#TopTenTuesday Books With Alliterative Titles #TuesdayBookBlog

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 Authors I’ve Met however I did a similar post a while back so I’ve come up with my own topic: Books With Alliterative Titles. I’ve limited myself to two word titles (so nothing that includes ‘a’, ‘the’ or ‘of’) and to books I’ve read. Links from each title will take you to my review.

  1. Black Butterflies by Priscilla Morris
  2. Carrion Crow by Heather Parry
  3. Devorgilla Days by Kathleen Hart
  4. Latchkey Ladies by Marjorie Grant
  5. Love Lane by Patrick Gale
  6. Miss Marley by Vanessa Lafaye
  7. Sergeant Salinger by Jerome Charyn
  8. Swan Song by Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott
  9. Venetian Vespers by John Banville
  10. Witch Wood by John Buchan

Can you think of other alliterative book titles?
