Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week's Top Ten Tuesday topic:
Books with Adjectives in the Title
I had planned on skipping TTT this week. Just no time to create a post.
But when I saw the prompt it was like, how easy can you get?
I can't say a lot of thought went into this one, but it was fun
browsing my Goodreads shelf for options. 😀
The Reckless Oath We Made - Bryn Greenwood
A Wicked and Beautiful Garden - Katie McGarry
Tattered Stars - Catherine Cowles
Invisible Girl - Lisa Jewell
Fortunate Son - Jay Crownover
The Wicked King - Holly Black
My Sister's Flirty Friend - Piper Rayne
Big Summer - Jennifer Weiner
Rogue Wave - J. Bengtsson
Great and Precious Things - Rebecca Yarros
Have you read any of these books?
I thought this would be an easy topic, but then when I was going through my read-shelf, those titles with adjectives was not very abundant. Fortunate Son was one I read, and now that I read it, ot sure how I feel about the title.
ReplyDeleteSam: I felt like Fortunate Son (the title) fit the story pretty well. Considering that Ry seemingly had it all going for him - well liked, a leader, handsome, a gifted football player - and yet he still struggled with finding his own place and his own voice.
DeleteAlmost every book title I looked at had adjectives.
ReplyDeleteDeb: Yes! I found this to be an easy prompt.
DeleteI haven't read any of these, but you found a lot of good ones for the topic!
ReplyDeleteAngela: Thankfully it was an easy prompt for me. :)
DeleteI haven't read any of these but I did hear of The Reckless Oath We Made. Hope you enjoyed these.
ReplyDeleteMia: The Reckless Oath We Made was really outstanding!
DeleteGreat and Precious Things sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteLydia: It was a real tearjerker. :)
DeleteYay for an easy prompt! I did skip this one, though. I was overthinking it, questioning if I REALLY knew what an adjective was...LOL.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Susan: I saw so many people struggling with adjectives this week! I think we all forgot in the years since elementary school. LOL
DeleteI haven't read any of these, but Big Summer is on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteWendy: Big Summer was such a good read. I hope you enjoy it if/when you get to it.
DeleteI've read 5 of these. I'm impressed with how many unique adjectives you found in titles. I had a hard time coming up with fun ones.
ReplyDeleteDeanna: I noticed a whole lot of repeats of my shelves. I guess certain words are commonly used... a lot.
DeleteThe Invisible Girl is on my TBR!
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Aymee: Invisible Girl was such a great read!
DeleteI just about also almost skipped TTT this week, but same as you - how easy can you get. And then I just had some fun with it.
ReplyDeleteGreat list slammed together though!
Happy TTT and here's my Ten Books to better describe your Wardrobe
Thanks Elza!
DeleteThe Wicked and Beautiful Garden is such a perfect title for this week's TTT, as are all the other books you chose. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Lark!
DeleteI'm so behind on Lisa Jewell.
ReplyDeleteGreg: I still have a couple from Jewell to catch up on.
DeleteGreat choices this week. I've read the Weiner, Jewell, and Holly Black books and I actually just picked up a copy of The Reckless Oath We Made.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne: I adored The Reckless Oath We Made. Gentry is one of my all-time favorite fictional characters. And I love that Greenwood is not afraid to write very flawed characters.
DeleteI loved The Wicked King and really enjoyed A Wicked and Beautiful Garden too! I still need to read Great and Precious Things, I've read a few of her books and have adored each one so far!

Jen: Rebecca Yarros is such a favorite. Great and Precious Things was a wonderful story.
DeleteIt would have been an easy topic for me if I wouldn't have second-guessed all my adjectives. Haha! Great choices! I enjoyed Invisible Girl and Big Summer. :)
ReplyDeleteDedra: LOL I so saw many people question the whole adjective thing. I had to Google a couple of my picks to make sure. Ha!
DeleteJust seeing the cover of The Reckless Oath We Made is giving me the feels!
ReplyDeleteCarole: Yes! Seeing it made me think about Gentry and Zee again.
DeleteLoved The Reckless Oath We Made! Even my husband liked it! I bought All the Ugly and Wonderful Things, both audio and e-copy, just need to set aside the time to listen to it. Jay Crownover is another favorite. I just signed up for a blog tour for Catherine Cowles. I saw a review (maybe here?) praising a story and so I couldn't pass the opportunity up! This is a fun TTT. I haven't had the headspace or time to work up much besides reviews I need to do! We are in escrow now, but it's been a lot of work and stress! Now I need to start packing! Ack!
ReplyDeleteI know All the Ugly and Wonderful Things is divisive, but it was such a powerful story. Reading Greenwood's comments about it and the message she was trying to impart gave me such an appreciation for it. I just read my first by Catherine Cowles this year and loved it. I was supposed review the second book this week but there was a glitch with the arc and I never received it. No worries because I'll be buying my own copy! :)
