This week’s topic is “Top Ten Extraordinary Book Titles”, and was submitted by Elise @ A Book and a Cup! This topic is broad and “extraordinary” can be interpreted to mean a bunch of different things. I’ve chosen to pick titles that are really beautiful to me and don’t follow the normal title trends in the book world right now (I’m looking at you, _____ of _____ and _____ titles). There’s SO many really pretty titles out there, so it was hard to pick just ten. I’ve only read one of these books, and one is currently on my TBR. The others… kind of sound like I’d only like them for their titles. lol.
1. The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
2. Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name by Vendela Vida
3. The Earth Hums in B Flat by Mari Strachan
4. I Woke Up in Love This Morning by Jennifer Kathleen Gibbons
5. A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray (I’ve read this.)
6. Chasing the Sea by Tom Bissell
7. The Anatomy of Melancholy by Robert Burton
8. The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón (on my TBR)
9. The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
10. The Shape of Water by Anne Spollen
Have you read any of these?
What are some pretty titles you’ve come across?
I just went with titles that I really like. Don’t know if they’re extraordinary by the proper definition, but they sure sound good. :D Not the biggest fan of “The Light Between Oceans,” but that title (!!), and I remember thinking Claudia’s books sounded really interesting though I’ve never read them.
I was thinking of adding Shadow of the Wind to my list this week. It’s such a beautiful title and the inside content really matches its beauty 🥰Great list, Jana!
OOh nice picks! Lots of new to me ones here except for Claudia Gray’s! I still need to finish that trilogy!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

Great list! Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name is a gorgeous title, that sounds like one I need to check out.
I also like the title of The Light Between Oceans and I really liked the book too!
Jana, I haven’t read any of the books on your list, but on my own list, I think The Wind Through the Keyhole by Stephen King has a rather pretty, fairytale style title. :-)
I like the way you interpreted the topic! I enjoyed reading The Sun Also Rises when I read it for school, but I was one of the few who enjoyed Hemingway’s writing.
I feel like I read The Shape of Water ages ago, but I no longer remember what it was about. :)
Good list.
My TTT.
Urg I am getting super tired of _____ of _____ and _____ titles!! You have some great ones on your list, The Anatomy of Melancholy sounds really cool
Let The Northern Lights Erase Your Name is an awesome title. I had to go on Goodreads and see what that one was about!
This is the prompt that finally made me participate :)
