The 52 Book Club: 2025 Challenge discussion

18. An Apostrophe In The Title

An apostrophe is a punctuation mark used to indicate possession or to represent omitted letters. (Example: Sarah's Key) Books that fit this prompt will have an apostrophe somewhere in the title. It could also be found in the subtitle or series title.

Note: Sometimes books have alternate titles in different regions. As long as the book title in at least one region has an apostrophe in it, that book will work toward this prompt regardless of the edition or format you’re reading.

Going with You'd Be Home Now

Book 4/52 - We Don’t Know Ourselves: A Personal History of Ireland Since 1958 by Fintan O’Toole.

A fascinating book - and my first non-fiction book of the year. An insightful look into the enormous social, political and economic changes that have taken place in Ireland over O’Toole’s lifetime. Full of stories I have always been vaguely aware of from my country’s history but never known the details of - and the details are often more shocking than I ever imagined.
