Is it OK to use black and white as words that go together? I was thinking of reading White Sky, Black Ice.

Would 'town' and 'country' be words that go together?

Would "earth" and "sky" go together?

Yes, yes, and yes ;-).

These combinations will work:
black & white
town & country
earth & sky

Will left & right work? I was thinking of one of these combinations:

Left Neglected with First Grave on the Right

or Left Neglected with Let the Right One In

Left & right work.

For anyone else that's still planning, mother & father would work, too!

I will be reading:

Neither Here Nor There:: Travels in Europe

Haha! I missed that combination in the title!

Will shield and sword work? As in "Lay Down My Shield and Sword"

Would these combos in this title work?

Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow

How about 'Tween Heaven and Hell for the Heaven and Hell combo?

Ann A wrote: "I will be reading:

Good choice.

Norma wrote: "Will shield and sword work? As in "Lay Down My Shield and Sword""

I'm really looking for more of a common everyday pairing...

Judy wrote: "Would North and South work for the one book option?"

It would.

Kathy G. wrote: "Would these combos in this title work?

Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow"

Absolutely. No double points for two pairs ;-)

Heaven & hell works.

I'd like to read Italian Shoes: A Novel and Toe-Up 2-At-A-Time Socks: Yet Another Revolution in Knitting Two at Once on One Circular Needle! Includes 15 New Sock Patterns

for a combo of shoes and socks

Shoes & socks will work.

Can I use Naughty in Nice for the one-book option? I'm on the fence about it because it's clear from the book's summary that the title uses "nice" in both its sense as naughty's opposite and also as the city in France.

Cindy F

How about bitter/sweet as in Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

Would Over Sea, Under Stone work?

That's OK. We're just looking at the words. Naughty and nice works as a word pair.

Bitter & sweet and over & under work, too.

Will The Truth About Forever and Kisses and Lies work

Would Break and Enter work?

JennRenee wrote: "Will The Truth About Forever and Kisses and Lies work"

Yes, truth and lies will work.

Fran wrote: "Would Break and Enter work?"

That works for ONE book.

Does "rise and fall" work? I want to read The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America's Favorite Planet

Thanks!

Would 'Life' and 'Death' work as a pair?

How about Wanted: Undead or Alive

Erin wrote: "Does "rise and fall" work? I want to read The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America's Favorite Planet"

Rise & fall works.

Wendy UK wrote: "Would 'Life' and 'Death' work as a pair?"

Yes, they would work as a pair,

April wrote: "How about Wanted: Undead or Alive"

Sorry, April. Dead and alive would work, but not undead and alive.

is this okayA Million Suns and Graffiti Moon

JennRenee wrote: "is this okayA Million Suns and Graffiti Moon"

Sorry, Jenn Renee. Sun and moon would work, but not suns and moon.

how about Little Women and The First Men in the Moon

TMBookluvr wrote: "how about Little Women and The First Men in the Moon"

Women and men would work.

How about mother and daughter?

Beth F. wrote: "How about mother and daughter?"

Mother and daughter works.

How about big and little?

Kate wrote: "How about big and little?"

Yep. Big and little will work.

His Enemy, His Friend (enemy and friend)
Boy Girl Boy (boy and girl)
Icefire (ice and fire)

I figure the last of these will probably be a long shot (since it's written as a single word in the title), but I decided it was worth asking lol

How about you and me?

I see that earth and sky works, how about sea and sky?
