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 That Live in My Head Rent-Free. I’m going to blame the heat for the fact I couldn’t think of any books that met that description. Instead I’ve done another version of a recent topic – Book Titles That Include the Word [“X”] – but chosen a different word: Night. Links from each title will take you to my review.
- The Night Swimmer by Simon J. Houlton
- Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf
- Night Train to Marrakech by Dinah Jeffries
- The Night Raids by Jim Kelly
- Dead of Night by Simon Scarrow
- The Night Ship by Jess Kidd
- The Night Shift by Alex Finlay
- A Night of Flames by Matthew Harffy
- Daughters of Night by Laura Shepherd-Robinson
- The Night of the Flood by Zoe Somerville

Great list. I always struggle with thinking of a word until I see everyone else’s posts 😂

I hadn’t realised before I picked it just how many books I’ve read with ‘night’ in the total.

The word “night” in a title gives a book an edge.

Good choices. I LOVED Our Souls at Night. The movie was pretty good, too. I don’t say that often.

It was a book club pick that I probably wouldn’t have read otherwise but loved.

I haven’t read any of these, but have heard of a couple. Great pick for the word!

I love how you changed up the prompt! I love me a good historical fiction so those war ones sound like something right up my alley!

My brain couldn’t tackle this topic either. The heat is a great source to blame (rather than my aging memory)! Ha ha. I probably have a lot of “night” books on my TBR list, too. It’s a popular word in mystery/thriller and historical fiction titles. Great topic.
Happy TTT!

I always feel bad when I can’t come up with anything for a topic someone else has suggested :(
