My Top Ten Favorite (Extraordinary) Book Titles

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog!

Today’s theme is all about book titles! I’ve chosen ten titles that are either a) really long, b) really cool or c) really strange. This was fun! I’m linking my reviews in case you want to know more about them:

The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind | A Boy and his Dog at the End of the World

Her Silhouette, Drawn in Water | This is How You Lose the Time War

We Are All Completely Fine | My Best Friend’s Exorcism

The Last Weekend: A Novel of Zombies, Booze & Power Tools | Terror is Our Business: Dana Roberts’ Casebook of Horrors

Do You Dream of Terra-Two? | Down Among the Sticks and Bones

      I decided to just look over my “read” list and I just happened to have a lot of long weird titles, so I just went with those:-)

  1. These are some really great titles. I can’t wait to read “The Girl Who Moved S**t with her Mind.” I saw my library order a copy and was excited. I still need to read “A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World” but I’m afraid.

  2. The Captain

    Excellent list matey! I have read six of them. I be a sucker for cool titles. I just finished the sh*t book this morning and will be reading the sequel. I still need to read we are all completely fine. I adore that title.

      I hope you do read We Are All Completely Fine. Not at all what I expected, but one of my favorites:-)

  3. I totally thought about The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind, too! But I didn’t add it, because I talk about that book SO MUCH, so I went with some ones I haven’t talked about as much. xD I definitely love the title This is How You Lose the Time War. And Down Among the Sticks and Bones is such a fun title to say! It was always my favorite title in that series.

        That’s exactly what I was going to say, she has fantastic titles!
        I really like the rest of the list too, those are all very interesting titles.

  4. This is How You Lose the Time War is definitely one of my favorite titles this year. One of my all time favorites is The Lies of Locke Lamora. It just rolls off the tongue and you instantly know you are in for a whole mess of deception!

      I love The Lies of Locke Lamora too, I mean any book with “lies” in the title, you know it’s going to be good:-)

  5. These are all fantastic examples.. I think A Boy and His Dog just might end up being my favorite of the year….hard to say yet though, there’s been so many great reads this year. 🙂

  6. Some of those are really long, all right. I have to say though, I’m not much of a fan of the “swearing” in titles trend – I didn’t mind it when it was just one or two, but now it’s like EVERYONE is doing it. I find the censoring to be silly too, like Sh*t and F*ck…I mean, you’re trying to be a total edgelord by having a naughty word in your title, but still bowing to the publishers and the public – good job! 😛

  7. Nice! I’d like to try reading those last two: Do You Dream of Terra-Two and Down Among the Sticks and Bones. And to add my own pick to the list, I enjoyed Cowboy Feng’s Space Bar and Grille by Steven Brust. Strange, fun read.
