Top 5 Tuesday: Books with Occupations in the Title

 

Top 5 Tuesday: Books with Occupations in the Title

Welcome back to Top 5 Tuesday, now following the list from That Artsy Reader Girl! As always, I do a top 5 instead of a top 10 because I tend to struggle to find 10 books for prompts.

(Yes, I am late today, I am sick and doing odd shifts at work, so I am doing my best)

This week's prompt is..... books with occupations in the title


These are in no particular order

  1. The Trouble with Love and Coaches by Harriet Ashford
  2. The Manicurist's Daughter by Susan Lieu
  3. The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters
  4. Game, Get, Matchmaker by Evie Sterling
  5. The Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco by Michelle Chouinard

This was honestly such a fun prompt to look for. I had a bunch that most certainly referenced an MC's profession and whatnot. Even one that mentions being a hockey boy, but I dug deep into my reads from last year as well and found titles that truly due include the name of a profession. The last book on this list does count because one of the characters is a tour guide.


Here it all is in a pretty lil' graphic 😁



Truly, I think this week's prompt is my favorite I have done so far. I hope there are more like this on the list soon in the future! I fully intend on doing this (actually on Tuesday) next week, so I shall see you then!

Top 5 Tuesday: Non-Fiction Books

 

Top 5 Tuesday: Non-Fiction Books

Welcome back to Top 5 Tuesday! This week, I wanted to dive into a genre I often don't appreciate enough

This week's prompt is..... non-fiction books


I have read all of these books this year. I might go back at the end of the year and see if my list changes at all. They are in order based on my star rating. 

  1. Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals about Death by Caitlin Doughty
  2. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty
  3. Be Prepared by Vera Brosgol
  4. The Manicurist's Daughter by Susan Lieu
  5. Good Lookin' Cookin': A Year of Meals - A Lifetime of Family, Friends, and Food by Dolly Parton and Rachel Parton George


Can you tell I like Caitlin Doughty? She has a YouTube channel called Ask a Mortician. It's where I first discovered her and fell in love with her style of storytelling. If you don't mind learning about death, I highly recommend her books and videos.

Here it all is in a pretty lil' graphic 😁



Hopefully, I'll see you back here next Tuesday!
