Description

We examine changes in book titles of the New York Times Bestseller hardcover fiction lists from 2000 to 2020 regarding thematic, grammatical, and psychological categories. We find that social categories (including personal pronouns) have been increasingly used, while religiously connotated titles have been declining.
