Top Ten Books with adjectives in the title
TTT for March 22, 2022
#TopTenTuesday
📚 📚 📚
For this list, I started from my latest reads. I also only considered the presence of an adjective in the title -not in the subtitle- and only selected books I liked.
My reviews:
📚 The Clairvoyant Countess
📚 The Final Days of Abbot Montrose
VERDICT: A clever plot symbolizing different layers of the Norwegian society of early 20th century. A nice glimpse into the impressive work of Sven Elvestad, aka Stein Riverton.
📚 Red is my Heart
VERDICT: If you want to begin 2022 with love and beauty, heart and art, run right away under the glow of Red is My Heart.
📚 Une Rose seule (A Single Rose)
📚 L’Ombre chinoise [the Chinese shadow] – published as The Shadow Puppet
My reviews:
📚 The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess
📚 The Satanic Verses
📚 Double Indemnity
VERDICT: You like feisty heroines and a lot of action and suspense? Buy the book and meet Mel today!
📚 The Thirteenth Tale
📚 The Hands on French Cookbook
VERDICT: The most yummy book I have read this year. Cook and learn French at the same time!

Hi Emma! Can’t believe I still haven’t read The Thirteenth Tale. I am on holidays (kind of, busy with renovations at our house!) and will try to make a dent in some long overdue books.
I am going to take a look at Red is my Heart. I’ve read and loved The President’s Hat by Antoine Laurain and I see you rate it 5 stars!

Yes, Red is My Heart is very good, a very different genre and style from all the previous books by Laurain!

A TBRR, how fun!
Actually I suggest you move it to your TBL, as the narrator is excellent

An interesting twist to the topic, Emma, you always have good choices.
My TTT this week is good, bad, and ugly.

I’m not sure I twisted anything, just went through my latest reads

True. I just thought it was nice that that’s what you did, twist is probably too much to use for that. Still, good idea.

I started the audio version of The Thirteenth Tale and was enjoying it but the loan period came to an end before I’d got half way through so had to be returned. It hasn’t been available since

I hope you can soon go back to it

I’ll have to try and get it again

WordsandPeace, I love your unique way of analyzing book titles! Why do authors include adjectives in their title? Would I have been drawn to the following works without their adjectives?: “A Peace” (Knowles); “A World” by Huxley; “Education” by Flaubert? Bravo for your post!! Robyn

I just followed the prompt asked by Top Ten Books for that week. I love your idea of these famous titles without the adjective!
