What's in a Name 5: Topographical Feature

Here's the place to link up your reviews of books with a topographical feature (land formation) in the title.

If you don't have a blog or don't write reviews, please mark your progress in the comments.

If Mr. Linky ever disappears, just leave a comment or come back and link up later. Or email me (see contact icons in the sidebar) and I'll add your link when Mr. Linky is fixed.

    Finished my first - hope "harbor" counts as a topographical feature! The review's on Goodreads, hopefully that works.

    Oops! Sorry gave the wrong link first time. Hope Undertow is a topographical feature.

    This is my first link up. Sand in the title, hope that would be considered topographical. Thanks, this is fun!

    My second book for this challenge, and this one was the toughest - I don't have a lot of books with topographical features in the title. But this one definitely fits the bill: The Vesuvius Club, by Mark Gatiss. After all, there's no rule against using the proper name of a particular topographical feature. ;)

    My topographical feature was island: "Treasure Island"

    I'm pretty new to book reviewing like this so all constructive feedback is welcome :)

    I hope that "pond" qualifies as a topographical feature!?!

    Mine is The Witch of Blackbird Pond.

    Finished the first book for this challenge. I've linked my review at Goodreads which is in english because I write in Portuguese at my blog. Hhope there's no problem with that. :)

    Just finished "Island of Lost Girls" I thought it was going to be like "Lovely Bones" and wasn't sure I could finish it. But even though it is twisted, it is strangely compelling.

    My Topographic Feature book was SHELTER MOUNTAIN by Robyn Carr. It was the first by her I've read, and I was pretty effectively sucked into the world for a few hours.

    I had a hard time choosing Topography. Started to go with Small Island. I kept changing my silly mind. This challenge is so much fun. I might be ready to write a wrap up post.

    I am still having trouble getting links to go directly to my blog. You can try:

    For the topographical feature book I chose Mountain Laurel by Jude Deveraux. I have now completed two of the six. Can't wait to get started on the others!

    The last book to be read for this years challenge, there's only my wrap-up post to do. As always such fun, I only wish you'd consider adding more categories to the challenge. Thanks for all the work you put in, see you next year.

    For topographical feature I read Beach Music by Pat Conroy, which had been recommended by several friends.

    I just realized that my Weekend Cooking post last week had a topographical feature -- Fire Island!

    I posted The Good Earth b Pearl S Buck, on the grounds that earth/soil is a topographical feature, but please say if you disagree!It won the Pulitzer Price in 1932, but I would never have given it a prize... I struggled with this one.

    Two down as well. Technically, my title doesn't refer to an actual yard, but I figured I'd be creative :)

    This is my 4th book for this challenge. Finding a book with a topographical element was tough, but I decided a ditch counted.

    bah. I keep trying to comment, and I am dumb. Anyway, I read "By the Shores of Silver Lake" by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

    A tree isn't a land mass but it does qualify in Wikipedia as a topographical feature.

    Even though the challenge finished over a year ago, I am still making my way through.
