You’ve got this!

rapunzelconfess

Starfish, Finna, Lore, Verity, Grown, Caraval (+ Legendary + Finale), Loveless, Watchmen, Squad


Witty_Telephone_2200

Middlesex is a must


Cactus_pose

This is cool! In the last year I only read a few… Counterfeit, Nudge, Majesty, Rivals, Deconstructed, Effortless, Less, Beartown. What an interesting idea.


piggygoeswee

Education, tangerine, hoot, roots, severance, Matilda, wonder, dune


DaliWasHere

Circe


Tortoise_Symposium

Hench is an interesting take on superheroes Nomadland was fantastic nonfiction. I still think about it sometimes. Devolution by Max Brooks is great, especially on audiobook N0S4A2 was fun Becoming by Michelle Obama was so good Bearskin by James Laughlin was interesting


examinedliving

Thanks for the Nomadland rec. I’ve been contemplated laying. NOS4A2 was definitely fun.


Tortoise_Symposium

I just got another one word title from the Princeton University Press sale. The sale is over but they may have another before the next season of releases. https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691138206/swindled


BillieAnnabeth

Crave, crush, covet, and charm all by Tracy Wolff


Tortoise_Symposium

Allergic is a middle grade graphic novel if you need a palette cleanser Spare by Prince Harry was interesting Gail Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate is all 1 word but it’s paranormal steampunk with a dash of romance. It’s a niche Horseman by Christina Henry is a horror sequel to Sleepy Hollow Jackal by Erin Abrams was quite good Hide by Kiersten White was creepy fun


Tortoise_Symposium

I found Metropolis by B. A. Shapiro when an indie near me had a sidewalk sale


Difficult-Product648

Blink


Rmcmahon22

I’d recommend: Radiance by Catherynne M Valente Embassytown by China Mieville Bloom by Wil McCarthy REAMDE by Neal Stephenson


The_Desdichado

Don’t forget Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson also


Rmcmahon22

Or Seveneves, for that matter. I’ve heard Anathem is amazing too. Man loves a single word title almost as much as he loves a digression!


a-username-for-me

I scrolled through all books I had read in the last five or six years. None of these suggestions have value judgements attached, but all should fit your parameters!

Lots have one name titles - Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth - The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini - Beloved by Toni Morrison I think this is a great idea!


noodlemonster68

Habeas-Opus

What a fantastic approach to the challenge! I can’t wait to see your full list.


AdvancedWater

Mary Roach has a few titles and she’s a fantastic and funny read. Stiff, Grunt, Bonk, Gulp, Spook, Fuzz. Stiff is her most popular for a reason (also don’t worry only one of those titles is about sex)

princess9032

Emma by Jane Austen


MesabiRanger

Do books with subtitles count?


bignibbles_

I recommend Trust!


CrowkyBowky

I'd recommend Wave by Sonali Deraniyagala!


tiliamoon

Such a cool idea! Would be fun to read the alphabet haha


AppleJackzo

This is really cool!!! Keeping it interesting


Lavendersunshinebaby

This is super creative!! I’m reading Vladimir right now which coincidentally fits your theme 😁


Grace2all

Gilead by Marilyne Robinson


Electronic_Effort884

Dune. Choke.


StarryEyes13

So fun! Can I contribute some reccs? - Beartown by Frederick Backman (technically the first in a series but works as a standalone) - Becoming by Michelle Obama - Pachinko by Min Jin Lee - Homegoing by Ya Gyasi Also, I haven’t ready it yet but I have Carrie by Stephen king on my TBR & since you’ve read It I’m going to throw that one out there as well. Good luck! ETA: my current read is Godkiller by Hannah Kaner which works nicely!


zazzle_frazzle

Loved Pachinko and Homegoing! I recommend Yaa Gyasi to everyone.


Specialist-Arrival91

This is such an awesome take on reading challenges. Here are some of my favorite one-word title books - Kindred by Octavia Butler Coma by Robin Cook Heard really nice reviews from friends about Babel by R.F Kuang. Happy reading, fren <3


ilivewithspiders

If you haven’t already read the Divergent series then you could knock out 3 books unless you are counting series as one book, other than that I recently picked up Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk and absolutely loved Horseman by Christina Henry


Arge101

That’s a great idea, I loved the divergent movies


ilivewithspiders

Adding onto this after glancing at my bookshelves: The Scythe Series includes 4 books (Scythe, Thunderhead, The Toll, and Gleanings) A few Stephen King books also include 1 word, Examples: Carrie, Cujo, Later, Joyland, etc. Recently picked up Mary by Nat Cassidy Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin Ring by Koji Suzuki Edit: Woom by Duncan Ralston is really good but also pretty disgusting, short read as well at 129 pages


pastaligious

You should read educated


GreenieSar

For some variety, check out Shrill (Lindy West), Nature (R.W. Emerson), Haven (Emma Donoghue), Mamo (Sas Milledge), Broken (Jenny Lawson), Mayflies (Andrew O'Hagan), Rodham (Curtis Sittenfeld), Eligible (Curtis Sittenfeld), Vida (Patricia Engel), Grass (Kerem Suk Gendry-Kim), Crudo (Olivia Laing), and Sourdough (Robin Sloan).


dogsbookstea

Highly recommend adding Piranesi to your list!


Arge101

Ooo thank you, I actually have that book somewhere and just haven’t read it


LieTechnical1662

i really like this interface, may i know which app is this?


