10 Books with One Word Titles for A RAD Reading Challenge

There’s just something about a one word title that I love — no need to get complicated, just short and sweet and straight to the point. They seem pretty rare, too, or maybe I just don’t read that many?! But I rounded up 10 solid recommendations for books with one word titles that I’ve read and liked! A few of my recs are geared toward a young adult audience if that interests you, especially since Jenn Duell, the teen librarian at the Richmond Public Library, is joining us and sharing YA recommendations on the Shelf Respect blog each month and Jenn will be completing A RAD Reading Challenge with all YA reads

ps— if you missed it, here is A RAD Reading Challenge for 2022, and you can find the printable version and Instagram story versions here. About once a month, I’ll be sharing recommendations for the different prompts to help give you inspiration and ideas for what to read.

And now, on to the recommendations!
