2026 Buzzword Title Challenge: February Update

[the_other_sandy]

This challenge is being run by BooksandLala. The challenges don't have to be completed in order or in the month they're assigned.

There is a color version of this card, but it's a shade of pink that is going to clash wildly with the covers of all my books, so I grabbed the black and white option instead.




JANUARY: "Before" & "After" -- Nothing Good Happens After Midnight by Phillip Tomasso III
FEBRUARY: Keyboard keys
MARCH: "This" & "That" -- This Is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay
APRIL: Ordinal numbers
MAY: "Make"
JUNE: One-word title
JULY: Occupations -- The Last Bookseller by Gary Goodman
AUGUST: Groups & clubs -- The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi
SEPTEMBER: "Me" & "My"
OCTOBER: Parts of a house
NOVEMBER: Instructional title -- Be True by Stella Starling
DECEMBER: Superlatives -- I'm Your Biggest Fan by Kate Coyne

You're making good progress!

So far I've been doing the ones where I knew exactly which book I was going to read for a category. Progress will slow as I get to the harder ones. I went through my TBR and amazingly don't have a single book with "me" or "my" in the title. I don't think I have anything for "make" either. Oh, well. I have 7 months to find something.

I'm having a harder time with the titles than with covers. I read "My Sister the Werebeast," a fairly cute graphic novel, but I don't have anything for "make" either. Let me know if you want recommendations for anything though!

I have an easier time with titles because (a) my TBR is huge, and (b) there are handy keywords to search with. Covers require that I just start scrolling through my lengthy TBR looking at every single cover for something that fits.
