32 - A book whose title starts with "Q" or "X" or "Z"

[Nadine in NY]

A book whose title starts with "Q" or "X" or "Z"

That's fun! And difficult! I still have the last two Sue Grafton books left to read, so I could go with X.

Listopia for books whose titles start with Q, X, or Z

[Brandi]

I’ll be reading “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking.”
It came highly recommended by my best reader friend, also an introvert.

[Jeanne]

This is an old one but I thought it was quite good - QB VII by Leon Uris.

[mikeyandherbooks]

I'll be reading XX: A Novel, Graphic!

[Kim]

Zero Sum Game
Quiet Neighbors
Zero K
Queen of Flowers and Pearls

Quozl
Zazen
Zoo City

[Brandon]

Quicksilver by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens is a great thriller set in the Pentagon.

Quillifer by Walter Jon Williams and X-Men: The Art and Making of The Animated Series by Eric Lewald are both on my TBR list.

[Dixie]

I'm considering Qualityland, xkcd: volume 0, or Zeroville for this. If you're of a certain age and want something that makes you laugh, try Zingers From the Hollywood Squares!

[Murtaza]

I'm thinking of picking up Quichotte by Salman Rushdie

[Tania]

A few I've read:
Queen of the Conqueror: The Life of Matilda, Wife of William I
Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea
Zodiac Legacy T01: Convergence
Zenith Man

I found 3 on my TBR that I will choose between:
Z-Minus 1
Zoo Nebraska: The Dismantling of an American Dream
Q is for Quarry

[Ellie]

I have Q on my TBR and want to read Zeus is a Dick and Zero Sum Game.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking is one of those books I wish everyone would read.

[Sharmon]

my daughter is reading Zenith (The author is also a YouTuber) and I am reading Queenie.

[L Y N N]

Queenie Malone's Paradise Hotel
Queen Sugar
Xanadu
Zahrah the Windseeker

[Sandra]

I'm reading the Throne of Glass series and I hope to make it to Queen of Shadows during 2021.

[Lauren]

[Mandi]

Definitely going to read Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story, if not Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking as well.

[Britany]

Darn it! I read 2 Q books this year-- Queenie & The Queen of Hearts -- hate it when that happens for a tougher prompt!

[Fannie]

I have Zodiac on my TBR

[K.L.]

I think I'm going to go with Zombies Vs. Unicorns for this prompt. The title is just too good to resist.

[SadieReadsAgain]

I'm hoping I can get hold of The Zookeeper's Wife for this, otherwise I got nothing! Nothing on my shelves, nothing on my Kindle, nothing even on my library lists...

[Drakeryn]

Looking through my book list, it looks like I've never read a book that starts with X or Z, unless it's a childhood book I've forgotten. I've read exactly one Q book (Queen of Blades) but it was terrible.

So this prompt is pretty cool! Very interested in Zoo City and S.L. Huang's Zero Sum Game, and I also have The Queen of Nothing on my TBR.

[Adrianne]

Zoo is on my TBR list. Can't wait to get to this one!

[Brandon]

There is a Star Trek Zero Sum Game by David Mack who like sci-fi thrillers and/or the Breen.

[Lilith]

X is on my TBR, and I'm looking forward to it!

[Heather]

I don't have any other Z or X titles to add, but I have a few Qs.

The Queen of the Tearling
The Queen of the Damned
The Queen's Handmaiden
Quidditch Through the Ages
A Quiet Afternoon

[Morgan]

I believe I'll be reading The Queen of the Night which comes highly recommended from BookRiot!

[Megan]

I read XVI a few years ago for a similar challenge. It's a YA dystopia in which you get an XVI tattoo when you turn 16.

[Lilith]

Quicksand is also on my TBR.

[Rachel]

The Quiet Americans: Four CIA Spies at the Dawn of the Cold War—A Tragedy in Three Acts looks interesting for this one for me.

[Marie-Eve]

I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values in university for part of my Masters thesis...

it's different, but it's a nice travel novel that takes you on a trip across America's Northwest.

I might go ahead with Queens of Geek, mostly cause it looks like a fun read, and it's at a convention. Or The Queen of the Damned but would I need to read the 2 previous book to understand what's going on? I read Interview With a Vampire a long time ago, but i dont remember it well, and i never read second book.

[N Caroline]

Queen of Hearts by Kimmery Martin

[Sarah]

I read Xeni by Rebekah Weatherspoon and The Queen by Josh Levin for an A-Z challenge this year.

[El]

Zikora by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

[Ashley]

“Queenie” by Candace Carty-Williams!!!

[Darci]

This was one of my prompts!

I'm going with a graphic novel for this one: X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga

[Rachel]

Queen Victoria: Daughter, Wife, Mother, Widow by Lucy Worsley

[Kiley]

I'm not at all opposed to doubling up because I don't want this list of books to be the only books I read, so some on my list:
The American Dream & The Zoo Story (For Zoo Story- also a play/format I don't often read)
Zone One (also [potentially?] afrofuturism and a book by a Scorpio author)
Zeitoun (also among the books that have been on my TBR for the longest)

[Laura]

Just finished Queer. I didn't exactly love it, although I am a huge nerd for the Beat writers.

[Sheila]

I think that I might pick up . I don't see it here but I think there is an Olive Edition that came out last year.

[Feli]

I think I’m going to read Q by Christina Dalcher.

[Anna]

I don't know if anyone has recommended it yet but the Prisoner of Zenda is excellent

[JessicaMHR]

For those of you who want a more Chick-lit, Southern, Romance type of book (which non of these others seem like they are) give Queen Bee by Dorothea Benton Frank a chance. She is one of my favorite authors, who I just found out died last year :'( and this is her last novel.

[Lilith]

The Qallunaat Book of Knowledge. by John Ningark. By a First Nations author.

As an introvert, I thought this was a great book too!

But it doesn’t START with the letter Z, as the prompt specifies. 😉

I just finished reading this a couple of days ago! Found it good and I'll definitely read the entire series.

[Brittany]

I thought this would for sure be something I put off until the very end, but here we are January 8th and I’ve already checked this one off. I read x + y: A Mathematician's Manifesto for Rethinking Gender. I’m not into math, but this was definitely an interesting take on gender.

[Kelly]

Zero Night: The Untold Story about WWII's Greatest Escape by Mark Felton

Awesome. I'm looking forward to it.
