I ended up using The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland - even without the subtitle it is long enough.
I also could have used
The Girl with the Louding Voice
The Case of the Canterfell Codicil (lots of mysteries have similar titles, The Mystery of the Old House or whatever)
Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
Decluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with Stuff
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club
The Ordeal of the Haunted Room
The Devil and the Dark Water
The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

I read The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell by Robert Dugoni

I really didn't. Luckily my book club picked this one and it fit.

2. Did you have a lot of options for this prompt? No, but once I found one I stopped looking.

I read My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman
Did you have a lot of options for this prompt?
Yes, more than I would have thought before looking at my list

You're Never Weird on the Internet
2. Did you have a lot of options for this prompt?

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life

2. Did you have a lot of options for this prompt?
Loads
3. What would you recommend?
This was fabulous but I also liked The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared
and The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant

I liked the book but I've heard that the series goes downhill and becomes very difficult to read, so I've decided not to read any more. All I'm really interested in is whether Broud gets what he deserves and what happens to Ayla's son, and from the reviews, it looks like we never go back to the clan and see what happens.


Yes, I had plenty of options. I didn't need to go past the first page of the Listopia list.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Harry Potter Series Box Set
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

2. Did you have a lot of options for this prompt? I did. Some of them I used for other harder to fill prompts.
3. What would you recommend? Either this book, or if you never read the original, then Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe

The Witch Doesn't Burn in This One by Amanda Lovelace
2. Did you have a lot of options for this prompt?
Yes, over 10.
3. What would you recommend?
The Harry Potter series by Agatha Christie + Fantastic Beasts and where to find them (1 + 2)
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me by Mariko Tamaki

3. What would you recommend?







I read This Is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone and Amal El-Mohtar.
2. Did you have a lot of options for this prompt?
I don't know - as soon as I saw the prompt, I thought of This Is How You Lose the Time War and I never wavered from that plan! I think if I hadn't been able to get my hands on the book I might have read The Priory of the Orange Tree, though.
3. What would you recommend?
The first book with a long title that comes to mind is definitely The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers - I thought this one was so cozy and relaxing to read.
Another fun title is If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino. This is such a strange and interesting book, if you're into experimental, "meta" sorts of fiction.

I had so many options on my TBR that I was avoiding any books that needed the subtitle to count just to narrow it down, and then ended up using an unplanned read that just happened to fit. No trouble at all finding a book to use!
