A few of these titles have yet to have a book description or title released, as they’re projected to publish at the end of the year.Īrya Khanna’s Bollywood Moment by Arushi Avachat (Fall 2023 no cover yet)Īrya Khanna’s life gets a Bollywood spin when her older sister gets engaged. It shouldn’t be hugely surprising to note most of these books are contemporary YA.

Details for the titles come from Amazon, as those tend to have the strongest book descriptions. Here’s a look at what they are and what they’re all about. In 2023, we will see another collection of full names in YA book titles. I know I’ve seen a couple of YA books with “Margo/t” as the title character and I suspect keeping those straight would be hard for the average reader, let alone someone whose work is in YA books. Is it still effective? I don’t have an answer to this. I think there’s still something to be said about how it’s especially powerful when the name is one tied to a cultural background, but perhaps it’s a styling that is worth taking a hard look at.

But much as I enjoy this structure, we may have hit saturation point. This is good service for those who help others find books as well. It’s one I’ve talked about enjoying before, in part because it makes the title a little bit more memorable–I might not remember the whole title nor whether it begins with an “A” or “The” or “This” or “That,” but chances are I’ll be more likely to remember it’s a book with a specific name in it. Over the last several years, the full name as part of a YA book title has been a big trend.
