It seems I'm always reading about or looking at books. They pop up like old friends I haven't met yet in my Goodreads feed, book bloggers' tweets, and new ebook additions to my library's catalog. And lists. I can't resist new and notable, year's best, summer reads, book club favorites. You list it and I'm probably there, scrolling away and saving to wishlists or setting a library hold.
Now and then a delightful title reaches out and almost physically grabs my attention. I experience a brief joy bubble when I find one of these. The creative, irreverent, funny, saucy and badass titles always have a home in my heart and my links folder.
It doesn't matter if it's a book I'm not keen to read – a good title gets my props and admiration all the same. Of course, some of them I definitely do want to read. Two with great monikers by Anne Helen Petersen and Grant Ginder are lovingly included in my TBR list, and one I read last year by Balli Kaur Jaswal features a show-stopping title.
For your scrolling pleasure, I've compiled 10 Brilliant Book Titles. I'm including ones by the three authors I just mentioned that I've read or plan to, along with seven more I may never read, but still get a kick from gazing at the covers.
Which of these have you read? Please comment on whether the content was as fabulous as the title! And feel free to suggest more awesome titles, too!
