I love your choices! Rick Riordan books always have the best chapter titles, and I love any chapter title that begins with "In Which."
(July 25, 2023 - 11:09 pm)
Yayyy
"About the Lonely and the Rum" from Moominland Midwinter by Tove Jansson. (It's so mysterious...)
"No One Signed Up for a Horcrux Hunt" "We Are All Potatoes" and "Pick a Wife! Any Wife!" from Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes by Roshani Chokshi (Like Rick Riordan books, all the Aru Shah books have hilarious chapter titles, but this is the one that I have on hand)
"Talons and Tea Leaves" "Grim Defeat" "A Peck of Owls" "The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black" "Percy and Padfoot" "Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four" "An Excess of Phlegm" from various Harry Potter books

Yesssss, love Aru Shah. Just finished the fourth book a few minutes ago actually! The chapter titles are amazing lol
(July 26, 2023 - 6:11 pm)
All of these are excellent!
Some authors seem to really enjoy creating chapters like this; I've read a few books in the Percy Jackson series and the chapter titles are great although for some reason I can't remember any. Also, in The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict, which is a sort of prequel to the Mysterious Benedict Society, the first chapter is called The Beginning At the End and the last chapter is The End at the Beginning. I can't think of any more right now but will post things as I read (or remember) them.

Woah, cool!!! Really?! I mean, obviously really, but.... idk, ig it's just something ppl say to indicate surprise? But anyways, wow. Nicholas Benedict was the only Mysterious Benedict Society I haven't read for some reason, I just couldn't get into it? But yeah, I feel like The Secret Keepers MIGHT have had some cool chapters too but I can't remember...

Ooh yes, Mysterious Benedict Society books always have fun chapter titles. I really like the very first chapter title in the series, "Pencils, Erasers, and Disqualifications."

Oh. My. Simon Sort of Says has amazing chapters also!! Worthy of Rick Riordan (which I thought I'd never see)! And just awesome in its own right too! Great book in general
one: in which we are driven out of Omaha by alpacas
(for me, the recipe for a perfect chp is a. Have the chp number, b. Have a funny/thought-provoking title, c. The title adds to the story/gives you a taste of the chapter/summarizes a bit, these chps have all that, plus they use "in which", an added bonus. Basically, Rick Riordan mashed up with The Girl Who Drank the Moon, the two (in my opinion) greatest chapters of all time. Another bonus, I like the font and all lowercase of the chapters, they seem perfect for these titles for some reason.)
two: in which my new seventh-grade class learns that a sackbut is a kind of trombone
three: in which I meet a girl (not in a kissing-book way)
four: in which our peacock meets a girl (in a kissing-book way)
and that's where I am for now
