Rubbing Stones | 
I like finding the first (sometimes only) occurrence of the title in the text. It gives me something to try wrap events around. Most times, there's only the one mention; and I'm left wondering what these words meant to the author. Surely there'll be more mentions of "rubbing stones" in this story. Does anybody else do this? #TitleInText #WhatsInAName?
BookishFeminist I love finding the title in a book! Helps me give meaning to the characters and events & what the author deems important. 8y
Alfoster Me too! 8y
Donna_sBookMinute @BookishFeminist, @Alfoster -- when I come across the title of a book in the text, I reread it, noting any combination of who said or thought it, the setting, time, emotional climate . . . No telling what's hidden in the words or phrase. 8y

Ms_Ashley I've never done this, but it sounds exciting. Is the title always found in your experience? 8y
Donna_sBookMinute @Ms_Ashley -- not always. In fact, most times not. Then I'm left wondering why the book was named that way. That's probably why I get so excited when it does happen. 8y
Ms_Ashley @Donna_sBookMinute haha, great point. I'm always wondering why a book was named that way. Thank you, you've given me a new game to add to my reading! 8y
