Books With Geographical Terms in the Title

 I love this topic idea! I feel like there should be plenty of mountains and forests and islands and maybe oceans. Would Howl's Moving Castle count as a geographical feature? Here are some of my favorite books, or books that sound like they could be my new favorite books, with exciting geographical terms in the title!

Happy Top Ten Tuesday!

Books With Geographical Terms in the Title

  1. The Farthest-Away Mountain by Lynne Reid Banks--This was one of my favorite books as a kid, it involves a journey up a mountain, and it's a one-off fairytale/fantasy.
  2. The Grim Grotto by Lemony Snicket (A Series of Unfortunate Events #11)--I loved these and there are plenty of great geographical names throughout the series (Lake Lachrymose, Briny Beach, Swarthy Swamp!), but this one gets the whole book.
  3. Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel--on my list, but I've heard good things and I like her other books
  4. The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern--same as above
  5. Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery--one of my absolute favs
  6. Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx--a classic
  7. Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier--a different type of classic
  8. Miller's Valley by Anna Quindlen--I love the feel and writing of all Quindlen's books, but this one was exquisitely grounded in the setting of Miller's Valley.
  9. Virgin River by Robyn Carr--I haven't read the books, but I've enjoyed the TV series and especially the sense of place and lovely aerial shots of the river.
  10. Bayou Book Thief (A Vintage Cookbook Mystery) by Ellen Byron--I haven't read this one, but I'm loving the title!

I reread Anne of the Island just last winter. It was so good!

Books with Single-Word Titles

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl! Books with Single-Word Titles These are all my favorite books that I could think of with one-word titles. A lot of fantasy, a few nonfiction (minus subtitles) and Kindred , whether you consider it scifi or historical fiction. Also two portmanteaus using the word "bitter." I suppose it's a word that lends itself to amelioration. 1. Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler 2. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore 3. Fire by Kristin Cashore 4. Heartless by Marissa Meyer 5. Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 6. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius 7. Stoned by Aja Raden (has a subtitle) 8. Educated by Tara Westover 9. Fledgling by Octavia Butler 10. Kindred by Octavia Butler

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel *To Be Released from New Door Books on April 10, 2018* Mindy Vogel is haunted by the future. In frequent daydreams, she toggles between her real, wheelchair-bound life and the adventurous life of her fanfic alter ego, SkyLog officer Kat Wanderer. She's haunted by all that Kat can do which she cannot---belong to an organization of comrades, walk, and fall in love---yet. Because at twenty-four, Mindy's future is very much ahead of her, wheelchair notwithstanding. Through Mindy's "SkyLog" fanzine and related emails, Seidel evokes Star Trek fandom around the turn of the millenium, but also creates a new and compelling science fictional universe, similar to what Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl  does for the Harry Potter fandom with "Simon Snow." Mindy is among the pioneers transitioning fandom from print to digital, boldly encountering like-minded individuals from the comfort of her chair behind the monito

Books On My Summer 2024 TBR

 I've been fairly successful with my reading goals so far this year (40 out of 42 read!), but I still have some goals to catch up on or exceed (books by authors of color and women in translation). I've also got my book club books, and I'll throw a few new and/or summery titles into the mix for inspiration. Hoping to read many of these outside, basking in beautiful weather! Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Books On My Summer 2024 TBR She's Up to No Good by Sara Goodman Confino--This is technically for a book club, although I probably won't be able to attend the meeting.  I've heard so many good things about this one, and it looks like a good summer read, so I'm planning to read it anyway. Midnight in Siberia: A Train Journey into the Heart of Russia by David Greene (Book club read)--I already have it out of the library, but have to get on this one! It sounds very interesting but nonfiction usually takes me a little longer. The Edge of Lost by Kristina McMorris (Book cl
