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!
This prompt was kind of hard to do, and I’m not even entirely sure that I’m doing it right! But this was my attempt from looking at my bookshelves and seeing frequently used words that stood out to me!

Haha you’ve done this much better than me, I have a huge tbr on GR so I’ve had some trouble finding similar titles. 😀 I didn’t really get the point of this prompt. 😀

Great list Melanie!! I was tempted to use “Girl” as well in my list. There are so many suspense/thrillers and fantasy novels with that word in the title.

These sound like fantasy title words to me and I don’t read a lot of fantasy. I do read a lot of mystery/thrillers, though, and the word “bone” shows up often! Not too surprising, I guess 🙂
Happy TTT!

That’s a great list there! And I had trouble deciding how to approach this week’s topic too, so I had to look up a Wordle for fantasy titles 😛

Loll I wanted to finally join top 10 Tuesday but I figured my answers would be the same as most fantasy book lovers. Maybe I will start this next week instead!

Ok I can live with most of these but the fact that Bone is so frequent is kinda.. concerning 😀 I just noticed it for the first time.
