37 - a book with a two-word title

[Sara]

This is a good prompt to fit in a book on your TBR. I'm sure we all have some two-word books on our lists!

If I manage to get back on track with the Inspector Gamache series, Glass Houses will work for me!

Favorites?

[Denise]

I'm going with:

Indian Horse

I had 5 in my TBR list, so I picked based on whether or not it was at the library in ebook form, and then the highest rating on Goodreads.

[VanesGirl]

Ziegfeld Girls by Sarah Barthel

for german readers
Im Lautlosen and Die Stimmlosen by Melanie Metzenthin

[Floor]

I will probably read either Gone Girl or Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn.

[Megan]

Looking at my TBR shelf on my bookcase, I might go with Alias Grace

[Rachel]

Anansi Boys
Good Omens (the full title is longer than two words, so maybe that's cheating, but the copy I have doesn't have the subtitle.

[Kara]

Are we counting books where the first word is "The", like The Passage? Because those would technically work, but feel like cheating personally.

My TBR that Would Work for This
Spinning Silver
Storm Front
Surprise Me
Three Wishes
What Light
Goodnight Nobody
Early Riser

[Vivian]

I am going to read Heretics Anonymous on my TBR list and I already have the book on hand :)

[Heather]

[Erica]

This prompt was a little easier. I have plenty of two-word titles on my TBR. The problem was narrowing it down.

Purple Hibiscus
Vinegar Hill
War Dances
Dark Places
Sharp Objects
Gone Girl
Exit West

[Raquel (Silver Valkyrie Reads)]

I'll probably count one of these:

Peter Pan

Thief Prince

Agnes Grey

[Ruba]

Is Les Misérables considered two words???

[Raquel (Silver Valkyrie Reads)]

Ruba wrote: "Is Les Misérables considered two words???"

[Aesma]

Do you guys consider a book with a number in the title (for example Metro 2033) as a two-word title?

[Ellie]

It's up to you. I'm not sure I would count it but if this is the only place you can fit a book you want to read, you can bend the prompt.

I read Lisey's Story for one of this years prompts. Not a bad read :)

[Raquel (Silver Valkyrie Reads)]

Aesma wrote: "Do you guys consider a book with a number in the title (for example Metro 2033) as a two-word title?"

This is the beginning of the definition I got for word when I googled it: "a single distinct meaningful element of speech or writing". By that definition, I think the number in the title counts as a word, so if you want to count it that's reasonable.
