julesG @Butterfinger no idea about 4, but 17 is from the same author as 1 😉 5y
Blueberry @Butterfinger 4 was written in the 30's by a Southern author. 5y

HannaPolkadots 16, just figured out nr 4 thanks to @blueberry 's hint 😃 thanks! 5y
Eggs I got 21 5y
runswithscissors007 I'm struggling with 21. surly there is not a book called Booty island? (edited) 5y
runswithscissors007 oh my goodness! as soon as I read what I wrote I got it! I cannot stop laughing at myself! 5y
TheEllieMo I have 24 of them, but I take issue with number 19 as it‘s not the proper name of the book!! 5y
cathysaid Took me twenty minutes but I got them all! And the one that took me the longest (#9) is perhaps the most obvious 🤦‍♀️ 5y
Blueberry @TheEllieMo can you give me a hint on 19? 5y
Blueberry @runswithscissors007 I never got that one either but at least your 'island' makes more sense. I kept thinking 'bar'. 😀 5y
TheEllieMo @Blueberry large, famous place of worship in French capital 5y
Blueberry @TheEllieMo I got it now 😆. Thanks. 5y

Hrmmm, this is a tough one...

I like finding occurrences of a book's #TitleInTheText 📖 I may even backtrack in order to understand the significance of those words to the author or the story. The search feature in ebooks is very handy for finding all the instances. With print books, I make light pencil notations on the back endpaper. Does anyone else do this? Include #WhatsInAName in your post. Then, tag me -- @Donna_sBookMinute -- so I can read about your discovery.

Donna_sBookMinute You can also use the #TitleInTheText hashtag. Your choice. 8y
