Book Pairs

My library has a fun display this month. As shown in the photo above, pairs of books are rubber-banded together because they have a common bond.

One of them I knew.  One was an outright gimme.  Most of them had me scratching my head; I guess I'm not as well-read as I thought.

I've listed all the pairs below. Bookworms of the readus maximus persuasion, help me out:  How many do you know?
