Read a book with a royal term in the title.

We know that finding the book you need can be a royal pain. Do not fear. We are here to help! You could fulfill this challenge with any books including words like King, Queen, Prince, and Princess, but it could also include words like court, maid, and jester. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Why not start at the top? The Marsh King’s Daughter, The River of Kings, and King Zero all have royalty in the title without actually being about anyone on a throne.

When you are royalty, you have every right to be possessive, and boy do these queens love that possessive ‘S. Check out any of the many titles that follow this formula of being “The Queen’s ________.”

What if you rule an empire instead of a kingdom? The Emperor’s Children, Emperor Mollusk Versus the Sinister Brain, and Emperor of the Eight Islands.

American Duchess, Bringing Down the Duke, and The Duke and I are all romances that prove you do not have to be at the top of the royal line to find love.

There are many nonfiction and biography books about royalty, and many have a title in the…well…title. Books like The Lost Tudor Princess, Harry: A Biography of a Prince, and Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret tell the tales of real-life royalty through the ages. Others, like The Princess Diarist, King of the World, and Duke, are about people who history treats like royalty regardless of bloodlines.

Don’t forget that you can read graphic novels to fulfill #RogersReads challenges as well! There are plenty to choose from, but King Deadpool, Rat Queens, and Princess Princess Ever After are a few staff favorites. 

We are looking forward to a year full of challenging new reads with you!

Happy reading!
