Top Ten Tuesday: Books With One-Word Titles

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 One-Word Titles — a topic I’ve done multiple times over the years (see here, here, and here). So, the challenge for me today is finding ten MORE books with one-word titles without repeating myself!

Here’s what I’ve come up with — all books that I’ve read within the last year or so:

  1. Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell
  2. Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
  3. Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw
  4. Reputation by Lex Croucher
  5. Waypoints by Sam Heughan
  6. Wolfsong by TJ Klune
  7. Scorpica by G. R. Macallister
  8. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
  9. Passing by Nella Larsen
  10. Anatomy by Dana Schwartz

Top Ten Tuesday: My daughter’s top 10 books from the past 12 months

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week is a Freebie week, so we all come up with our own topics. I was drawing a complete blank, so I decided to enlist my daughter once again! Not only is she an amazing human being — she’s also an amazing reader, so seeing her top 10 lists is always a treat.

She originally sent me a list of 20, but put in a valiant effort and narrowed it down to 10. Here are the books she’s loved recently:

  1. Even Though I Knew the End by C. L. Polk
  2. Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
  3. The Deep by Rivers Solomon
  4. Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers
  5. Honey & Spice by Bolu Babalola
  6. Love Radio by Eboney LaDelle
  7. Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
  8. The Street by Ann Petry
  9. The Secret Lives of Church Ladies by Deesha Philyaw
  10. Thank You For Listening by Julia Whelan

Have you read any of these? If so, what did you think? (I’ve read 3 out of 10, have one all queued up to read this summer, and have my eye on at least two more of these!)

Top Ten Tuesday: My daughter’s favorite reads from the past 12 months

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week is a Freebie week, so we all come up with our own topics. Since my wonderful, amazing, book-loving daughter is home this week, I thought I’d make her the star, and have her pick her top 10 reads from the past year.

Here are the books she’s loved recently:

(She couldn’t quite narrow it down to 10, so here are the 11 top books!)

  1. Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory by Raphael Bob-Waksberg
  2. The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
  3. Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert
  4. Milk Blood Heat by Dantiel W. Moniz
  5. Happily Ever Afters by Elise Bryant
  6. Umami by Laia Jufresa
  7. Yes Please by Amy Poehler
  8. The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air trilogy) by Holly Black
  9. Good Talk by Mira Jacobs
  10. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
  11. Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

Have you read any of these? If so, what did you think? (I’ve read 5 of her 11, and clearly need to read at least a few of the others!)
