I’ve already done the prompt for this week – hilarious book titles – here. So this week I’m going to do a bit of a tangential prompt. I’m going to list some books with titles that made me really, really curious!
Of these I’ve only read three and a half so far, so I can’t report back on whether all of them lived up to their titles. But so far so good! What about you guys? Have any book titles completely hooked you before you even read the back cover or cracked them open? Any of these that you’re curious about now?
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly link-up feature created by The Broke and the Bookish and hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Every week TTT has a different topic, and everyone who links up has to create a link of ten items that fit that topic. To see past and upcoming topics, go here.
I read Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race and, as a white person, it really was informative. Hopefully the rest live up to their titular expectations!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I loved Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race. It was informative, for sure, but also did a really good job of showing how tiring it can be to be Black, how frustrating it is to constantly be put into boxes, and how much anger can be associated with a lifetime of those experiences. I thought it was such a valuable reading experience for us white people who want to begin to understand more about what it’s like to be BIPOC. Thanks for stopping by!
THis is a great list, and a really neat topic swap! Reading your list, Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas made me curious too. Now I have to go look it up and see what it’s about. 🙂

That one was interesting for sure. It’s been years since I read it, but I remember it being set in Seattle and having a monkey, I think? It was unique, as are all Robbins’ books! Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates was probably my favourite, but they’re mostly pretty interesting.
Great list! I love the prompt you pick. And there are so many interesting book titles on your list that also make me very curious 😀.

Have a great week☀️
Thank you! Oh good. I love adding to TBRs! 😉
I hope you enjoy whichever of these you’ve not read yet.
Thank you!
I’m chuckling at I Love You but I’ve Chosen Darkness. Too Funny.

I love that you find that one funny – it’s a dark one, but I also found the title really appealing!
This is a great list of interesting book titles!

Thank you!
Oooh these are great titles – and curious titles are also funny in their own right! I enjoyed The One-Armed Sister!
These are my (allegedly) hilarious book titles
Thanks! Sometimes I see a title or cover and it just instantly makes me curious, even before I’ve read the blurb! One-Armed Sister I just read for the BookTube Prize and I can say it’s not like anything else I’ve read before!
