| 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. |
This weeks topic is
Books with Colours in the Titles
Agatha Christie - The Mystery of the Blue Train
It’s on my to read list, I’m slowly working my way through Christie’s catalogue, there is a lot of it!
Joanne Fluke - Blueberry Muffin Murder
This is a series I started during my hiatus, Blueberry Muffin Murder is book three of this cosy crime series and I love them as these books are full of foodie descriptions along with the recipes.
Ronald Dahl - James and the Giant Peach
I haven’t read this for years but I went through my Dahl phase when I was a pre teen and this was one of my favourites, up there with George’s Marvellous Medicine.
Red Knight Falling by Craig Schaefer
I loved this book about a mysterious satellite orbiting the earth, FBI agent Harmony Black
is on the case!
Iron Gold by Pierce Brown
I’ve not read it but the beautiful hardback is sitting on my book shelf judging me!
Black Leopard Red Wolf by Marlon James
Another one with a beautiful cover that is sitting looking at me from my book shelf side eyeing me for not reading it yet!
The Greenland Diaries by Patrick Marsh
Spooky as hell series set in a world devastated by monsters that are summoned by an ominous drum.
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
Read it, loved it, still to finish reading more books in this series - see Iron Gold above!!
All Systems Red by Martha Wells
Ah Murderbot, I love you!
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
This was a fantastic read, but as usual I still need to read the other books!
I loved the Red Queen too! Such a fun YA read. Great list!
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday
Thanks Anna!
DeleteGreat list! I love James and the Giant Peach, and All Systems Red and Black Leopard, Red Wolf both made my list this week, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess!
DeleteI've got a few of these on my bookshelves. Great list!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Thanks Natalie!
DeleteJames and the giant peach is HILARIOUS! I read it in class last year and we had so much fun.
ReplyDeleteWar Storm is on my list for so long now, going to finish that Red Queen series!
I think I will need to re-read Red Queen first, its been a while!
DeleteI have The Red Queen in my stacks here. Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy reading it!
DeleteRed Queen made my list this week, too! I almost used Red Rising, too.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of books with red in the title!
DeleteI love this list! I also loved Red Rising but I still need to read the last two books.
ReplyDeleteI need to re-read the entire series again!
DeleteOh yeah, another peach person. James is an oldie but goodie. My daughter was obsessed with that movie as a kid too.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen the movie, the book is brilliant though!
DeleteI've read almost all of the Agatha Christie's, but it's been a long time. Way before Goodreads and I haven't even added them in there. There are a lot of titles with blue or red in them, right? I had a hard time getting other colors. Nice list!
ReplyDeleteEspecially red, there are a lot of books with red in the title.
DeleteBlueberry Muffin Murder sounds like a fun read!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT .
It’s good fun and part of a bigger series, I think there is twenty something books in it.
DeleteBtw, what do you use to do up your blogger buttons? I love your TTT one!
ReplyDeleteI use Canva, the one above I didn’t need to do much to apart from change the text. They have lots of templates to choose from.
DeleteI forgot all about Red Rising! Confession time: I've never actuall read James and the Giant Peach. Ooops!
ReplyDeleteYou’ll just need to add it to your “to be read in the future” pile!
DeleteThe only one of these I've read is THE BLUEBERRY MUFFIN MURDER. I don't love Fluke's books, but her recipes always sound good. I think I made one of them once and liked it.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
The recipes are great, I’m enjoying them but I mainly there for the food description!
DeleteRed Queen has such a great cover.
ReplyDeleteHere is our <a href="http://www.longandshortreviews.com/miscellaneous-musings/top-ten-tuesday-books-with-yellow-in-the-titles/>Top Ten Tuesday </a>.
It does, it is really striking!
DeleteFun list. The Blueberry Muffin Murder is the only one I've read, but I have the Murderbot Diaries on my TBR. :D
ReplyDeleteMurderbot is a great read, I’m looking forward to reading more in the series.
DeleteTerrific list! I love Agatha Christie; The Mystery of the Blue Train was pretty good, as I recall, though not one of my favorites. She has a couple of others with colours in the title: The Man in the Brown Suit and a Tommy and Tuppence short story called "The Affair of the Pink Pearl" are the ones that jump to mind. As for the other books you listed, the Murderbot books and the Pierce Brown books are on my list to read someday. I have to admit that I wasn't a fan of James and the Giant Peach; when it came to Dahl, I preferred Charlie and the Chocolate Factor and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
ReplyDeleteI love Agatha too, I’ve been working my way through Poirot over the last few years, I’ve really enjoyed them. I think my favourite Dahl book was a toss up between George’s Marvellous Medicine and The BFG. I’ve not reread them as and adult, I really must.
DeleteI liked Red Queen but it wasn't a favourite. I stopped reading after Book 2 because I struggled so much with the second book. I loved Roald Dahl books when I was a kid, he was one of my favourites :)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2020/08/04/top-ten-tuesday-275/
I never made it as far as book 2, maybe one day! Dahl is such a great storyteller, I love his books!
DeleteI always enjoy Joanne Fluke's books, they're such feel good cozies.
ReplyDeleteNice list!
They are, my friend recommended them to me, Ive been slowly working my way through them.
DeleteGreat list! It's nice to see James and the Giant Peach made it. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT list this week!
Thanks! It’s a great book, I’m seeing a lot of love for it!
DeleteOoh yay! I've read a few of these! Just cracked opened All Systems Red too 😉
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Murderbot!
DeleteI need to read Iron Gold - I've loved that series so far.
ReplyDeleteLauren @ Always Me
I love it too but its been so long since I last read any of the books I need to do a complete re-read!
DeleteI like that cover of The Mystery of the Blue Train! That cover style always gets me though. The Fluke covers are always awesome too.
ReplyDeleteThe Fluke covers are great, lovely and colourful. I’m a sucker for the vintage look and Blue Train hits it.
DeleteAlright, I don't think I can resist the Blueberry Muffin Murder! That cover made me smile so much -- great list!
ReplyDeleteThank you Verushka!
DeleteI haven't actually read any of these books (nope, not even James and the Giant Peach) but this is a great prompt for a post!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny!
DeleteI feel like the colors blue and red are the most common ones used in titles. I love that you included James and the Giant Peach - I wouldn't have thought to include that, but peach IS a color.

Yep there is a lot of red and blue out there, crazy how many books have them in the title. I
DeleteGreat list! I've only read James and the Giant Peach, lol. But Blueberry Muffin Murder sounds fun! And of course the Agatha Christie.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Blueberry Muffin Murder is fun but I mostly love these books because of the recipes!
DeleteI figured All Systems Red would be showing up a few times on lists!
ReplyDeleteMore than a few times!!
DeleteI now have all but the last Martha Wells series book sitting pretty on my Kindle, waiting for next year! 📚✨
ReplyDeleteYou have such willpower, I wouldn’t be able to wait!
DeleteI've never heard of The Mystery of the Blue Train. There are so many Agatha Christie books I'm unaware of. ;) Great list!
ReplyDeleteShe has such a vast catalogue! There some I haven’t heard of either!
DeleteSo many wonderful reads this week! I love your list. James and the Giant Peach barely missed making it onto mine. Same with one of Joanne Fluke's books. So many colors, but only ten spaces!
ReplyDeletecool that you even got one with 2 colors!!
ReplyDelete"Red Queen" is an easy add and it's fun to see so many had the same thought. Don't think I've ever heard of the Christie mystery you feature, but it's another perfect fit. :) Thanks so much for the visit to Finding Wonderland.
ReplyDeleteRed Knight Falling sounds really interesting. I'll have to look that one up
