Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that currently resides at The Artsy Reader Girl and features bloggers sharing lists on various book topics. For this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, participants are tasked with listing books with single-word titles.
It turns out that I have read quite a few such books in the last couple of years, and I was actually a little surprised by how many there were. In order to cull this list down to 10, I decided to focus on the best single-word title books I have featured on this blog and go from there. Many of the entries on this list were amongst some of the best books I have read in recent years, and most of them have featured on my Top Ten Books lists for 2018 and 2019.
I may have been a bit cheeky and added in more than then 10 books on this list. In instances where authors decided to give every book in their series a single-word title, I may have blended a few books together into one entry, especially if I loved each of the books in the series equally. I have also included a rather generous Honourable Mentions section as well, just to showcase how many amazing single-word title books have recently been published. While this is cheating somewhat, I think it makes this list more interesting so I’m sticking with it.
Honourable Mentions:
Timeless/Boundless by R. A. Salvatore
Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett
Top Ten List (No Particular Order):
Eragon/Eldest/Brisingr/Inheritance by Christopher Paolini
Skyward/Starsight by Brandon Sanderson
Planetside/Spaceside by Michael Mammay
Salvation by Peter F. Hamilton
And that rounds out my latest Top Ten list. I think it turned out pretty well, and there is an interesting range of different novels there. Let me know which of the above novels you enjoyed as well as what your favourite books with single-word titles are in the comments below.
The Unseen Library 
FYI: The ebooks for both “Timeless” and “Boundless” are on sale! I’ll be waiting for your reviews on these books!
