Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic β putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggersβ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Books with Character Names In the Title. This was a great topic that had me browsing the titles of books I’ve read. Links from the titles will take you to my review.
Charlotte by Helen Moffett
Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell
Jane’s Country Year by Malcolm Saville
Little by Edward Carey (the main character is known as ‘Little’, I promise!)
Girl A by Abigail Dean
Violets by Alex Hyde (two for the price of one!)
Lily by Rose Tremain
Oh William! by Elizabeth Strout
Cecily by Annie Garthwaite
My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell

This was much more fun than I thought it would be, and wow… all the posts are VERY different. (One had 10 books all with the name Alice in the title!)

I haven’t even heard of most of these! I have heard great things about Strout. I need to read her one of these days.
Happy TTT!
