Happy Tuesday, and welcome to another TTT! This week’s topic is books with single-word titles, and was submitted by Kitty from Kitty Marie’s Reading Corner. Long, wordy titles with lots of nouns and adjectives are pretty popular right now, so I thought it would be fun to talk about the simplest titles. The words “The” and “A” don’t have to count if you don’t want them to! I chose to focus on books I’ve read and would recommend.
Roomies by Christina Lauren
Hunted by Meagan Spooner
Caraval by Stephanie Garber
Boomerang by Noelle August
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Atlantia by Ally Condie
Renegade by J.A. Souders
Incarnate by Jodi Meadows
Captivate by Vanessa Garden
Cress by Marissa Meyer
It’s kind of crazy how many fantasy and sci-fi books are in this list. I guess, at one point, short titles were popular for books of these genres! Now there’s so many A ____ of ____ and ____ or The Daughter of ____ and ____ titles that I can’t even keep track of them anymore! There’s just something nice about a short, simple title.
Which books did you include on your list this week?
Have you read and any of these? What did you think of them?
Ooo! I almost included Hunted on mine (I went by what books I had on my shelf) as well as Incarnate. :) Also both books I have as yet to read.

Ooh I like atlantia and Renegade. I almost got Atlantia at one time because I thought the underwater setting sounded neat- never did read it though. I’ve never read Rebecca either, actually, now that I think of it…

I read Rebecca after watching the Alfred Hitchcock movie version, and I have to say I liked the movie better, lol. Great list. :)
I’ve only read 2 of these – Rebecca and Caraval. But want to read several more of the others.
Ooh nice ones!! Caraval obviously went on my list too! This one was a lot of fun! I didn’t realize how many one-word titles I had! I remember Captive too! I liked that one. I think I have the sequel on my kindle still, but the third one was never made available to the US, at least I don’t think so. Though I did see last year that the first book was republished! I might need to go back and see if they did the rest too!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

This was such an interesting prompt :)
Heard great things about Rebecca and have been meaning to read the Marissa Meyer series for a while. I did enjoy Caraval but not enough to include it in my list

Caraval is on my list too and I forgot about Atlantia! It is interesting to see the trends of book titles changing through the years.

Great list Jana. There are four on here that are on my TBR, but I might be adding more.
Carla recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: Books with a One Word Title
Most of the ones I found, I haven’t read yet. It’s amazing how many single word titles there are, because I never think about it.

Great list! It really is amusing to see how title conventions change over time.

Cress is such a great choice! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I really need to read Caraval. Great list!
Caraval and Rebecca have been on my TBR list forever. One day I’ll get to them.

Seeing Caraval on your list just reminded me that I want to finish reading this series…. at some point.
I’ve read a grand total of 0 from this list! Have meant to read Rebecca for ages but never got around to it.
My version of the list had a very Celtic flavour since March is Irish and Welsh reading month.
Hunted looks like a great read.
