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?
This week’s theme was such a struggle, and now I instantly regret not just throwing caution to the wind and whacking Coldtown on my list, too! I love that book so much. Great list!
Lol. I debated about adding Coldtown to my list for so long. I decided that since “town” qualifies “Coldtown” would too. 😀
Dune yeah! Even if I wasn’t a super big fan of the books I always love the cover art! And Jurassic PArk!!!
Lol. I love the cover art for Dune too. There are so many covers available and I really love what some designers choose to highlight on each. I even like the cover to the B&N leather bound edition, which is the copy I own, but I think the one I have been showing on my blog is my favorite! 😀 The only thing that would make it better is if a sandworm were on it.
I also love the covers for Jurassic Park and The Lost World, non-movie editions. They’re so iconic!
I think I know whcih edition you’re talking about from B&N, and it is nice
Ooh the Artemis Fowl one is a clever one, would never have thought of that, but of course arctic is a geographical term! I loved that series 🙂
My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2022/09/13/top-ten-tuesday-385/
I’ve only read the first two books of the series. I’d like to read the rest after I reread those first two since I read them back in 2007! Lol. 😀
Great list! You’re the second person I’ve seen that included Dread Nation and I’m totally kicking myself for missing that one because it’s such a good book!
Thanks, Leah! 😀 I almost missed Dread Nation too, but then I double-checked to make sure “nation” counted, lol.
Love your choice of titles and how gorgeous are those covers!
Thanks, Suzanne! 😀 I love the covers of these books too.
Well done! I found todays topic a bit challenging as well. but, like you, I got there in the end
Thanks, Wendy! 😀 Challenging prompts are nice every now and then … just not every week. LOL.
Great list! I love that you included Dune!
Thanks, Lisa! 😀 I was really excited that Dune qualified. It’s my all-time favorite book.
I was surprised how many titles I found with geographical terms in them. It’s something I’ve never really paid attention to before, but apparently I’m very drawn to these kinds of titles. Who knew? From your list, I’ve read THE HOLLOW CITY, JURASSIC PARK, and DREAD NATION. I *think* I’ve read THE COLDEST GIRL IN COLDTOWN, but I’m not totally sure…curse my aging memory!
Happy TTT!

That’s awesome that you gravitate towards books with geographical terms. I wonder if it’s because you read a lot of mysteries and thrillers? Aging memories are a problem, aren’t they? Too bad there’s no way around it. LOL.
Yes, I do think that has a lot to do with it. There are TONS of mystery/thrillers set near lakes, oceans, rivers, or in the mountains/hills, etc. I find a lot of historical fiction titles have geographical terms in the titles as well.
I obviously need to read more of both genres for prompts like this, lol.
I was just thinking of the Artemis Fowl books the other day! Such a fun series.
I’ve only read the first two books of Artemis Fowl. I’d like to read the rest of the series. 😀 I’ll need to reread then first two books, though, because I read them back in 2007.
I like how you included “compass!”
Thanks, Deb! 😀 I’m glad it qualifies so I could use it.
Dune is a great one!
Thanks! 😀 I’m glad it worked. Dune is my all-time favorite book.
This is a very “famililar” list for me. I have read “Mansfield Park” (as well as all other Jane Austen books, of course), my eldest son read “The Golden Compass” when he was little, they both read “Artemis Fowl”, and my youngest wanted “Dune” for Christmas last year.
Thanks for visiting my TTT this week.
I’m glad my list resonated so much with you, Marianne! 😀
Ooh, arctic is a great one and I was sad that I didn’t have any books with that term on my read list 😂 Compass is also another term that I didn’t see on anyone’s list this week. Great picks! 😃
Thanks, Dini! 😀 I was excited when I remembered both books. They’re definitely my two most interesting words, lol.
I worried I wouldn’t have enough titles for this prompt either, but I figured it out. I’m glad you did too.
You’ve got a lot of titles with such interesting terms that I didn’t even think of, like Dread Nation and Jurassic Park/Jurassic World. Awesome!
Thanks! It was hard, but like you, I got there in the end. 😀 I’d never have thought of them either if I hadn’t used Jana’s link, lol.
Great list! I really like that cover for A River Enchanted. And I love that you found a book with “arctic” in the title! I’m not sure that one would have occurred to me. Thanks for visiting my TTT earlier!
I also love the cover for A River Enchanted. The cover for its sequel is just as gorgeous. 😀 Arctic wouldn’t have occurred to me either if I hadn’t used Jana’s link, lol.
