    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?