Arge101

It’s called TBR - bookshelf. It doesn’t quite have the community of Goodreads but in my opinion, the reviews are far more helpful


LieTechnical1662

oh no, it's not for android :(((


LieTechnical1662

got it, its TBR!


eliz1865

Horse by Geraldine Brooks


mindbodysoul1024

I just picked up {Sourdough} from the library


pastaligious

That was so good! Weird but in a good way


Matt_in_together

Dune? Shogun? 1984? Imajica? If you’re looking for recommendations, I’d recommend those. That’s pretty cool idea though, one word titles. Does the word “the “ count? Like The Stand? Or The Road?


Arge101

I decided that ‘the’ or ‘a doesn’t count. The main reason being I want to read Nick Cutter’s ‘The Deep’ this year! Thanks for the recommendations!


Matt_in_together

Keep us posted yeah? On the books you’re reading.


Arge101

Will do


breemartin

I should’ve read this comment before I gave my recs lol I assumed “the” was a no go 🤣🤣


BookyCats

On my tbr: Moths/ Jane Hennigan VenCo Tampa Read ✅ : Circe Nightbitch Heartstopper series


rasberryfields4ever

Legend by Marie Yu. it’s on my tbr but i’ve heard good things. it’s a dystopian

Ooopsiedas

This is such a cool challenge! In case you need even more suggestions, some recent favorites of mine: - Piranesi by Susanna Clarke - Kindred by Octavia Butler - Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman If bylines don't count: - Cultish by Amanda Montell (a nonfiction book on how language has empowered cult-like organizations, haven't finished it yet but it's quite interesting so far)


BramStroker47

Recursion by Blake Crouch

German book titles are always so ridiculous :D


Cer-rific_43

I'm currently reading Becoming, by Michelle Obama, and loving it!


waukeecla

Ellen Hopkins books were fun as a teen (Crank, Glass, Burned, Impulse)


PunkandCannonballer

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman Grendel by John Gardner Circe by Madeline Miller Mort by Terry Pratchett Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay Palimpsest by Catherynne Valente Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer Embassytown by China Mieville Aaaand Hilda by Luke Pearson (heavily recommend the show as well)


UnspentTx

Neil Gaiman: Coraline, Stardust, Neverwhere


JackRabbit0084

Wow! Rock on! Personally I can't imagine restricting myself in that way (I'm a read-on-a-whim person), but I admire your discipline and commitment!


Arge101

I’m just trying to get away having a goal that is solely around number of books read. I’m trying to slow down a little. I thought I would struggle to find books but my TBR list is packed with candidates. It will help to thin out the herd a little. I’m also not super obsessed with ‘only’ reading single word titles, I’m just interested to see how far I can get


Accomplished-Goat318

peach_burrito

Educated


GimmieGnomes

This is super cool. Like other commenters, I also went through my read list to find one word titles. Sabriel by Garth Nix (the first of a trilogy that all have one word titles) Horns by Joe Hill Emma by Jane Austen


jhmarsh77

Stephen King: Firestarter, Carrie, Misery, Cell, Christine


Ooopsiedas

Also Dreamcatcher - it's a long one and kind of polarizing, but I actually quite liked it! ((Can't recommend Misery enough though, it's one of my top Stephen King books that I've read so far!))


Fun-Boss-9021

Desperation, Blaze, Joyland, Revival, Elevation, Later


[deleted]

It, Cujo


kd4444

Kaikeyi and Swamplandia! could be good additions to your TBR list!


3kota

Here are some I loved. They are all over the place - young adult, literary, comics, fantasy. I skipped picture books Lolita / Nabokov Flamer / mike Curato Rook / Daniel O’Malley Unimpressed / Miranda Traccia Hatchet / Gary Paulsen Daydreamer / Ian McEwan Foster / Claire Keegan Jagganath / Karin Tidbeck


Kalepopsicle

Just hearing the title “Lolita” stirs something in my heart. The narrator is a god awful person but the writing and the richness of the plot are just so captivating.


readingbabe

Lolita wasn’t for me. I read it and just thought everything about it was horrible. There wasn’t any redeeming traits


Kalepopsicle

TBH I think it helped that I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Jeremy Irons. Such a fantastic narrator

Thank you so much <3 Also why is it by Jordan Peterson? Lmao


njsam

Lol right?


liliBonjour

Neat challenge! If you want suggestions : - Terry Pratchett has a few 1-word titles : Jingo, Hogfather, Mort, probably more... - Em - Ru -Kukum -Kintu (really enjoyed this book!) -Siddhartha And if you read graphic novels : - Pyongyang, Shenzhen or Hostage - Boxers and Saints


PunkandCannonballer

Seconding Pratchett.


[deleted]

I just downloaded storygraph. How did you set this up?


Arge101

This is an app called TBR - bookshelf


[deleted]

I don’t think this is StoryGraph. StoryGraph has three books in the logo and this one has four.


[deleted]

Oh good catch, thanks!


Ok-Candle-20

Robin Cook has almost exclusively single word titles.


RogerandLadyBird

Wool?


Arge101

Read Wool last year. Loved it!


ReacherSaid_

No series then?


UnspentTx

The _Divergent_ trilogy (a personal fav of mine!)


GimmieGnomes

Unless the series all had one word titles! The Abhorsen series by Garth Nix all have one word titles. Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen. Edit: the Wool trilogy also has one word titles (Wool/Shift/Dust).


Arge101

I read Wool last year (which is why I read sand this year) but will probably tick off the other Silo books this year.


lumierelove

Some single word titles on my TBR: Dracula Middlemarch Moby-Dick Dune Passing Killingly Commonwealth 1984 (does this count?) Slaughterhouse-Five Nightbitch Betty Hester Circe Emma Middlesex


Express-Rise7171

I came to Say Nightbitch, Betty, Lapvona and Bunny


Flat-Sun-5134

All of Mary Roaches are single word titles I think! And the best non fiction reads!
