Sorry I missed last week, folks! It was a heckuva week, for sure. Anyway, this week is a bit like a scavenger hunt for me, because I’m not sure I can actually think of books I like with colours in their titles… so I’m going to survey my shelves for whatever I can find.
- Red, White & Royal Blue, by Casey McQuiston. I haven’t read this one, and I really really want to.
- The Silver Branch, by Rosemary Sutcliff. This I have read, of course, though I wish I could find the editions I had as a kid. I read ’em to pieces, though The Eagle of the Ninth was my favourite.
- The Boy in the Red Dress, by Kristin Lambert. A recent acquisition, so one I haven’t read yet. It looks so fun, though!
- Black Leopard, Red Wolf, by Marlon James. I haven’t read it yet, and I’m not entirely sure it’s going to be my thing based on reviews… but I’m eager to give it a go.
- Black Sun, by Rebecca Roanhorse. Okay, this is actually on my wishlist and not on my shelves because it’s not out yet.
- All Systems Red, by Martha Wells. Oh, Murderbot. <3
- Redemption in Indigo, by Karen Lord. I’ve been meaning to reread this, I remember loving it but not much about it.
- The Black God’s Drums, by P. Djèlí Clark. Loved this novella so much!
- The Ballad of Black Tom, by Victor LaValle. I was less of a fan of this Lovecraft retelling, but it kinda sticks in my head!
- A Pale Light in the Black, by K.B. Wagers. Another one that’s on my TBR but which I haven’t read yet…
As you can see, I have a TBR problem, insofar as that can be considered a problem!
How’d everyone else do with the scavenger hunt? Or could you think of enough books with colours in the title that you could pick out your favourites? I’m looking forward to seeing all the obvious ones I’ve missed…
Redemption in Indigo sounds like such a good read!
My TTT .

I really loved it! 🙂 I wish I remembered more about it, it’s so weird how little I retained…
I’d like to read The Silver Branch. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday
Rosemary Sutcliff wrote such great historical fiction, I do recommend it! Though The Eagle of the Ninth was always my favourite. 🙂
I went with colours from my TBR, but I could have had a top ten just using titles with red in them – Murderbot included, naturally. I share your suspicions about Black Leopard, Red Wolf, but I’m dying to read Black Sun.

Mine had a lot of black! I guess my shelves are more goth than I ever was. :p
All Systems Red, whoo!
Who doesn’t love a bit of Murderbot? 😀
Yay for Murderbot haha! A Pale Light in the Black is amazing too.

I’ve read Murderbot. Must get back to that series. Great list and thanks for visiting my TTT 🙂

It’s a great series! I still need to finish reading the novel, though…

I really enjoyed Rebecca Roanhorse’s previous writing, even if I wasn’t totally on board with the plots, so I reaaaally look forward to Black Sun. Glad to hear I’m not the only one! 😀
