I love a challenge and when I came across That Artsy Reader Girl and her Top Ten Tuesday – I knew I wanted to be a part of it! Every week there is a new topic and this week it is Honorifics in the Title. I decided this would be my first post for Top Ten Tuesday, but it was much more difficult than I thought it would be. It was hard to find 10 books that I had read that used different honorifics. I finally found 10 that met all my criteria and were all books I rated 4 stars on Goodreads. Almost all of these books were historical romance and I read years ago.
- Title: Mr. Fixer Upper
- Author: Lucy Score
- Genre: Contemporary Romance
- First book in Fixer series. Enemies to lover trope. Inside the world of a HGTV type show.
- Title: The Mystery of Mrs. Christie
- Author: Marie Benedict0
- Genre: Historical Fiction
- Did you know Agatha Christie disappeared for 11 days? AND there was never an explanation given for what happened during those 11 days? I didn’t until I read this book. I loved this fictional account of what could have happened during that time.
- Title: The Duke and I
- Author: Julia Quinn
- Genre: Historical Romance
- First book in the Bridgertons series which the Netflix series The Bridgertons was based on. I read all of these books over 10 years ago so I don’t remember them all that well. At one point, I owned all of them in the series so I must have liked them. Also, I have never watched the Netflix series.
- Title: A Lady’s Guide to Etiquette and Murder
- Author: Dianne Freeman
- Genre: Historical Fiction, Cozy Mystery, Romance
