Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish
Hi gorgeous readers! Well. I’ve tried to limit my list of unique book titles to books I’ve actually read. I’m sure there are a lot more unique and outrageous books out there. Here we go:
The Crimson Skew by S.E. Grove – The title itself refers to a red fog, but I would have never guessed it! (Review)
Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta – Also, no idea what this title meant before reading the book, but it makes perfect sense as soon as you start reading 🙂
The Void of Muirwood by Jeff Wheeler – I loved this series (covers included) and it’s world.
Illusionarium by Heather Dixon – Just very unusual, but highly appropiate (Review)
On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Merchetta – (Review)
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black – Another beloved story, even though I keep crossing my fingers so Holly Black will write a story after what happens at the end…(Review)
Graveminder by Melissa Marr – Well, it is about what the title says, quite literally (Review)
The Monstrumologist by Rick Lancey – As you might guess, it refers to someone who studies monsters (Review)
Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli – No idea by the title what this was about! I read it because otherwise Bee might have stopped being my co-blogger and I love her 🙂 (Review)
Shadowcry by Jenna Burtenshaw – The series in Britain is called Wintercraft, which is also a made up word but makes much more sense (Review)
What are some of your unique book titles?

Illusionarium is such a great title! I also love It Looks Like This, A Shade of Difference, and The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. 🙂

Great list!
Some of these books have been on my TBR for YEARS, but I’ve never got around to reading them.

Jellicoe Road is a uniquely eye-catching title! The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is also a really cool title.

I read The Coldest Girl in Coldtown earlier this month and while I didn’t love it as much as I’d hoped to, I do wish Holly would write a follow-up too. And I want to read The Monstrumologist so bad, that cover is so creepy in a good way.

I love the cover of Graveminder. Very creepy.
I can name only a few I have read that I think are unique. “Reflection Pond” by Kacey Vanderkarr, “Blossoming Flower” by Vivian Winslow, “A Mortal Song” by Megan Crew (LOVED IT!) and “Keeper of the Isis Light” by Monica Hughes, which is set on a planet named after the Egyptian Goddess. I have more unique titles on my TBR list. You can name more than I can. Good for you.
Well, you’re a rock star at this. I did not participate, because I could not come up with ten from my read shelf. I apparently need to read more oddly titled books. Simon was a good pick, and having the read the book, I love what Albertalli did with the title there.
