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 Featuring Ordinal Numbers.
My original thought was to go in order from 1 to 10, and stick with books I’ve actually read. However… I got stuck on #6 and #8, and rather than adding books that I haven’t read, I’m skipping those and adding in a couple of others.
So, here we have ordinal numbers mainly from 1 – 10, plus two teens!
(I considered including two books that have been recommended to me at various times, The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert and Eighth Grave after Dark by Darynda Jones — but since I doubt I’ll ever read either one, decided to drop them!)
What books made your list this week?

Fourth Wing is making a lot of lists (including mine!), not very surprisingly, and I also had The Third Rule of Time Travel on my list too…
I figured Fourth Wing would be a popular choice this week! 🙂
You nailed it this week! I had to go rogue.
I think a lot of people went rogue this week! It’s always fun to see new twists on topics 🙂
Great job!! I went with something else because I could only think of Ninth House and Fourth Wing! lol
I was just annoyed when I got stuck at 6th!
Fourth Wing and Ninth House easily came to mind for me too 🙂
My TTT: https://laurieisreading.com/2026/03/10/top-ten-tuesday-books-with-ordinal-numbers-in-the-title/
I have a feeling both will be on a lot of lists today!
Fab list! How could I forget Fourth Wing!!!!
LOL, I remembered it and I didn’t even love it the way so many people do!!
I love Darynda Jones books. Waited for each of them to come out.
I’ve heard really good things about them! I tried the first one and couldn’t get into it, but I know people seem to love them.
I love how you got most of the 1-10 numbers incorporated!
Thanks! It was a fun challenge this week!
Fourth Wing made my list too. I’d forgotten to consider any of the Charley Davidson series I’d read.
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
My daughter loved the Charley Davidson series! I tried the first book, but couldn’t get into it… but I know a lot of people loved it.
Ahoy there! Clever take on this week’s topic. I loved scrolling down the numbers by looking at the book covers. Have a great rest of your week. Arrrr!

Thanks so much! Hope you have a great week!
I almost picked Ninth House and Fourth Wing😁 Nice list, this was a fun prompt!
It was fun! I’ve seen both of those on a lot of lists this week! 🙂
I totally gave up on this – I couldn’t make my brain co-operate at all and yet now I’ve visited a few of these posts and I seem to have read two off each one usually so i could definitely have made a TTT. Ah well. I’ve read 4, 5 and 9 off your list.

Once I really started scouring my shelves, I was able to find some! It was a fun sort of scavenger hunt 🙂
I’ve read two of these as well – Fifth Wave & Ninth House. How I havent gotten to Fourth Wing yet I do not know 🙈 what did you think of The Seventh Bride? As a Bluebeard retelling it tends to catch my eye but its one of the few books by the author that I never see referenced. The Darynda Jones series is what I first thought of when I saw this prompt going around. Although that’s yet another series I’m yet to try.
I’m in the minority of people who actually didn’t care for Fourth Wing! I thought The Seventh Bride was great — I listened to the audiobook, and thought the storytelling style and the overall story itself were so engaging. I know a few people who loved the Darynda Jones series, but I never got past the first chapter of the first book!
Thats a shame about Fourth Wing. Ive seen mixed things occasionally but im hoping itll work for me. Thats great to know about The Seventh Bride though. I guess I shouldn’t he surprised though as the authors book seem to generally be pretty loved. I just never see that particular one mentioned.
