Top 10 Tuesday: Book Titles That Describe Me/My Life

Top Ten Tuesday was created byย The Broke and the Bookishย in June of 2010 and was moved toย That Artsy Reader Girlย in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This weekโ€™s topic isย Book Titles that Describe Me/My Lifeย (Submitted by Susan @ blogginboutbooks.com)

1. Megan Meade’s Guide to the McGowan Boys by Kate Brian (5 stars)

I go by Wren on WordPress for the aesthetic, but my real name is Megan. This book was one of my favorites as a young teen and is a predecessor of My Life with the Walter Boys.

2. The Redhead Revealed by Alice Clayton

Surprise! I have red hair. It leans more on the auburn side rather than ginger, but it’s always the first thing someone comments on when they first meet me.

3. The Quiet Girl by S.F. Kosa

I’m an introvert. “Quiet” has been used to describe me many times throughout my life.

4. Attachments by Rainbow Rowell (5 stars)

I work in an office setting. I’m constantly sending emails with attachments to clients.

5. Ready or Not by Meg Cabot

I had such a long hiatus from this blog because I got hired in my field of study in July 2021 after graduating with my Bachelor’s degree and got swept up in learning as much as I possibly could on the job. After completing my Master’s degree earlier this year, I’m on to studying for further certification in my field of work. It’s been a whirlwind, but I’ve loved every second of it.

6. The Reader by Traci Chee

Self-explanatory avid reader reminder. I have always loved reading, from when I first learned as a child. However, I’ve always kind of wished that I could have a fun story like many others of finding That Book as a teen that made them fall in love with reading.

7. Once Upon a Dream by Liz Braswell

Like most readers, I’m a huge dreamer.

8. Needles and Pearls by Gil McNeil

I’m a needlecrafter. My preference is cross-stitch, but I’ve dabbled in embroidery and quilting as well.

9. Love That Dog by Sharon Creech

I love animals, especially dogs. We have had Basset Hounds throughout most of my life.

10. Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover (5 stars)

I hope to one day be married.


This was harder than I thought it would be as my mind kept automatically going to characters that I identified with instead of book titles. Do we have any titles in common?
