Top Ten Tuesday - Unique Book Titles

If you're a reader like me, the part of your life where you decide what to read next can be an overwhelming experience.  

There are so many books I want to read...where do I start????  

The idea that more books are published on any given day than I could ever read in my lifetime makes my brain freak out a little bit too :( I heard that on an Anne Bogel podcast today on my way home from work.  

I rely on book covers and catchy titles to reel in the finalists when I'm searching.  I looked through my review archives to see what I had there that jumped out at me...books I know the title had something to do with me choosing it.

Here they are:

The Alley of Love and Yellow Jasmines by Shohreh Aghdashloo

I'm a huge memoir fan as is apparent by this list.

Between a Rock and a Hot Place by Tracey Jackson

Memoir and humor...I'll take it all day, any day.

The stuff about getting older is just icing on the cake :) 

Bossypants by Tina Fey

Women's issues, memoir, man's world, humor...bossy britches to boot.

I felt a little left out of this one bc of all the references to Third Rock (which I didn't watch), but who wouldn't want to read a book called "BossyPants"?  

Who wouldn't want to be a "BossyPants?"

Confessions of a Prairie Bitch by Alison Arngrim

Ok, who doesn't like a tell-all by a child actor??  While some celebrity memoirs can be dull, this one was anything but.  Alison Arngrim has quite a voice and just as interesting of a story to tell as well.

Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen

I love anything to do with Mennonites and the Amish...this memoir was no different.  There was a sequel to this one Mennonite Gets Married, but I wasn't as interested in that one.  I think it's still on my shelf, however, and I may just pull it down.  I remember this book being so dang funny.  

Sad Desk Salad by Jessica Grose

A working girl...who eats lunch at her desk every day...technology...learning the ropes in a man's world.  Yes, thank you.

The United States of Arugula by David Kamp

My youngest daughter's name is Reagan, and sometimes when we're feeling silly, we call her "Arugula"...I know that's part of the reason I accepted this book for review.  I ended up marking this one up so much, and it's still on my keeper of all keepers shelf :)

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender
I haven't finished this review yet...oy.

A family saga...the best...with a little magic and food mixed in for "flavor"...see what I did there?

Walking in Circles before Lying Down by Merrill Markoe

I listened to this one and loved it so!  Definitely for the dog fans out there :)
