Books with Nationalities in the Title


Hello Tuesday people! OMG, it's September! This year is flying. 

Anywho, this week we are talking about books with nationalities in the titles. This was hard! I had to go back to 2020 to get 10. What did I discover? I found I don't read many books with nationalities in the title, and that the most popular for me were: American, Italian, and Irish. Did you learn anything new about your reading completing this week's TTT?

  1. Canadian Boyfriend by Jenny Holiday
  2. One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle
  3. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
  4. Home of the American Circus by Allison Larkin
  5. Dirty English by Ilsa Madden Mills
  1. A Fake Girlfriend for Chinese New Year by Jackie Lau
  2. Second Chance Scottish by Tricia O'Malley
  3. A Very Irish Christmas by Debbie Johnson
  4. The Little Italian Hotel by Phaedra Patrick
  5. American Royals by Katherine McGee

  1. I can't think of any books that I've read that would have worked for this. You did great finding these books to post for this.

  2. Same! I found a lot of English, German, and Irish titles, but had trouble finding many that were outside of the U.K. and Europe. Interesting.

    Happy TTT!

    1. I feel like a lot of historicals have nationalities (at least the titles that came to mind for me). I have been reading quite a bit of Japanese lit, but they use town/city names vs. nationalities in the titles.

  4. Nice choices, Sam. I've read 4 of these. I would have thought that there would be more with "Canadian" in the title, but not on my shelves.

    1. Maybe the nationality thing is more popular with certain genres, like historicals, because I could think of quite a few of those.
