Top Ten Tuesday

The first one on my list is the longest with 19 words, and the only one I haven't read. The other titles range from 7-10 words and are all from books I've actually read. Here they are:

  1. 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!

    1. His books do all have long titles. I just went with the first one because it was easiest. :)

  2. Great 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.

  4. Nineteen words? Wow! What a fun title, though.

    I'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!

  5. The first one has such a curious (and long) title that I think I need to look for it.

    1. It's such a good book, isn't it? I really love that one. :)

  7. I 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'!

  8. These 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

    1. It's definitely easier to say and remember that way! :D

  10. The 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.

    1. Yeah, those subtitles make for some REALLY long titles.

  11. I was trying to recommend The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society to someone today funnily enough and got completely lost. LOL!

    1. :D That one's hard for me to remember, too. I'm always getting the words mixed up.

  19. Fun 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.

    Another is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.

    Definitely love that first title! What a mouthful...

  20. 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.
