Top Ten Books
with Geographical Terms in the Title
TTT for September 12, 2022
#TopTenTuesday
📚 📚 📚
Funny, I thought I would quickly find 10 titles for this theme, just going through my list of books read by descending chronological order, but in fact, I had to go back to August 2021 to be able to find ten of them!
I’m happy with the diversity of geographical terms I harvested:
alley, archipelago, hollow, mountains, pond, river (2), street, village, woods
And here are the links to those I have reviewed:
Midaq Alley
The Archipelago of Another Life (review and read-along, with Q&A)
No Woods So Dark As These
At the Mountains of Madness
River of Stars
A River Runs Through It
The Village of Eight Graves
Have YOU read
or are YOU planning to read any of these?
Please leave the link to your own post,
so I can visit.

Doing a Top Ten list like this is, for me, almost like trying to work a crossword puzzle. Initially, it always seems like it’s going to be easy, but…
You get bonus points for “archipelago!”

Hi Emma! You found some great titles! The archipelago one is definitely worth mentioning.
The last house on Needless Street is on my TBR for this year’s Fraterfest.
Thanks for the earlier visit, I hope the rest of your week will be good.

I clicked through on several of your links and had to email myself the links so I could go back and research them better (I’m at work :)) Great list and I love seeing your recommendations because they’re so out of my “norm”.

I wanted to read A River Runs Through It after watching the movie, but my e-library weirdly only had it as a PDF, so scratch that.
A browse through my “read” list this year yields:
Streams in the Wasteland
Black Water Sister
Over Sea, Under Stone
Midstream
Journey to the River Sea
The Dragonfly Pool
I’ve been on a watery theme it appears!

I just sent you the ebook A River Runs Through It, through email.
Nice watery list!
Midstream makes me think of Upstream. Have you read it? Excellent: Upstream: Selected Essays, by Mary Oliver

Thanks, I have heard this is such a beautifully written book — I will look forward to reading it!
I have not read Upstream but I’ll look for that too. Midstream is Helen Keller’s book about her later life — interesting if all you know about is the “Miracle Worker” part.

Such an interesting mix of different geographical features. I only concentrated on the one, mountains (and hills).
I have only read one of your books, the very first one. Great literature!
