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 Book Titles That Would Make Great Newspaper Headlines. I’m not sure that the books I’ve chosen would make great headlines, but hey, I tried!
My list:
- The Scandalous Confessions of Lydia Bennet, Witch by Melinda Taub
- Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers
- Letters to the Lost by Iona Grey
- The Underside of Joy by Seré Prince Halverson
- The Witches Are Coming by Lindy West
- The Coldest Winter Ever by Sister Souljah
- The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse by Louise Erdrich
- The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
- The Bright Side of Disaster by Katherine Center
- The Fragile Threads of Power by V. E. Schwab
Do any of these sound like newspaper headlines to you?

Nice post ✉️
Why are these so good!? Definitely all headline worthy titles!
Thanks! A surprisingly fun topic…
It was tricky coming up titles that’d fit this prompt well. I think you did great. “The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight” would make a great headline in a science-focuses magazine/journal, I think, and who wouldn’t click on a magazine article with a headline saying “The Scandalous Confessions of Lydia Bennet”?
Thanks! Yes, the Statistical Probability one made me think of a feature piece in the NY Times Sunday magazine!
Great list – love Letters to the Lost!
Have you read the book? It’s been on my shelf for a while now after a friend recommended it, but I still haven’t read it. Still, I thought it would make a good newspaper advice column header. 🙂
I haven’t but love the title for a headline!
This is a really unique prompt. And they would make great headlines.
Thanks! It ended up being fun… although initially I thought I wouldn’t come up with anything.
The Witches Are Coming is the perfect title for this week’s TTT! Can you imagine reading that in the Sunday newspaper? ;D
Haha, how scary!!
Funny how all your authors are feminine sounding!
I guess that shows what authors tend to end up on my shelves 🙂
The Witches Are Coming! I would definitely read that article😁
Haha, I’d have so many follow-up questions! When are they coming? What are their plans? Should we be nervous? Will there be a parade?
These would all make for compelling headlines, especially that first one. I would definitely read that story!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Happy TTT and Happy Wednesday!!
Awesome topic. It made me think of a few titles I’ve read that might qualify. Like The Missing Witness, There Should Have Been Eight, and maybe A Castle in the Air.
Ooh, The Missing Witness — that sounds like it would be a very intriguing cover story!
Great choices, Lisa! Thanks for sharing these titles! Hope you are doing well 🤗
Thanks, Barbara! Nice to hear from you!
