Ten One-Word Book Titles

Back in March I was offered the challenge of coming up with a list of favorite books with one-word titles. I never got around to posting my list. Oops. But here it is now.

1. “Coraline” by Neil Gaiman (favorite one-word Gaiman)
2. “Heidi” by Johanna Spyri (children’s classic)
3. “Grass” by Sheri S. Tepper (for people who like thoughtful and slightly disturbing science fiction)
4. “Nemesis” by Agatha Christie (one of Christie’s best Miss Marple mysteries)
5. “Horns” by Joe Hill (for the horror crowd)
6. “Emma” by Jane Austen (for the Austen crowd)
7. “Dune” by Frank Herbert (must-read sci-fi)
8. “Matilda” by Roald Dahl (children’s classic)
9. “Holes” by Louis Sachar (surprisingly sweet YA novel)
10. “Bluebeard” by Kurt Vonnegut (favorite one-word Vonnegut)
