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 topic is Books With Single Word Titles. I’ve selected books that are in my TBR pile in an attempt to make up for my neglect of them. Links from the titles will take you to the full book description on Goodreads.
Liar by Ayelet Gundar-Goshen, trans. by Sondra Silverston – “One mistake can have a thousand consequences”
Treason (Christian Hardy #3) by James Jackson – “Remember, Remember, the Fifth of November… Behind the famous rhyme lies a murderous conspiracy that goes far beyond Guy Fawkes and his ill-fated Gunpowder Plot…”
Sympathy by Olivia Sudjic – “An electrifying novel of blood ties, online identities, and our tormented efforts to connect in the digital age.”
Deposed by David Barbaree – “More gripping than Game of Thrones and more ruthless than House of Cards – this a stunning new thriller of power, treachery and revenge”
Munich by Robert Harris – September 1938. Hitler is determined to start a war.
Chamberlain is desperate to preserve the peace. The issue is to be decided in a city that will forever afterwards be notorious for what takes place there. Munich.

Containment (Sam Shepherd #3) by Vanda Symon – “Chaos reigns in the sleepy village of Aramoana on the New Zealand coast, when a series of shipping containers wash up on the beach and looting begins.”
Little by Edward Carey – “The wry, macabre, unforgettable tale of an ambitious orphan in Revolutionary Paris, befriended by royalty and radicals, who transforms herself into the legendary Madame Tussaud.”
