So books called “The X’s Daughter,” and the “The (Adjective) (Noun) of (First Name) (Last Name)” have been adequately noted here, as have books called “A/The X of Y and Z.” Below however is a list of just a subset of the last pattern: “A/The X of Y and Z,” books, but where one of the variables is “Bone/s”(Source: [https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/90430.The\_Blank\_of\_Blank\_and\_Blank](https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/90430.The_Blank_of_Blank_and_Blank))
1. A Cathedral of Myth and Bone
2. Children of Blood and Bone
3. Boys of Blood & Bone (cf. #2)
4. Court of Bone and Fury
5. A Crown of Blood and Bone
6. Cry of Metal & Bone
7. Daughter of Smoke & Bone
8. Diadem of Blood and Bones (cf. #5)
9. A Ferry of Bones & Gold
10. The Forest of Ghosts and Bones
11. The Forest of Shadow and Bones
12. Forest of Bones and Wishes
13. Ghosts of Blood and Bone
14. King of Ash and Bone
15. The King of Bones and Ashes (cf. #14)
16. A Kingdom of Blood and Bones
17. Kingdom of Ice and Bone
18. Kingdom of Needle and Bone
19. Master of Salt & Bones
20. A Place of Blood and Bone
21. The Primal of Blood and Bone
22. A Secret of Birds & Bone
23. The Secrets of Blood and Bone
24. A Throne of Feathers and Bone
25. Woman of Blood & Bone
There are about 500 books on the list at the link above, meaning that one out of every 20 has “bone/s” in the title. Variables such as “ash,” “blood,” “salt” believe it or not, “shadow,” and “stone” are also abundantly represented. I would estimate that titles without any of these words are in the minority.
Is there just like one guy responsible for naming every book?
