2026 Buzzword Title Challenge: Finished!

[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 -- Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger
MARCH: "This" & "That" -- This Is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay
APRIL: Ordinal numbers -- Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
MAY: "Make" -- Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up by Dave Barry
JUNE: One-word title -- Embedded by Dan Abnett
JULY: Occupations -- The Last Bookseller by Gary Goodman
AUGUST: Groups & clubs -- The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi
SEPTEMBER: "Me" & "My" -- My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite
OCTOBER: Parts of a house -- Come Through Your Door by Carlene O'Connor
NOVEMBER: Instructional title -- Be True by Stella Starling
DECEMBER: Superlatives -- I'm Your Biggest Fan by Kate Coyne

Woo-hoo! You beat me to it -- I still need "Groups & Clubs" and "Parts of a House." :)

I lucked out on those. I already had a copy of The Kaiju Preservation Society that I hadn't read yet (and also The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club), and Come Through Your Door came across my desk to catalog (it sounded interesting but was firmly mediocre).

I'm struggling with 'border' and 'damage' on the other card.
