It's always good to have an exit strategy; but I would prefer Four Quartets...

Look to Windward is one of my favourite Banks, I had even forgotten or didnt know they were from the Wasteland. Stars In My Pocket Like Grains of Sand is one that always sounded poetic to me.

thanks for letting me know about the real name of this tag! I personally thought that the “shocking title” was the hardest one to come up with. Depending on the kind of books one reads, it can be really hard for a title to shock someone… especially if someone has a steady diet of true crime books. Which suddenly makes me realize that I could have put “Hell’s Princess” (about a murderess whose name I can’t remember) down as a shocking title; I couldn’t bring myself to finish the book… possibly I tried reading it too soon after “Devil in the White City”… which would have also fit this prompt. I should have watched your video before making mine. Your mentioning true crime reminded me that I have actually picked up some books with. some legitimately shocking titles. Since you don’t tend to re-read, are you more inclined to read library books instead of amassing a collection of them?

Afraid not, I do have a collection! There will be ones I will, at some point, want to return to. For most of the rest, onto eBay they go!

@@GenreBooks23 well, if you are even possibly one of the reasons I find good book deals on eBay, I thank you. 🙃
