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.
My pick for Wednesday’s Word this week is ‘PEOPLE‘. We are in another four week lockdown in the area where I live so I miss seeing and interacting with ‘people’. In this post I’ve selected just twenty novels with the word ‘people’ in the title as a way of sharing my book love.
These titles cover a broad range of genres – with literary fiction, mystery, women’s fiction, and thrillers to name but a few.
Just click on the cover to read the book’s synopsis from Goodreads.
You might just find your next favorite book!

I’ve read 6 of these, that has to be a record. I loved Anxious People. Normal People was a very different read, a bit depressing. I pretty much read all Elin Hilderbrand’s books, but there are a few on here that tempt me, such as Winter People and My Kind of People. Great list, Lynne.

I absolutely adored Anxious People. Winter People I liked. It was creepy and atmospheric. Had some flaws but was overall a very engaging read. I think Ordinary People is an important read but it left me feeling a bit desolate. Some of these others are quite intriguing! What a nice list!

It was a sensation here in Ireland, best thing on TV in years! Hope you get to see it.

The title ‘The Smell of Other People’s Houses’ is very intriguing! And ‘The Winter People’ cover appeals. I love books set in really cold places.
