Hello, hello. Today I am flying across country and so this post comes to you automated. As always, if you leave a comment, I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Today is another Top Ten Tuesday! (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.)
Topic: ‘October 1: Book Titles with Numbers In Them (You could really challenge yourself and do numbers 1-10 or just any numbers at all. Submitted by Emma @ Words and Peace)’
Not going to lie. This is going to be fun. STIPULATIONS: I must own the book. Lets see if I can do this.

Okay that was a cheat again. LOL I suppose that Double isn’t exactly a number.
NEW STIPULATION: One Book Per Series and I’ve read them. Better? Also, no need to actually line up the numbers properly. So here we are. My Ten books with numbers in them (in descending order instead of order of like. So greatest number to smallest)

The Seven Habits of a Highly Effective Teen by Sean Covey
Okay short story time about this book. I got it unironically once for a class in HS, because my class was horrible and our teacher wanted us to be better. So she had us read the book in a circle with the whole class, out loud. I remember that it was the most irritating thing ever, but it sure did shape up the students who were acting out. I’ve just always kept it, but I’m not sure the book helped or if was being forced to read the book. I’d put my money on the latter.

Zeros by Scott Westerfeld
As a reminder the list above is in no special order other than descending order of numbers and the three conditions: I have read them all, one book per series, and I own the book. I do like the books a lot, and if the list were in order of actual preference it would be very different. For now, I decided to go with the joke instead. It seems better to me in a way. Who knew I had so many books with numbers in the titles?
I know naught what else to say. So… Until next time!

Haha I did the same thing with mine, trying to restrict myself to one per series, doing them in order from 1 to 10, and only using books I’ve actually read! I was so close, but fell short on #7 😅

I feel that. I had trouble with eight for many of these. (Which is why I used Eight Cousins twice). Authors really like to count in titles, just not with those awkward sevens and eights. lol
