Here are some examples:
* "The Lord of the Rings" is a classic fantasy novel. ("Is" is singular)
* "Pride and Prejudice" explores themes of love, marriage, and societal expectations. ("Explores" is singular)
* "The Great Gatsby" was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. ("Was" is singular)
However, there are a few exceptions:
* If the book title refers to multiple items, you use a plural verb. For example: "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are exciting stories."
* If the title is followed by a phrase like "are many things," you use a plural verb. For example: "The Hunger Games are many things: action-packed, thought-provoking, and controversial."
In general, though, treat book titles as singular subjects and use singular verbs.
