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 – 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 bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books with Honorifics in the Title, a topic suggested by the lovely Joanne at Portobello Book Blog. Links from the title will take you to my review or the book description on Goodreads.
- The Wardrobe Mistress by Patrick McGrath
- Miss Treadway and the Field of Stars by Miranda Emmerson
- Mister Timeless Blyth by Alan Spence
- Mr Standfast by John Buchan
- Sir Quixote of the Moors by John Buchan
- The Ballad of Lord Edward and Citizen Small by Neil Jordan
- The Yellow Admiral by Patrick O’Brian
- The Queen of Dirt Island by Donal Ryan
- Dr Copernicus by John Banville
- The King’s General by Daphne du Maurier











What a fun and creative topic for Top Ten Tuesday! I love your selection of books with honorifics in the title – The Queen of Dirt Island and The King’s General sound particularly intriguing. Great post!

Well done when I looked at my own books for ideas I had rather a lot in the romance genre that fitted the meme.

Oh, that’s interesting. Perhaps it is something that’s popular for titles in that genre.
