  1. I love seeing On the Island. That was one where I couldn't stop thinking about the characters long after I finished the book.

  2. That's an interesting list. I've read the Murakami and the French entries, both of which were excellent.

  4. I had seen 'Kafka on the shore' many times and didn't really have a desire to read it but I'm still curious about it as Murakami's writing always has interesting ideas to think over.

    Have a lovely day.

    1. Murakami's writing always makes you think. And his stories are very unique.

  8. You did an excellent job finding titles with terms. I had a very difficult time with this task this week. Apparently I don't read many books with geographical terms. My list this week

    1. Some TTT lists are easier than others. When they're hard for me, I don't even try to do them. ;D

  14. You found some fun ones! I love the word "precipice" - it's just so evocative. Perfect for a mystery/thriller.

    Happy TTT!

  20. You have a lot of good ones here. I was just reminded of some books with reef in the title that I have read. Should have used them!

    1. They would have been good on this list! Oh, well... you can save them for another time. ;)

  21. Great job -- I haven't seen reef or precipice on any other lists this week! And I love that you included The Winter Sea -- I don't know why I didn't think of it, but I ended up with a different "sea" book instead.

    1. There are a lot of books with sea in the title to choose from; I went with Winter Sea only because I loved it so much.

  22. You found a good collection. Funnily enough, I have seen quite a few lists like this where I read the first book and none of the others. Like yours.

    Thanks for visiting my TTT this week.
