Top Ten Tuesday: Book Titles that Make Great News Headlines

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.


Welcome back to another week of TTT! I love this week’s prompt about headline making titles. I’ve always admired super unique titles that make a book stand out, and lately, there have been such creative ones releasing.

I’ve gathered these books out of the collection of books I’ve read just to narrow it, but I know there are some amazing ones on my TBR still that haven’t been included here – need a cut off somehow and this seemed fitting.

Without further ado, let’s begin!

  • Love in the Time of Serial Killers by Alicia Thompson
  • Born a Crime by Trevor Noah
  • Clementine and Danny Save the World (and Each Other) by Livia Blackburne
  • This is the Way the World Ends by Jen Wilde
  • Someone Is Always Watching by Kelley Armstrong
  • I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
  • The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
  • There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins
  • One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus
  • How Not to Fall in Love by Jacqueline Firkins

What do you think about these titles? Do they make you want to see what they’re about more? Do you prefer titles that are short or these longer ones that could be an attention-grabbing headline?

Let me know your thoughts (or additional title ideas) in the comments below!
