Today’s Topic: Books with Character Names In the Titles
Hosted by: That Artsy Reader Girl
Well, the obvious answer to this one would have been to list all the biographies and autobiographies on my TBR list. But that would have been too easy. And while I originally thought I would have a hard time meeting this week’s criteria, I was surprised to realize there are lots of books with character names in the title.
Stone ,The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip , The Forgotten Life of Eva Gordon ,Miss Witherspoon Goes to War, Dearest Josephine, A Chance for Sunny Skies, Remembering Jamie, John Eyre, The Songbook of Benny Lament, Jo & Laurie, Christy, Louisa, Gentleman Jim, Renata and the Fall from Grace, The Haunting of Maddy Claire, Anne of Manhattan, Rhett Butler’s People, Dear Sully, Daddy Long Legs, Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish, Mr. Rochester, Marilla of Green Gables, Seeing Miss Heartstone, Always Jane, The Secret French Recipes of Sophie Valroux
“John Eyre”! I had to look at that twice! Interesting list. Thanks for sharing.

John Eyre was such a great gender flip of a familiar story. If you get a chance to read it, you should.
The Haunting of Maddy Clare sure sounds good.

I know! I’ve had it on my TBR list forever.
Biographies and memoirs are exactly the route I took with my list! I needed easy because, for some reason, I totally blanked on the character names thing. I don’t often talk about NF on my blog, so it made for a nice change 🙂
Happy TTT!

I was sorely tempted to go that route. Although I do mention bios from time to time on my website.
I thought the same thing and then had more than I could possibly use! You have a great list. Did you like Marilla of Green Gables? https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2022/02/top-ten-tuesday-character-names.html
I did like Marilla of Green Gables. I always love back stories. It’s familiar and yet it isn’t with it’s Avonlea setting.
great list. I have john Eyre on my TBR.

I hope you enjoy it!
Ooo! I should have included Christy on my list. Haven’t read it, but it is a classic. 🙂
