03. A book with 22 or more letters in the title

[Pam]

I’m reading Travels with Charley in Search of America by John Steinbeck.

[Kahlia]

I read Index, A History of the: A Bookish Adventure from Medieval Manuscripts to the Digital Age by Dennis Duncan. I had something else in mind for this prompt, but I typically pick my audio nonfiction on a whim and when I realised how perfect this book would be for the prompt I had to sub it in.

[Andrea]

I finished The Winshaw Legacy or What a Carve Up! by Jonathan Coe for this prompt. Other qualifying titles that I have enjoyed include The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World by Laura Imai Messina and The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas by Machado de Assis.

[Tracy]

I read (and enjoyed) My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Bachman. I read his Anxious People last year (as well as watching the corresponding movie recently), and have added him to my list of Favorite Authors. He is SO good at varied emotional depth, but done in a light way.

[Anne]

I will be reading The Labyrinth of Spirits by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I have at least two long titles to read Last Voyage of the Valentina, and Across many Mountains. I have read The Thursday Murder Club, the Flame Trees of Thika, and The Full Cupboard of Life amongst my long titles.

[Wendy]

I'm planning to read either Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia for this one, or else After Leaving Mr. Mackenzie - I may be able to place one of these in another category.

Other books I considered were:
Finding Beauty in a Broken World
How the García Girls Lost Their Accents
I Thought You Said This Would Work
The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne
I'm Thinking of Ending Things
Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket: Stories

[Tiffany]

I read How to Kill a City: Gentrification, Inequality, and the Fight for the Neighborhood, but I originally intended to read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Tales of Terror.

I would recommend The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

[GailW]

I read The Women of Chateau Lafayette by Stephanie Dray. Quite a bit of history I never knew.

[Kira]

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

[Shannon]

For this prompt, I will decide between one of the following:

Lean Your Loneliness Slowly Against Mine by Klara Hveberg
The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Cordova
The Island of Missing Trees by Elik Shafak

They are very different books, so I will see what I am in the mood for when I get to this prompt.

[Matthias]

This could be 'cheating' but I am adding Mark Bould's academic book The Anthropocene Unconscious: Climate Catastrophe in Contemporary Culture for this challenge.

[Votakubees]

I read The House in the Cerulean Sea for this prompt and it was amazing. I loved it!

[Dana]

I have finished a short graphic novel called It's OK to Feel Things Deeply by Carissa Potter.

[Barbara]

by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Breathtaking! One of the best novels I have ever read. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Other recommendations from my personal 5-stars lists are:

Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Murder on the Orient Express
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Eva's Story: A Survivor's Tale by the Step-Sister of Anne Frank

[ava (taylor’s version)]

I read the Memory Keeper’s Daughter. An amazing book and would recommend to anyone

[Jill]

I read A Case of Murder in Mayfair by Clara Benson
The title of this book is exactly 22 letters long. As my TBR list is so long with lots of long titles, I decided to make it harder for myself by finding a book with a 22 letter title. The trouble is that now I find myself counting letters in all books that look a possible.

[Nicola]

#3 in my 'catch-up'. This one was read mid februrary but seeing as my list hasn't been planned (until now), I'll take it:

[Joan]

I read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. It was better than I expected and I had it on my reading list for awhile.

I've read some other long titles but I can't remember what they were. But I don't read too many of them.

[Evelyn]

I read My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh it was different type of book I read.

[Madelynn]

I read The Taking of Jake Livingston which has 25 letters total in the title

[Stacey]

A book that was on my list for a while, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann was my choice for this prompt. By the way, the movie version comes out in 2023.

Lots of other great reads for this category include:

The Book of Strange New Things
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex

[Barbara]

I read Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

[Marie (UK)]

I read To Paradise

am conflicted about this book. As soon as I saw it was out my name was on the Library reservation list. I was lucky and got it quickly.

The Premise of the book is an alternative history /dystopian view of America with an emphasis on how sexual orientation might alter freedoms. There is also a line about continuing pandemics and the response of governments to them. It seems surprisingly easy to get on the wrong side of the law and therefore invoke allegations of treason.

I loved A Little Life but found parts of this new novel extremely hard work, none more so than the fact that everyone seems to be descended from everyone else and to have the same names. I suppose purposefully there are times when the reader is unsure whether the narrators are male or female.

Sorry, I don't want to be rude, but this title is only 10 letters long.

[Anastasia]

I am reading Within the Sanctuary of Wings by Marie Brennan. I enjoyed this tongue in check series. It has a dry wit.
