This week's Top Ten Tuesday topic:
Unique Book Titles
There are loads of interesting and unique book titles out there,
but I decided to choose titles only from books that I've read.

I love the title Tell the Wolves I'm Home... but unfortunately I didn't like the book. LOL
DeleteI love The Perks of Being A Wallflower and The Fault In Our Stars. What a great list! Tell the Wolves I'm Home is such a cool title.
ReplyDeleteI just recently re-watched Perks. One of the few cases where the movie was as good as the book - if not even better.
DeleteUnfortunately Simon and the the Homo Sapiens Agenda was DNF but it was me [it's always me lol] so I want to try it again. The Fault in Our Stars, the movie, undid me so I didn't dare to read the book. Furiously Happy and The Perks of Being a Wallflower are in TBR! the great list Tanya!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding! What is just not working for you? Did you have a specific problem with it? I very, very rarely re-read, but Simon is one of those that I can read and listen to all the time. I actually enjoyed TFIOS movie more than the book.
Deletethat's a good question! IDK.. I think I got bored. I didn't see the story going anywhere! Hum... now you are making me think about Simon again! and... HEY you already made me request Obsidian! LOL Daemon Daemon Daemon! LOL
DeleteFuriously Happy was a great book. I'm glad you included it in your list.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Thanks Astilbe. Furiously Happy was a lot of fun. I listened to it on audio and it was great to hear Jenny narrate it herself.
DeleteSome great ones :)

Thanks :)
DeleteSome great choices here! I particularly love Sloppy Firsts, such a fun title. Of these I've read Perks and TFIOS, neither of which I was overly thrilled with unfortunately.

For all the hype that both Perks and TFIOS get, I actually preferred the movie over the book in both cases. The books were truly over-hyped.
DeleteAll the titles you've chosen are very unique indeed!

Thanks :)
DeleteThese are all fantastic choice Tanya. I love titles that stand out or make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kimberly - me too! :)
DeleteI LOVE Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. I was dismayed to see they changed the move title to Love, Simon.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I love Simon so much, Angie! I very rarely reread, but I've reread Simon (book and audio) several times. I'm kinda sad about the movie name change, too. I sure wish they would have kept the original title. :(
DeleteSimon Vs is a great book with a great title. Nice list!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks Aj! I have so much love for Simon! :)
DeleteI love unique titles. I have to say you picked some good ones. I have to say that "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and "The Fault in Our Stars" are some of my favorite titles.
ReplyDeleteSame here, Melissa. :) The Perks of Being a Wallflower has always been one of my favorite titles.
DeleteFuriously happy is my favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteEverything about that one makes me laugh - the title, the cover, and definitely the book. :)
DeleteI read Tell the Wolves I'm home - it definitely made me think. And I just requested Simon ❤️
ReplyDeleteI wish I had liked Tell the Wolves I'm Home more. While I loved Toby, I found almost every other character unlikable. :( SO happy you requested Simon!! One of my all-time favorites. ♥
DeleteI haven't read a single one of these titles but I think I might happen to own almost every one of them. ;) Simon is on my shelf thanks to you. :D
ReplyDeleteLOL Not surprised at all, Brandee. I find myself in the same position all the time. I can't wait until you get to Simon. I love him so much! :)
DeleteThe Fault In Our Stars is one of my favorites. Glad to see it on this list. I’ve heard great things about Simon VS The Home Sapiens but I havent read it. Need to check out some of the rest. Thanks for sharing. Great list! 😁❤️
ReplyDeleteThe Fault in Our Stars was a good one. I liked both the book AND the movie... which is rare. Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda is one of my all-time favorites - and one of the few books that I reread. :)
DeleteI actually haven't read any of these... Oops. Simon is on my TBR though!
ReplyDeleteI love the titles that you picked! They really are unique. My favourite on your list is Does this Book Make Me Look Fat.
I hope you'll love Simon when you get around to it. It's one of my all-time faves. :)
DeleteDoes This Book Make Me Look Fat was rather forgettable but the title definitely isn't. LOL
Oh these are fun! I love seeing everyone's takes on this topic, there are really some interesting titles out there! I need to read Simon desperately. TFiOS is a great choice too, because what even is that? Debbie Harry Sings in French made me chuckle too, these are great choices!
ReplyDeleteYou totally need to read Simon... like, yesterday. I'll be waiting. :)
DeleteAfter I posted this I had the sudden thought: oh crap, are people younger than me even going to know who Debbie Harry is? LOL
There are definitely some good titles out there these days. I think I prefer the long ones over the one-word titles, especially when there are multiple books with the same one-word title. Of these, the only one currently on my TBR list is John Green's The Fault in Our Stars. I also like the title of his new one, Turtles All The Way Down. Other titles I love (though I haven't read all the books): A Brief History of Time (Stephen Hawking), The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Mark Haddon), Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake (Sarah MacLean -- I read that one), and I Sing the Body Electric! (short story and story collection by Ray Bradbury; I've read that one, too.)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I'm always a little disappointed when I come across multiple books with the same title. It's like, why would you chose to do that? Don't you want your book to stand out? I always get a chuckle from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. :)
DeleteI have read The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List and The Fault in Our Stars and enjoyed them all. Furiously Happy is on my TBR.

Furiously Happy was a lot of fun. Listened to it on audio and Jenny Lawson narrates it herself which just added to the experience. :)
DeleteI'm so sorry I missed your post! I try to hit up as many top 10 as I can but its rather a crap shoot as the names all blur together. *cries* I think Sloppy Firsts is a HILARIOUS title... I can't even believe that went to print... did you enjoy it?! <3
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Dani! :) I love the Sloppy First title, too! And the book was great! The whole series is, really. It's really smart, realistic, thoughtful YA. Not full of silliness or tired tropes. Jessica Darling is a great character.
