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.
Happy first Tuesday of September. This week's Top Ten Tuesday is about books with occupations in the title. This should be interesting to talk about.
The Pirate's Purchase by Elva Cobb Martin: Who wants to sign up to be a pirate with me? Oh, wait, I get seasick. New plan.
Neeta Lyfee: I Left My Brains in San Francisco by Karina Fabian: How about we become zombie exterminators? Oh, wait, I am afraid of zombies.
Death of a Clown by Heather Haven: I used to like clowns, but then I saw It by Stephen King. No thanks.
A Mother's Love by Charlotte Hubbard: Don't anyone come at me that motherhood is not an occupation.
What the Bishop Saw by Vannetta Chapman: I don't think being a bishop is in my future.
Against Doctor's Orders by K. M. Daughters: Won't be a doctor either. Way too many years in school.
The Accidental Demon Slayer by Angie Fox: Do you think I've watched enough Buffy the Vampire Slayer to have a career as a demon slayer?
Code Girls by Liza Mundy: This career would be fascinating. Not sure about the uniforms.
Chasing Lincoln's Killer by James Swanson: I doubt I'm designed to be a killer, but with the right motivation...
Tell Me Something Tuesday (TMST) is hosted by Jen Twimom at That's What I'm Talking About. TMST is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general. Participation is optional, and you leave your comments in the weekly post if you are participating. Check it out if you would like to join.
This week, Tell Me Something Tuesday is all about the books we are looking forward to reading this fall. It is more than likely that I will be reading books on my review schedule, but if I were dreaming about books I would like to read, these would be some of them.
Annie Lennox: Retrospective is due out toward the end of this month. I've always found Lennox and her music fascinating.
The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman is also due out this month. I have yet to read any of the Thursday Murder Club mysteries, but I desperately want to pick up at least one.
Coming in November is The American Revolution: An Intimate History by Geoffrey C. Ward and Ken Burns. I've loved everything that Ken Burns has ever done, and this is one of my favorite time periods to read about.
How about you? What are you looking forward to reading this fall?

I read The Accidental Demon Slayer, if I remember rightly, she wasn't very good at her job!
Here's a link to my post

I love your commentary along with the titles, LOL! You are right, mother is an occupation, but not one we tend to think of.
I haven't read it in a while. Seems like being bad at that job could be deadly. Thanks for visiting today, Rosie Amber.
Thanks, Cindy. Glad you liked it. Appreciate the visit.
Haha I loved your comments! They made me smile.
I am very excited for the next Richard Osman book. I have managed to watch about half an hour, maybe less of the Netflix film as I can only watch it during lunchtime now that everyone is back at work and school. My 2 year old isn't very interested in watching it or even eating his lunch so I have a tight window whilst he investigates his lunch before deciding that actually he doesn't want it 🤣🙄
OMG.. I love all of the non-traditional job titles in your mix. Killer is the best! I haven't read any of the Thursday Murder Club mysteries, but I plan to watch the new show on Netflix.
The only one of these occupations I'm cut out for is motherhood, but you know what? It's tougher than all these others combined! LOL
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
Great list! I really enjoyed this week's topic.
