Hi friends,

Top Ten Tuesday was created byΒ The Broke and the BookishΒ in June of 2010 and was moved toΒ That Artsy Reader GirlΒ in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Today’s theme was meant to be funny book titles but my brain is fried after a long workday and I didn’t want to go look on the web for funny book titles.

So I decided to go rogue and just post about book titles I loved and give you the reason and a quote.

A Deady Education by Naomi Novic (because it seems an antinomy)

β€œSome sorcerers get an affinity for weather magic, or transformation spells, or fantastic combat magics like dear Orion. I got an affinity for mass destruction.”

A Curse so Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerrer (because it sounds tragic and romantic)

β€œI am always surprised to discover that when the world seems darkest, there exists the greatest opportunity for light.”
― Brigid Kemmerer,Β A Curse So Dark and Lonely

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune (because it makes me dream and want to travel)

“This is not an orphanage. This is a house of healing, and one I think is necessary.”

The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons (because that sounds like a medieval title with knight)

β€œGood-bye, my moonsong and my breath, my white nights and golden days, my fresh water and my fire. Good-bye, and may you find a better life, find comfort again and your breathless smile, and when your beloved face lights up once more at the Western sunrise, be sure what I felt for you was not in vain. Good-bye and have faith, my Tatiana.”
― Paullina Simons,Β The Bronze Horseman

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang (because it combines love and math!)

β€œAll the things that make you different make you perfect.”
― Helen Hoang,Β The Kiss Quotient

The Rose Code by Kate Quinn (because it sounds mysterious like these spy movies)

“To the veterans of Bletchley Park – you changed the world.”

Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff (because it just sounds badass)

No quote yet duh! It’s not yet published.

A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi (because it makes me adventurous and dreaming of pirates)

β€œI was so raw from repeated exposure to cruelty that now even the most minor abrasions left a mark.”
― Tahereh Mafi,Β A Very Large Expanse of Sea

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson (because with one word he makes it sound mysterious)

β€œI’ve always been very confident in my immaturity.”
― Brandon Sanderson,Β The Final Empire

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (because it sounds beautiful and terrible at the same time)

β€œA society has no chance of success if its women are uneducated…”
― Khaled Hosseini,Β A Thousand Splendid Suns

 

Thanks for reading!Β

  1. I just finished The Kiss Quotient! I really enjoyed it but I don’t get the math thing, lol. Although, I do love a good spreadsheet…

    The Bronze Horseman is one I need to read. People really seem to love that book. The quote was lovely.

  2. I really liked your picks! This post was so much to read!
    I agree, Mistborn sounds so mysterious and compelling, and it’s only just ONE word!

  3. I completely agree with the title of A Curse so Dark and Lonely. That’s what pulled me in for wanting to read that book along with adoring that authors contemporary novel. πŸ™‚
