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 I’d Give Different Titles To. Coming up with book titles is a job for experts I reckon, so for my list I’ve highlighted some books published under different titles, whether that’s for reasons of geography, film tie-in, too much similarity with other books or because the original title was rejected.
Links from the book titles will take you to the book description on Goodreads or my review.
