Top Ten Tuesday #34
Books with Geographical Terms in the Title
This week’s prompt is “Books with Geographical Terms in the Title.” My first thought when I saw the prompt was, I’m not sure how many books I’ve read qualify. I used Jana’s link to geographical terms, cross-checked it with every book I’ve marked as Read on Goodreads, and I found ten books. I haven’t read some of these books since 2007 or earlier! Anyway, here’s what I found:
What about you? Which books did you find with geographical terms in the title? Do we have any in common?
Great list and picks for this week’s fun prompt. I also added a Mortal Instrument book, but I pick my favorite out of the 3 I read: City of Glass. A River Enchanted is on my TBR which is why it didn’t make the list.

Have a great week 😀
Thanks, Rae! 😀 I really love City of Glass too. It was my favorite of the first three. I hope you enjoy A River Enchanted when you get to it.
Great mix of books – Dune made my list too. I can’t believe I didn’t think of Dread Nation! I have A River Enchanted on my shelves but I’ve yet to get to it.

That’s awesome that Dune made your list. 😀 Dune is my all-time favorite book. I hope you enjoy reading A River Enchanted when you get to it!
Oh wow, I hardly ever see The Coldest Girl in Coldtown mentioned. I loved that one and always felt like it didn’t get the attention it deserved.
I don’t see it on lists very often either. I almost missed it for this week too, but then realized “town” would work. I really enjoyed this book too. I wish it was a series. 😀
I love how you included an Artemis Fowl book. I loved that series.

I’ve only read the first two books in the Artemis Fowl series. I’d like to read the whole series. I just need to take the time. 😀 It’s been so long since I’ve read the first two books, though. I read them back in 2007.
A great list. I think that they qualify ☺️
Have a great week!

Thanks, Emily! 😀 I spent a lot of time going through my books and cross-checking them with Jana’s link to geographical terms, lol.
Hey, you did great this week!
Thanks, Jordyn! 😀 I tried, lol.
I almost included Mansfield Park, but preferred to go with ones I had read instead! I don’t think it’ll be a Jane Austen I read in a hurry – I’m very tempted by Persuasion next! I did read Artemis Fowl when I was younger but didn’t really get on with it!

Mansfield Park is the first Jane Austen book I ever read. I really enjoyed it. I liked it much better than Persuasion. To each their own, right? 😀 My favorite Austen novel is Northanger Abbey, though. I still haven’t read Emma or Sense and Sensibility yet so we’ll see if that holds.
Someday I really should read Dune!

I hope you do and I hope you love it like I do. 😀
These are great and eclectic choices! I’ve read several of them!
Thanks, Margaret! 😀 Lists that have to do with covers are always much more eclectic because I choose qualifying books over preferential affection.
I never would have thought of Mansfield Park. I tried to stay relatively current and used the linked Wikipedia list for words so I really struggled to fill in this list. Sigh. I should have taken a more relaxed approach. 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
I tried to stay current too, but I had a very hard time even finding books that qualified. I also used Jana’s link and cross-checked it with every single book marked as Read on Goodreads. It took almost an hour. LOL. 😀
You found a great selection of books this week! I’ve only read City of Heavenly Fire from your list.
Thanks, Lindsey! It look a lot of digging to find these, lol. 😀
I had to tweak the topic just a bit to give me better focus, otherwise, I would have been working on the post all day! Nice list! https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2022/09/top-ten-tuesday-authors-that-gravitate.html
Lol. I understand. It took me an hour to come up with my list. I cross-checked every book I marked as Read on Goodreads with Jana’s link. I’m very happy I found ten books. 😀
The Hollow City looks interesting!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
It was very interesting. I really liked the concept. I wish it were part of a series. 😀
Love your list…especially that you included both Mansfield Park and Jurassic Park! What a fun combination! 😀
Thanks, Lark! 😀 I really tried to find books that used different terms, but I had a hard time so I have “city” and “park” twice. Mansfield Park and Jurassic Park do make an interesting juxtaposition, don’t they?
OOoh nice picks! I’m seeing some with terms and of course now I’m thinking, I HAD A TITLE WITH THAT! Lol! It was so hard to think of things I mostly searched for Jana’s examples as well!
Thanks for visiting my TTT!
LOL. I felt the same when I went around commenting on other blogs. I definitely should’ve done a twist, but I am glad I still came up with 10 books. 😀
