Happy Reading!
Great list. I loved The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie - I think all of Alan Bradley's other books have very long titles too!
ReplyDeleteHis books do all have long titles. I just went with the first one because it was easiest. :)
DeleteGreat list! That first title on your list is sure a long one! I think I'll need to have a super brain power to remember that, lol.
ReplyDeleteI had to double check that one three times to make sure I'd typed it up right! :D
DeleteThat first book on your list looks good!
ReplyDeleteMy post.
Isn't that the craziest title? :)
DeleteNineteen words? Wow! What a fun title, though.
ReplyDeleteI've read half of the titles on this list and the Ally Carter one is probably my favorite. The Gallagher Girls series is a fun one that I really need to finish one of these days.
Happy TTT!
Ally Carter writes some fun books! :)
DeleteThe first one has such a curious (and long) title that I think I need to look for it.
ReplyDeleteThat's the only one I haven't read, but I'm curious as to what it's about! :)
DeleteThe Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
ReplyDeleteby Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows made my TTT list too. I've read it twice.
Here's a link to my TTT post: https://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2020/10/top-ten-tuesday-books-ive-read-with.html
It's such a good book, isn't it? I really love that one. :)
DeleteI have so few with long titles that it didn't seem worth the hassle to chug through Goodreads looking for them. I do recall 'Nobody loves a bigfoot like a bigfoot babe'!
ReplyDelete:D That's a great one!
DeleteThese are all crazy long titles. I like to give nicknames to ones this long. I always refer to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society as Potato Peel Society. LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely easier to say and remember that way! :D
DeleteThese are great! That first one is quite the title! It makes me curious to check it out though. I loved that Ally Carter book. The whole Gallagher Girls series was fantastic. :)
ReplyDeleteThat Ally Carter book is one of my favs! It's just so fun. :)
DeleteThe longest ones I spotted from the list I keep seem to come in at between eight and twelve words unless you count all those wordy subtitles that get pasted onto the dust jacket. Sometimes those alone run ten or twelve additional words.
ReplyDeleteYeah, those subtitles make for some REALLY long titles.
DeleteI was trying to recommend The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society to someone today funnily enough and got completely lost. LOL!
ReplyDelete:D That one's hard for me to remember, too. I'm always getting the words mixed up.
DeleteGreat list! I used to read One Fish Two Fish when I was little!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Top Ten Tuesday!

At one point I had One Fish Two Fish memorized. It drove my parents crazy. :D
DeleteWow that first one is long! I like the Dr. Seuss one for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteDr. Seuss is the best! :)
DeleteWow that first one haha- awesome! The ally carter one is fun too...
ReplyDeleteThe Ally Carter is a fun read, too. Don't know about the first one. but I do like that title. :)
DeleteI bet a lot of Dr. Seuss books would work! Nice list.
ReplyDeleteI probably could have done my whole list with just Seuss books! :D
DeleteAlright, David Forrest's title wins at everything LOL! Fried Green Tomatoes! god, I loved that movie! I'd forgotten it was a book too!
ReplyDeleteFried Green Tomatoes is one of my favorite books. :)
DeleteHello!! What an interesting post! "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" has been on my tbr list since I watched the movie a couple years ago. I really liked your blog so I am gonna start following you. You can come to my blog to see my book reviews if you'd like to. Have a nice day :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for you kind comments! :D
DeleteI haven't read those.
ReplyDeleteNot even One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish? ;D
DeleteGreat list, I love that first one!
ReplyDeleteFun theme! Fried Green Tomatoes is one of my favorite novels - just read Flagg's The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion, which is a good long title.
ReplyDeleteAnother is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.
Definitely love that first title! What a mouthful...
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish is a good one! I read it over and over again as a child. This TTT prompt was a bit tricky for me.
ReplyDeleteGood job! Those are some long titles.
