34. A book with a person's name in the title

[Nancy]

I read The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and I thank all the others who had this listed here. I read this earlier in the year and forgot all about it, and came here to search out some suggestions. Lo and behold, there it was listed. So thanks! lol

[Pam]

I'm reading The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, a book recommended by Anne Bogel on her podcast "What Should I Read Next?"

[Joan]

I read Victoria The Queen: An Intimate Biography of the Woman Who Ruled an Empire. I wasn't planning on reading this for the challenge but I kind of fell behind and am inserting this book here. Normally the non-fiction I read during the year I don't count towards the challenge but this year it looks like I'm going to have to.

I already filled this prompt, but maybe I will use it for the numbers prompt or maybe it will have to wait for a bit because I buy too many books :-)

This week I'm reading Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon by the wonderful Jorge Amado. Love the fragrant title (and it's also my lil cousin's name!)

I read The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep for this one. The book is set in Wellington, New Zealand and involves a pair of brothers, one of whom has the talent of being able to read characters out of books.

Virgil Wander

What's in a name?

"For a man named Wander I’d spent a long time in one place."

"Lucy smiled. She stepped forward taking a hand from her deep coat pocket. “Wander—what a name. It’s almost a calling. You’ve had some adventures, with a name like that.”

Enger, Leif. Virgil Wander . Grove Atlantic. Kindle Edition.

Do we have a book of the month for this prompt? I feel like I missed the vote and can’t find the winner...

[Stephanie]

I read Fleishman Is in Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner for this prompt. This book is one of my two absolute favorites I have read this year. An amazing author!

[Marie]

I read Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman. Such a good book, I loved it.

[Sara]

Read Suttree by Cormac McCarthy for this prompt. Astounding book about a well-educated man who becomes a river rat in 1950's Knoxville. Of course, being a McCarthy, it goes without saying it was raw and coarse but worth the pain.

Daniel Martin by John Fowles

I read Goldie the Dollmaker by M.B. Goffstein.

This book was always on my shelves as a child, and it resurfaced last year. The illustrations are so simple but so charming, and that is what always captivated me as a child. But I didn't actually remember what the story was about, beyond being about a dollmaker. It's actually a really touching story about the power of art, the beauty of creating just for that one person who will love what you have made. Lovely wee book.

[Andrea]

I just finished Ellie and the Harpmaker by Hazel Prior. It was cute.

[Shelley]

I went with A Town Like Alice, which I realize is the town Alice and not a person Alice, but I'm going with it.

It was a gorgeous book, with a strong historical female character, and adventure but pragmatism. I loved it.
