This post will be short and sweet, but titles are something that give me joy! And these days, I take any little piece of joy I can get. For this I specifically chose “long” book titles, which I defined to myself to be longer than five words. I was going to do many different lengths but the post was kinda getting out of hand haha.

Sometimes book titles are very obvious in how they connect to the story, and sometimes they have like a secret meaning that you don’t get until you read further in. I love both styles of title! How do authors come up with such amazing titles? I feel like it’s a gift. Anyway enough of me rambling about titles, here’s my list of favs!

• The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (by Becky Chambers)
• The House in the Cerulean Sea (by T.J. Klune, my review here)
• Down Among the Sticks and Bones (by Seanan McGuire, Shari’s review here)
• The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (by Robert Louis Stevenson)
• When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain (by Nghi Vo, my review here)
• The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water (by Zen Cho)
• A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe (by Alex White, my review here)
• The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (by Douglas Adams)
• The Only Thing Worse Than Me is You (by Lily Anderson)
• An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth (by Chris Hadfield)
