TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS WITH THE WORD “LIFE” IN THE TITLE

This week’s prompt is “Books with the Word [Insert Word Here] in the Title” and I spent some time thinking about which word to choose. There were lots of options I considered – flower, girl, rain, mountain, body, quiet…. But in the end, I settled on “Life.” I liked the variety of different types of books that include the word, and that some of my favourites are among them. So here are a selection of books I’ve read, and books I haven’t.

 

Books I’ve read

 

            A Life in Stitches by Rachael Herron

That’s it for me this week! Which word did you choose this week? Anyone else choose the same one as me? Have you read any of these books? Can you think of any others with “life” in the title that you’d add to the list?
