Top Ten Tuesday - Books With Occupations in the Title

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. Top Ten Tuesday was originally 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.

Below are ten books I would like to read with occupations in the title!

1. The Editor by Steven Rowley 


2. The Gardener of Baghdad by Ahmad Ardalan


3. The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict



4. The Cake Therapist by Judith Fertig


5. Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak



6. A Country Doctor's Notebook by Mikhail Bulgakov


7. The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia



8. Butcher by Joyce Carol Oates


9. The Lindbergh Nanny byMariah Fredericks



10. The Journalist and the Murderer by Janet Malcom


Have you read any of the above books?

  1. Ooh nice! Mostly new to me ones but The Daughter of Doctor Moreau is in my TBR pile and I somehow missed the title when looking for them! Must not have gotten that far along! Lol.

  7. I meant to include Doctor Zhivago but somehow he didn't make the final cut. Probably because I also had him on my favourite classics list.
    Still, lovely list. I need to read Butcher, I'm a huge JCO fan.
    Thanks for visiting my list:

  9. I could happily have been some of these---especially Cake Therapist---but probably not a Butcher!

    1. It's always fun to discover other readers/bloggers have read the same books as you... OR have the same books on their wishlist.
