Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Books with Numbers in the Title. I did this topic in 2019 (my post is here), going in numerical order from 1 to 10 — so to avoid repeating myself, this time I’m going to stick with numbers greater than 10!
Keeping it simple, my ten books are:

The Twelve Dancing Princesses was one of my favourite fairy tales as a kid!

The cover here is for the copy I read (and re-read) with my daughter while she was growing up. So pretty!
I think a lot of us did 1-10 before and changed it up this time, haha. I’m having a lot of fun reading these larger numbers because there are fewer repeats across posts. I’ve never even heard of most of yours, but I’m intrigued by Eight Hundred Grapes. 500 Miles From You too, which I’m surprised to see is third in a trilogy — a trilogy whose first book I just got out of a Little Free Library and am very excited about, without realizing it had even one follow-up, let alone two!
(and Twelve Dancing Princesses was a childhood favorite of mine too — along with basically anything Ruth Sanderson ever illustrated; that woman has a gift.)

That’s so cool that you found the Jenny Colgan book in a little free library! The books in the trilogy all work as stand-alones, since they’re about mostly different characters in the same town. They’re great books!
The Twelve Dancing Princesses is one of my favorite fairy tales. I always loving checking out retellings of it. Great list!
I love the fairy tale too, and also enjoy seeing different versions. (This one happens to have really pretty illustrations!)
How could I have forgotten The Twelve Dancing Princesses? (Well, maybe because my favorite version is Jessica Day George’s Princess of the Midnight Ball.) Also, yours is the only list I have seen Book of a Thousand Days on, besides my own. And I think the Jenny Colgan book is on my want-to-read list. Nice collection!
I’ll have to check out the Jessica Day George book — I love the Twelve Dancing Princesses, and I’m always excited to discover new versions!
George’s version is gorgeous! Can’t wait to see what you think. Let me know if/when you post about it!
The Twelve Dancing Princesses was one of my favourite fairytale as a child. Thank you for including it here as I’d forgotten all about it! My TTT post is here: https://wp.me/pbWIBM-ka
It’s such a great fairy tale!
I forgot about 1776 and The Twelve Dancing Princesses. That last one is such a sweet story. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve always loved that fairy tale!
I thought it would be hard to find 10 more number title books, but it was surprisingly easy😁
I agree! I think I could have added another 10 at least, if I felt like adding more. 🙂
I haven’t read any of these books, and I haven’t even heard of a few of them. The cover art of ‘Four and Twenty Blackbirds’ is stunning! 🙂
It’s such a cool cover! It’s the first in a trilogy, and the covers look amazing together. (Hate to admit it, but I haven’t read the books yet… but I intend to!)
Haha – you got the 50 Shades in there! This was a fun list, Lisa 🙂
I admit it — I actually read the books!
I love the cover of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, so pretty. I fancied reading 1776 at one point but I haven’t got around to it so far. I don’t really read much non-fiction and keep thinking I should try one or two for a change.
Same here — I keep picking up non-fiction books that sound interesting, but always prefer to start another novel. I’ve had 1776 on my shelf for years, and still haven’t read it.
