Tope Ten Tuesday - Book Titles With Ordinal Numbers

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 with ordinal numbers in their title. These books sound like good reads to add to my reading wishlist.

1. The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff

2. Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare

3. The Third Life of Grange Copeland by Alice Walker

4. First Boy by Gary D Schmidt

5. The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult 

6. Second Nature by Alice Hoffman

7. The Fifth Agreement by Miguel Ruiz

8. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

9. Fourth Grade Rats by Jerry Spinelli

10. First Crossing by Donald R. Gallo

Have you read any of the above books?

  1. I've read The 19th Wife and The Tenth Circle. Enjoyed Ebershoff's but was disappointed with Picoult's.

  2. I've been wanting to read the Thirteenth Tale ever since I was in undergrad and still haven't! I hope you enjoy all of these when you get to them.

  6. I've read THE TENTH CIRCLE and THE THIRTEENTH TALE. Both of them were quite awhile ago, so I don't really remember the stories. I *think* I liked them, LOL.

    Happy TTT!

  7. Nice that you found some different ones. I just realized that I also read the thirteenth tale but somehow overlooked it. Still, I managed to find ten others, see here:
