Top Ten Tuesday used to be a weekly post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, but was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl. “It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.” This is definitely something I can understand and want to participate in.
This week’s topic, submitted by Lisa @ Hopewell, turned out to be a bit more comprehensive than I thought it would be at first. Geographical terms (for example: mountain, island, latitude/longitude, ash, bay, beach, border, canyon, cape, city, cliff, coast, country, desert, epicenter, hamlet, highway, jungle, ocean, park, sea, shore, tide, valley, etc.) are a kind of broad topic, and the link provided was super helpful. I had to do some serious thinking for it, but here’s my top ten books with geographical terms in the title:
- The Witch in the Well by Camilla Bruce.
- Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch.
- From Potter’s Field by Patricia Cornwell.
- Home Field Advantage by Dahlia Adler.
- The Forest of Stolen Girls by June Hur.
- Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang.
- A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw.
- The City Beautiful by Aden Polydoros.
- Israel: A Simply Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth by Noa Tishby.
- Mona at Sea by Elizabeth Gonzalez James.
What are some books that you’ve read that have geographical terms in the title?

I had a very difficult time with this task this week. Apparently I don’t read many books with geographical terms. My list this week

Let’s see, let’s see… my favorite from this list is A History of Wild Places. That sounds like a wonderful non-fiction travel account, but I see it’s fiction? Still, a list winner! 🙂

It does sound like a great name for a non-fiction travelogue! But it’s still a really good fiction read.

Thank you! The options were so helpful because at first I didn’t think I read more than a couple of books with geographical terms in the title!

Same. Some of the prompts can be quite difficult to work through sometimes. I can spend ages just wondering how to answer it, before I even start looking through my Goodreads app at all the books that I have read (well since 2021 anyway!)

Great list and selection of titles for this week’s prompt. I’m interesting in reading so many of the books you listed. Like The Witch in the Well, The Forest of Stolen Girls and A History of Wild Places, which I’m adding to my TBR.

Good choices! 😀 I stayed away from actual places, but I’m thinking now that I shouldn’t have. I’ve seen quite a few people use them this week.

Thank you! I tried not to use specific locations like city names unless they also had a geographical term, but this week’s prompt was a doozy!

That list of terms was super helpful to me as well. I was surprised at how many different geographical terms there are and how many show up in the titles of books I’ve read and want to read. Very interesting!
Happy TTT!
