Happy Tuesday, reading friends! Today’s theme for Top Ten Tuesday is “Books with Geographical Terms in the Title”, submitted by Lisa over at Hopewell. I decided to look at titles that take us over the river, so to speak. Do you like to go canoeing or swimming in a river? I confess that I’d rather just sit on a porch or balcony and listen to the river while reading instead of being active on it lol.

There are so many river titles. I didn’t realize it until I did this topic. Yours are unique to the ones I found in my read list, so it’s fun to see even more.
Great list of titles with geographical terms in them. I like your spin on this week’s prompt by focusing on rivers. I don’t know any of these books, but they look interesting.

thanks, Rae!
Riverbend Gap has popped up on a few different blogs this week. The cover for it looks so peaceful.

Excellent list, Carrie! I wanted to focus on one term but was struggling a bit, so I tweaked the topic just a hair, and went with authors that gravitate toward geographical terms 🙂 https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2022/09/top-ten-tuesday-authors-that-gravitate.html
What a fun topic! I had never stopped to think how many titles have “River” in them. 😳
One More River to Cross sounds good!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I love your take on this week’s prompt!

I have several of these on my wish list.
The first “River” book title to cross my mind (because I read it this year) is SA Chakraborty’s The River of Silver, which is a short story collection set in her Daevabad universe.
