Top Ten Tuesday – Top 10 Unique Book Titles
Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is Top Ten Unique Book Titles. I’m thinking of this week’s topic in terms of titles that jumped out at me and made me want to read the book even if it was just to figure out how the title ties into the story.

The Book I’m reading now is called Save A Truck, Ride a Redneck! Lol
Haha! Now that sounds like a fun read!
I love the title Lily and the Octopus, so clever. Great pics for this weeks prompt. My TTT
Thanks!
I love clever or unique book titles. I’ve only read Simon Vs. from your list, I believe – but I have Turtles All the Way Down to read ASAP!

I really need to pick up Turtles All The Way Down soon. I love John Green’s books.
Some great titles on this list! I’ve read just a few of them, and some others are on my TBR, especially Simon Vs. My TTT: https://www.whatshesread.com/single-post/2017/10/24/Top-10-Tuesday-Unique-Book-Titles
Thanks!
Turtles All the Way Down is definitely a unique title. I have no plans on reading it but the title is intriguing.
Yeah, I’ve seen it on so many lists this week. I guess we’re all in agreement about it being unique, lol.
After reading the book and visiting several times, I moved to Savannah! I’ve been here 15 years now.

I traveled to Savannah after reading that book as well. It’s a wonderful city. I loved my time there.
I love trying to figure out why a book is given its title. It’s like an aha! moment when I figure it out. You put together a great list here, Suzanne! Douglas Adams’ books all have such unique titles, don’t they? Plus Hitchhiker’s is a fun book to match! I need to read Simon and the Homo Sapians Agenda. And Dorothy Must Die just screams, “Read me!”
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I hope you enjoy Simon when you get around to reading it. It’s such a sweet read.
They are some pretty clever book titles. lol…
Thanks!
Great list! I must say the title Turtles all the way down has intrigues me ever since news of the book release started appearing on social media
Right? And I have seen it almost so many lists this week so I think a lot of readers are intrigued by it as well. 🙂
SImon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda, definitely! And yes, Turtles All The Way Down is such an intruiging title too. Dorothy Must DIe has been on my TBR, mostly because of the title, haha 🙂
LOL! Dorothy Must Die ended up on my TBR because of the title too.
Nice list! I’ve never read The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but I’d like to. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Thanks! It’s a pretty fun read.
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda has a great title, Turtles All The Way Down is such a weird but intriguing title!
I agree about Turtles being weird. I can’t wait to read it to see how John Green came up with that title.
Cozy mysteries have the best titles, don’t they? I love Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, too. I was so sad to see they changed it to Love, Simon for the movie.
Fun list!
Oh, that is a bummer they changed the Simon title for the movie. I hadn’t realized that.
Turtles is on so many lists this week. It’s a great title!
It really is. I think I saw it on almost every list I looked at this week. I can’t wait to read the book and see how the title fits in with the story.
‘Turtles’ made my list, and just yesterday I caved and bought a copy… so we’ll see how that decision fares. 😉
The ‘Witness Protection’ title is really cute, and that’s also a new-to-me book/author. Might be one I have to look into! Oh, and ‘Dorothy’ is a really unique title, too!
Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland.
I hope you enjoy Turtles. I’ve read some great reviews and some not-so-great. I still want to read it no matter what though.
Turtles is on my list too! And I’d planned to make Hitchhiker’s Guide my next read Great list.
My TTT
Thanks! Hitchhiker’s is a lot of fun so I hope you’ll enjoy it 🙂
