4. “The Art of Racing in the Rain” by Garth Stein

Genre: Realistic Fiction

This is one of the few books I read in college that I wasn’t required to read for a class (my reading really dropped off while I was in college). I think part of what motivated me to read it was the title! It sounds almost poetic, and the cute dog on the cover doesn’t hurt either!

5. “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan” by Lisa See

Genre: Historical Fiction

This is another one that invokes a sense of intrigue and mystery. And it’s one of my all-time favorite books!

6. “Call Me By Your Name” by Andre Aciman

Genre: Romance

Before I read this book, the pronoun usage in the title always kind of confused me. Why would you want someone to call you by their name and not your own? Now that I’ve read the book I understand, but before picking it up this title definitely stuck with me and spiked my curiosity!

7. “Simon Vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda” by Becky Albertalli

8. “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini

Genre: Realistic Fiction

I love the imagery this title evokes. It’s just beautiful! And it’s a beautiful story as well; one of my all-time favorites.

9. “Rain Reign” by Ann M. Martin

Genre: Realistic Fiction (Middle Grade)

I love the word play in this one! In this book, the main character is very interested in homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently). It’s a unique title, and the word play makes it very memorable!

10. “Where the Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens

Genre: Mystery

This is one that evokes interesting imagery and is also very intriguing. Imagining the sounds of crawdads “singing” immediately lets you know that the setting will involve nature in an important way, and it’s also likely down South since that’s where crawdads are most abundant. It’s a unique and memorable title to be sure!
