| 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. |

DeleteHaha wow, that last one is quite a mouthful. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI know! I had to double check it was a real book!
DeleteWhoa! You found some really long (and really funny!) titles!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela!
DeleteThese are all wonderful. I feel like the folks who wrote these titles were stringing together a whole slew of random thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI know, some of them are just bonkers!
DeleteWorld War Z was such a good story, too.
ReplyDeleteMy post.
It was, the film wasn’t too bad either!
DeleteYou found some good titles! I'm loving #5😁

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHoly- thoses sure are long 😂 300 characters.. I like the long titles but that’s an exagerations ahaha
ReplyDeleteKristina @ books-and-dachshunds.com
I know, crazy long!
DeleteOk I'm really curious about 5 Good Reasons!!!
ReplyDeleteI know, what have dolphins ever done to us!
DeleteI also have number 2 on my TTT and I've seen it on quite a few other lists, seems like that could be the winner.
ReplyDeleteYes it’s been very popular!
DeleteThe "Don't Tell Mum..." title is so funny! Love that one.
ReplyDeleteOne day I’ll actually get round to reading it!
DeleteAh Allie's books! I loved the first one and hope to read the second one soon. I'm too lazy to put a list of these together so I went rogue again!
ReplyDeleteThe second one is great and much longer!
DeleteLove your choices! World War Z is one of my favorite books. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes it’s a great book!
DeleteI didn't even think about counting characters! For my list, I looked at the lengths of the titles of the books I've read so far this year and the longest one was only 8 words. I guess I like shorter titles :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Longer titles can be a mouthful!
DeleteGreat list! I also have the Hyperbole book on my list!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Top Ten Tuesday!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
I love Hyperbole!
DeleteI'm not sure if you or DebNance at Readerbuzz win for longest title I've seen. That last one is a doozy!
ReplyDeleteI had to check it was a real book!
DeleteI glanced at my list of nonfiction reads and came up with one that is exceptionally long:
ReplyDeleteWhen My Time Comes: Conversations about Whether Those Who Are Dying Should Have the Right to Determine When Life Should End by Diane Rehm.
That is definitely long!
DeleteJonas Jonasson is definitely known for lengthy titles :D
