Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature/meme now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. The meme was originally the brainchild of The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is Books With Occupations in the Title.
Books On My TBR With Occupations In the Title
In interpreting today’s prompt, I decided to go with books I want to read, rather than books I have already read. To whittle it down further, I left out hereditary titles (Queen, Princess, Duke, Marquess, Earl, etc.), even though in some respects, these were also occupations. Given the number of books I have with “witch” in the title, I decided to leave that one out, too; it’s arguably more an identity than an occupation.
