

[Katy]

Non-fiction books absolutely count. I'm annoyed because today I just finished a book that the title was a question. Oh, well.

[Raquel (Silver Valkyrie Reads)]

This one goes very nicely with the ATY prompt for one of the 5 W's in the title. I'm using this one: Who is Branwell Brontë?

[Kenya]

I've found a LOT of children's books that fall under this heading, such as Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, Are You My Mother?, What Do People Do All Day?, etc. So if that's your thing, there's plenty of options there.

Aside from that, a heartbreaking but powerful read with a question for a title is They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

[VanesGirl]

Where Have All the Cowboys Gone? by Kate Pearce

[Kara]

Whose Body?. This would also fit the amateur detective prompt.

[Nullifidian]

I've never read any of Anthony Trollope's Palliser novels, so I thought this would be a good place to start with Can You Forgive Her? .

[Elinore]

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? or Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling would be a fun read :)

[Brooke]

When Will There Be Good News? is my pick. It has been on my bookshelf for longer than I care to admit.

[Nadine in NY]

How Long 'til Black Future Month?: Stories by N.K. Jemisin

[Johanne]

What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
And someone (Nadine?) mentioned this book somewhere What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
And I thought of this one I loved as a teenager: Agnes Cecilia, hvem er du? meaning Agnes Cecilia, who are you?. But it seems in other languages than Danish it's not phrased as a question.

[Kelly]

Quo Vadis!

Thanks for this! I think I'll do "Why not me?"

[poshpenny]

If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries What Am I Doing in the Pits? - Erma Bombeck
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Whatever Happened To Baby Jane
Why Do Men Have Nipples?: Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini

Where's Waldo?

[JoAnna]

I'm wondering if Hillary Clinton's What Happened would count. I don't think it's really meant as a question, but it could be misconstrued as one.

[Tracy]

I think after reading reviews I'll jump on the Where'd You Go, Bernadette train....

[Jenny]

Tracy wrote: "I think after reading reviews I'll jump on the Where'd You Go, Bernadette train...."

I think I might read this one too.

[SarahKat]

Which Witch? is a good middle grade book. Although I haven't read it since I was about 11. I may read it to my kid for this prompt.

[Diane]

Does it have to have a question mark? Thinking about What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera.

[Johanne]

Diane, I thought about that as well, but as long as it´s phrased as a question I´d say it is a question with or without a question mark.

[poshpenny]

What If It's Us is my best choice so far

[Natalie]

This entire series would work! :D



I read Am I Normal Yet a while ago and loved it, so I'll be reading How Hard Can Love Be? c:

[Lindi]

This one is easy for me - Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling! I adored Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, so I'm excited to read her latest(?)

I also found Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?: And Other Questions You Should Have Answers to When You Work in the White House on my TBR for any of my fellow U.S. politics nerds.

[Ellie]

..."

There's also Are We All Lemmings and Snowflakes? and How Do You Like Me Now?. (her adult debut). Holly loves a question title!

[Derick]

Did You Ever Have a Family by Bill Clegg

[Sara]

I have this book sitting on my shelf. Maybe I should read it :)

What's in Your Genes?: From the Color of Your Eyes to the Length of Your Life, a Revealing Look at Your Genetic Traits

[Jenny]

I forgot about this series!

Did I Mention I Love You?
Did I Mention I Miss You?
Did I Mention I Need You?

[L Y N N]

I absolutely loved this book!

[Vivian]

How about Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

If we're going for misconstrued titles, then It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis could count.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick

Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne

If we're going for tangentially related, would anyone else count a book with the word "question" in the title as fulfilling the prompt?

[Chrissi]

What Was She Thinking? Notes on a Scandal
Is It Night or Day? - Using this one!

[Linda]

Thinking outside the box! I like it!

[Tina]

I have What If It's Us on my wishlist, hoping to get it soon. And I also have Can You Keep a Secret?, Remember Me? and Are You Afraid of the Dark? on my shelves.

[Chelsea]

For some nonfiction, how about

Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?
Why Did the Chicken Cross the World?: The Epic Saga of the Bird that Powers Civilization

[Serendipity]

I want to read more non-fiction next year. In fact my goal is to read at least one book from each of the main Dewey system (e.g. 100s) next year. So I think I'll head to my library and browse the 100s and 200s. I'm banking on the philosophy and religion sections are likely to have titles that include question.

This is a great idea! Would have never thought of that one. Thanks

[Britany]

I just finished Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant? by Roz Chast

it was so good-- and would work for this prompt for next year.

[Kim]

This is a no-brainer for me, because I've just ordered a copy of Whose Boat Is This Boat?: Comments That Don't Help in the Aftermath of a Hurricane, by The Staff of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (proceeds go to help storm victims).

And then, there's the Lemony Snicket All the Wrong Questions Series: Who Could That Be at This Hour?, etc. Those are fast and fun, and great for people who have kids doing the PopSugar challenge.

[Wendy]

Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? by Steven Tyler, which can also count for the book by a musician prompt

[Soph ♡]

Why Didn't They Ask Evans? LOVE Agatha Christie!

[Shaha]

What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions is a non-fic that is funny and informative

[Shaha]

oh yes, I am going with one of these, thank you

[Peggy]

Why not me? sounds like a good pick for my book club. Thanks for the suggestion!

[Peggy]

How do you name the title of the book in comments and have it link to the page? Mine didn't.

[The Chapter Conundrum (Stacey)]

If you're using the app unfortunately you can't do it but if you're on a browser version of the goodreads site, right above where you type your comment there's a button for "add book/author". You'd click on that, select whether you want the book or author tab (if on book tab at the bottom you can select whether you want the link or the cover) then just search your book and click OK beside the correct one that shows up.

I only have one "?" on my TBR, and it's How Should a Person Be? I'm actually not thrilled about it, because after reading it's GR page I'm not entirely sure why I even bought it...but I'll go with it for now, unless/until something better presents itself.

[KaalAmba]

I'm choosing one of these three in my TBR: Are Prisons Obsolete? by Angela Davis, Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling, or What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by Randall Munroe.
