A One Word Title Alphabet

I saw this on Joanne’s blog and on Janette’s blog and wondered if I could fill the alphabet with one word titles too. I’ve limited myself to books that I have read and came up with 25. There is one book that I own but haven’t read yet and guess what – it begins with the letter X. I haven’t read any one word books beginning with Z.

Most of them are crime and historical fiction and the links take you to my reviews – some are parts of posts about different books.

A is for Awakening by S J Bolton

B is for Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates

C is for Conclave by Robert Harris

D – Daphne by Margaret Forster

E – Exit by Belinda Bauer

F – Fludd by Hilary Mantel

G – Greenmantle by John Buchan

H – Heartstone by C J Sansom

I – Inland by Tea Obreht

J – Joyland by Stephen King

K – Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson

L – Lamentation by C J Sansom

M – Macbeth by Jo Nesbo

N – Nero by Conn Iggulden

O – Orlando by Virginia Woolf

P – Prophecy by S J Parris

Q – Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain – if you disregard the subtitle!

R – Revelation by C J Sansom

S – Sanditon by Jane Austen

T – Tantalus by Jane Jazz

U – Underworld by Reginald Hill

V – Vengeance by Benjamin Black

W – Wakenhyrst by Michelle Paver

X – Xingu by Edith Wharton – one of my TBRs

Y – Yoga by Ernest Wood

Z – no books with one word titles

Have you read any of these books? Would you be able to make an alphabet
of books with one word titles that you have read?

  1. Fabulous! Loved reading your choices and good work! I think I’ve only read a couple of yours Conclave and Kidnapped. Although I may have read one of the CJ Samson books as I’ve read some of those.

  2. Well done, Margaret! I’d be hard put to come up with so many titles! Your choices are excellent, too. And now I’ve got a post to come back to when I’m ready for ‘what book to read next.’

  3. Love this list. I nearly had Conclave on my list too but changed my mind. I’ve read quite a few of these and loved all of the C J Sansome books. I had forgotten that S J Parris has quite a few one word titles probably because I get them from the library and so they aren’t on my shelves.

  4. I saw this first at Portobello Book Blog (Joanne) and was inspired to create one of my own, but I haven’t completed it yet. Interesting how X and Z are the hard ones. I have a title that I have read for X (XPD by Len Deighton), although I assume XPD is an acronym. I read it a while ago.

    Yours is a good list but I have read only one of them (Underworld).
