I’m linking up with Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog!
Today’s prompt is fun: books with colors in the title. I typed in the word “black” in my media library and quite a few books came up. I decided to feature all books with the word “black” in the title since I had so many to choose from. Now technically, I know black isn’t a color. But let’s just go with it, OK?
BLACK
I thought of Black Christmas, an older (and scary!) book.

Ooh that’s a good one:-)
I love all the books you have showcased! And I love how you interpreted this week’s prompt! It’s refreshingly different!
Here’s my post: https://bibliosini.com/books-with-colors-in-the-titles-top-ten-tuesday/ in case you feel like checking it out!
Thanks Hasini!
I’ll add The Black Prism by Brent Weeks. I loved Sisters of the Vast Black and also really enjoyed Black City Saint. Several others here I’d like to try.
Black Prism is a good one, the choices seem to be endless:-)
I just thought of Black City by Elizabeth Richards! 🙂

There are so many “black” books, right?
Great list! I’m so excited for Black Sun, and The Lady from the Black Lagoon, Sisters of the Vast Black and How Long ‘Til Black Future Month? are all on my TBR.

I’ve only read Sisters of the vast Black, and it was amazing!
I have one book with black on my list: The Woman in Black.
Here is my TTT: https://ichlese.blog/2020/08/04/top-ten-tuesday-horror-books-with-colors-in-their-title/.
Ooh that’s a good one!
Fun to see your list — I ended up going with just one color as well (blue). Besides a few of the ones already on your list, I’ve read Black Cat (Edgar Allan Poe), Black Juice (Margo Lanagan), and The Woman in Black (Susan Hill). Fun topic!
It was a fun topic. It makes me want to try this with other colors:-)
I can’t wait to read Black Sun. It’s going to be awesome.
I agree, I’ve already been hearing amazing things:-)
Black Leopard, Red Wolf is a book I’ve been meaning to read since it’s release!
In your list, I’m the most excited about Black Sun, I also really want to read How Long ‘Till Black Future Month even if I find Jemisin short fiction very hit or miss.

I’ve heard some mixed things about Black Leopard, Red Wolf, but I’m still curious.
I really ought to read How Long Till Black Future Month soon.
My TTT .
I’ve read a few stories and it’s really good:-)
Love your list, Tammy! One more black title on my radar is Blacktop Wasteland. I am really looking forward to it.
Ooh I just bought a copy of Blacktop Wasteland! I hear it’s amazing:-)
So many pretty covers
I really enjoyed Black City Saint! I’m surprised I’ve not read the rest in the series yet!
I can’t believe I still haven’t read Black City Saint! I always hear really good things about it.
Love your choices! I only had one book with black in the title on my list. 🙂

Thanks Lark!
These covers are AMAZING. I especially love the cover of Black Levithan!

It’s pretty, isn’t it? I love purple books:-)
Great list, haven’t read any of them…lol.
I haven’t read them all:-)
Ooh, I wish I’d known about this theme, I would have tried it! Maybe I’ll try it anyway and do it like one of those A-Z type challenges, but see if I can go for colors of the rainbow using my “read” shelf 😀
A very interesting way to approach this week’s meme: I like your choice of focusing on a single color, and I’m amazed at the number of books you found! 🙂

Great list! I can’t wait to read Black Sun–It looks amazing. 🙂
Great way to go with the theme, and of course I had The Woman in Black on my list
Lynn 😀
Black Sun made my list this week too. I had never really noticed how many books have black in the title but wow, it’s a lot!
Ooo… what a fabulous post – don’t they look PRETTY together?? The only other one I could come up with is A Blight of Blackwings – but I know there are heaps more… Love the idea of the cover montages – they do look lovely!
I’m impressed that you came up with so many books with black in the title just from looking at your library. xD A couple of these are in mine, too, like Black Sun. I’m really wanting to read How Long ‘Til Black Future Month, too. And yeeees, Black Leviathan! You still need to read that, yo. 😉 I actually just lent that copy to my coworker … come to think of it, yes, we might have a problem, considering we both work in a library and yet we’re still passing personal books back and forth instead of reading the darn library books we have out already. Not the point.
Black works for me. So many of these I want to read,especially those first 3.
