1: A book with the letters A, T & Y in the title

So I went looking on my shelf and lo and behold the very first book on the top shelf was The AnaTomY of Hope. So there it is...
This will also be a good choice for me for work,because it will be interesting to discuss when my students learn about Loss, Death and Grief.

The Anatomy of Hope: How People Prevail in the Face of Illness

Side-note - like the "no 'e' in the title" prompt this year, I became mildly obsessed with finding titles that had these letters in them. It's worn off now, thank goodness.


The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
Where Sea Meets Sky
And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer
Jar City
Children of Earth and Sky
The Last Days of Night

Scrappy Little Nobody
The Rules Do Not Apply

Say What You Will

Agreed! This might be one that I wait until the end of the year to fill in because so many books fit in this topic!
I read Guernsey this year and it was wonderful! Highly recommend a re-read!

Exit, Pursued by a Bear is a really great book; I hope you enjoy it whenever you get to it. :)

I've heard good things so I'm excited to get to it!


A Conspiracy of Stars
Either of these!
Actually decided on Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine because it鈥檚 actually due at the library this week! Happy reading :)

I really enjoyed the book. I hope you do too.

I LOVE this series. I am working my way through book 4. They are so dear to my heart now.

Adulthood Is a Myth

I chose [book:History Is All You Left Me for this category

o Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day - Winifred Watson
o The Way We Live Now - Anthony Trollope
o The Grand Sophy - Georgette Heyer
o As You Like It - William Shakespeare
o The Way the Crow Flies - Ann-Marie MacDonald
I ended up choosing As You Like It to read. I am getting through the Shakespeare plays I didn't study in school slowly, and I find it a much more enjoyable experience. Plus, I kinda liked that it was the shortest title with these 3 letters on my TBR.





I've never read this, but we watched the movie every single damn end of term in high school. Honestly - twelve times in the three years at that particular high school.

Since I'm Danish I'm now very curious to hear what this book is about :-)

Also....loved The Day of the Triffids. Read it for High School. Still refuse to look at meteor showers. Vaguely remember seeing the movie once. The book was better.


The Agony and the Ecstasy: A Biographical Novel of Michelangelo by Irving Stone

I read this a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Hope you do too!
