So, we’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s prompt is: Books with Names/Character Names In the Titles (Submitted by BookLoversBlog and Lucy @ Bookworm Blogger).
Well, this prompt reminds me of one from a bookish tag that I was tagged in yesterday and it was the prompt I was probably going to struggle with the most… but not anymore! I digress though 😬 Was it just me or did anyone else have a hard time finding books for this prompt?
Since I’m attempting to tackle the TBR this year, I decided to focus on books that I already own. I tried to find ones that have been on my shelves the longest but that got too complicated so I’m just listing the ones I came across as I was scanning my shelves! 😌 Without further ado, let’s get right into it.
Felix Ever After
Act Your Age, Eve Brown
A Man Called Ove
Tahira in Bloom
Hana Khan Carries On
Rebecca
Xeni
Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating
Coraline
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
Did you have trouble finding books with character names in the title? Have you read any of these on your TBR or have you already read them?

Several books on your first row are books I’d like to read. Putting names in the titles of books seems to be quite popular right now.

I have seen “A Man Called Ove” on some lists (and read it myself) but we don’t share a single character name on our lists.

I didn’t have trouble finding names. I think it’s cool that we have completely different titles. I can’t wait to see how many different ones there are today.

This was definitely a prompt that seemed like it would be easy for me but ended up being more challenging! I’ve read and enjoyed Rebecca and Coraline! I still need to read Eve Brown, Ove, and Tahira in Bloom. All of these could have ended up on my list, as well. I just had too many to choose from. 😉 Happy reading!
