Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Books with Numbers in the Title.
I haven't done a TTT for a few months as I have been too busy at work to do the thinking and composing that is required for one of these posts, but this week I have time off so it seems like a good time to make the effort. When I started thinking about this topic, I was sure that I had already done a post with this theme but it turns out I might have only done this in my head. Recently I nearly did a Six Degrees of Separation post using numbers but decided against it for the same reason.
I am still going to go with my original idea which is a play on numbers rather than specifically in the title. Let's see how this go
Battle Royale by Lucy Parker - my first book by this author, but not the last. Also the first book in the Palace Insiders series.
Second Place by Rachel Cusk - I listened to Rachel Cusk's session at Melbourne Writers Festival. I am not sure that she is an author that I would read but it was interesting listening to her talk.
The Cartographer's Secret by Tea Cooper - the third book that I gave a rating of 5/5 this year.
The Fourth Bear by Jasper Fforde - For obvious reasons.
The Life She Imagines by Maggie Christensen - The fifth book in the Granite Springs series.
The Time of Singing by Elizabeth Chadwick - the sixth book I read by Elizabeth Chadwich. She has a new book out which is why I had her on my mind. I also need to get back and read her as I am now a few books behind.
The Seven Sisters by Lucida Riley - Another obvious choice.
84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff - I know....cheating! but it starts with an 8 right?
Snowy Mountains Daughter by Alissa Callen - The ninth book I read this year. The next book in this series has recently been announced and I can't wait to read it!
The Sundial by Shirley Jackson - the tenth book on my kindle to read right now. This is the upcoming group read for RIP XVI.
Clever. Very clever. I want to read 84 Charing Cross. My TTT post
ReplyDeleteYours was clever too Anne!
DeleteThe Seven Sisters is a definite yes for me too. I'm done with the whole series and now have to wait for the very last one, Pa Salt to be written by Lucinda Riley's son.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT! Here's my Here's my 10 Agatha Christie books with numbers in the title
I still have the last book to read. I will get to it eventually I am sure!
DeleteI had to cheat with number 8 too! I'm in the middle of Elizabeth Chadwick's new book at the moment and enjoying it so far.
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to include Charing Cross Road becausee I recently came across the book. I hope you are enjoying the new EC book!
