This week’s topic is ‘Freebie (come up with your own topic!)’ so I had a quick look through some of the topics from just before I started playing along in February and picked Books with Names/Character Names In the Titles
Anne Rice – The Vampire Lestat
JK Rowling – Harry Potter & The Prisoner Of Azkaban
Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett – Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Bram Stoker – Dracula
Diana Wynne Jones – Archer’s Goon
Marian Keyes – Rachel’s Holiday (which reminds me, haven’t read the sequel yet!)
Stephen King – Carrie
Rick Riordan – Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
Ian Mortimer – 1415: Henry V’s Year Of Glory
Jenny Colgan – Looking For Andrew McCarthy
Interestingly, SO many of the books I was coming up with while putting this list together were kids books – Matilda, George’s Marvellous Medicine, James and the Giant Peach, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, The Jolly Postman, Please Mrs Butler, Stig Of The Dump, Prince Caspian, The Hobbit, Sabriel and so on!
And also classics – Oliver Twist, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, Anne of Green Gables, Tom Sawyer, Sherlock Holmes, Alices Adventures In Wonderland, Peter Pan, Romeo & Juliet etc etc!
Nice topic! I love this.
There are a lot of kid books with names in the title! I never really noticed that until just now. 😀
Good Omens is an all time favorite – it made my list this week too. 🙂
I loved Good Omens! Have you seen the miniseries based on it?
