If you would like to style a book title within a block of italicized text you have a couple of options.

Change the font weight: You can give the book title it's own unique weight within the italicized text. This option will help the book title to standout visually. You can do this within HTML with the style tag; for example Book Title.
Use Quote Marks: If you don't want to mess with HTML, you can also use quote marks to make the book title stand out within the block of text.
Follow MLA Formatting: To style the book title in a block of italicized text, you can also follow the formatting rules outlined by the Modern Language Association (MLA). According to the MLA, any book title should be italicized—meaning you don't need to change the font weight or use quote marks.

Styling book titles within a block of italicized text can be accomplished by a few different methods.

Place double quotation marks (" ") around the title of the book. This is the traditional way, and is usually the most appropriate choice for professional writing.
Place the title of the book in a separate sentence, outside of the italicized text.
Use the HTML tag to wrap the book title within the italicized block of text.

Here’s an example:

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is a timeless classic.
