Most readers will acknowledge that some words reappear time and time again in titles. Often these words are associated with a particular genre. Case in point: “The girl on the train” and “Gone girl” spawned countless thriller titles with the word ‘girl’ in the title.
I know there are hundreds of books with the word ‘TREE’ in the title, but I’m featuring a small selection of titles that appeal to me personally, as a way of sharing my book love. I’ve read five of the following titles and several more are on my TBR. It just so happens that one of my all-time favourite novels has the word ‘tree’ in the title, so of course I’ll lead off with that one: “Tree of Hands” by the late, great, Ruth Rendell.

Another great addition to this series Lynne. I have heard of several of these books, but not read any of them. After reading the comments and seeing your thoughts on The Phantom Tree, I am going to start with that one. I will go back and check out your review, although I probably already read it.

Well now, who hasn’t read and loved A Tree Grows in Brooklyn?
I’ve not read any other of these although the cover of the Jo Baker intrigues me.

I haven’t yet read anything by Jo Baker, but I’ve had her “Longbourne” on my TBR for ages.

I haven’t read any of these, but I have heard very good things about ‘A Three Grows in Brooklyn’ (which also happens to have one of my favourite covers amongst the above).
