  1. Oh wow, you don't realise how many all share similar titles until they're next to one another. I often wonder if it's not because it's related to the narrative, because some titles are completely baffling, but are publishers pushing towards using these buzz words in titles to draw from the success of other books. Fire, stars, night, queen is probably another too. Really interesting girls, really enjoyed your post <3

  2. I definitely see these words all the time! Blood and anything girl/daughter/wife are SO common. Your lists are so on target, haha.

  3. OOh nice picks!! I found it harder to pick multiple words to choose multiple titles! I guess it was just too overwhelming! Lol! Great picks here!

    Here's my Tuesday Post

  4. I decided to skip this topic this week. It was way too time consuming for me! Nice selection of covers though.
