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. http://www.thatartsyreadergirl.com/top-ten-tuesday/

I'm tweaking the topic to interesting book titles that made me grab the book!
1) Help! A Bear Is Eating Me!
A man trapped under his SUV in Alaska is being nibbled by a bear and ponders why it is everyone's fault but his. It sounded funny but I found it dull and the MC was really annoying. I ended up DNFing it. Great cover though!
2) Go The Fuck To Sleep
The rants of a frustrated parent trying to get a child to go to sleep. A short but funny read!
3) Nuclear War: What's In It For You?
When I was about 10 I started becoming obsessed with nuclear war...I was growing up in the 1970's and 1980's Cold War after all! I saw a TV drama at school called Threads about a bomb dropping on the UK and I was fascinated. A week later I was out shopping and with my mum and her cousin. They always bought me a book if I was good so I chose this! I wish I still had my copy as it is so expensive to buy now!
4) The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies Of The Apocalypse
I loved the title and bought it despite being well out of my comfort zone but didn't like it as the characters spoke to each other in nursery rhyme style riddles and it was a quick DNF.
5) The Reformed Vampire Support Group
This was a fun read about the most pathetic bunch of vampires and their rehab support group who set out to find the hunter that killed one of their members.
6) The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-Time
This was also out of my comfort zone as I'm not a contemporary fan. I liked the start, laughed at the inappropriate humour but felt the second half dragged a bit for me.
7) The Turning of the Spit
This was a fun short story about a group of armed pigs who decide to get revenge on the slaughterhouse workers. The cover really caught my eye!
8) Hudson Valley Zombie Apocalypse: Apocalypse Sale
This is the prequel to the HVZA zombie series. The apocalypse breaking out has retailers worried about falling sales so they decide to have an apocalypse sale in the mall. Shoppers defy the zombie outbreak to go to the Black Death sales-and soon regret it!
9) Nobody Loves A Bigfoot Like A Bigfoot Babe
With a title like that and Bigfoot in it, I really wanted this book but when I read it, it was a DNF. It was crude, pathetic humour that you'd expect from a 14 year old boy. The characters are sex obsessed morons and I hated this!
10) The Grimoire Of The Lamb
This is a novella in the Iron Druid series which could be read as a stand-alone and falls into the timeline as book #0.4. Atticus stole a book from an Egyptian goddess and has to return there to get it when a thief takes it from him. He and Oberon battle cats, crocodiles and booby traps with the usual action and humour.

Great titles there lol
ReplyDeleteI read The Reformed Vampire Club a few years ago.
Karen @ For What It's Worth
It was a fun read-I like disfunctional vampires! I haven't read her werewolf follow up yet.
DeleteI do believe I've read the Reformed Vampire Support Group. It had a different cover and I like yours better. We used the same tweak this week!
ReplyDeleteThe version I have is also the boring cover so I just chose this cover instead! I hadn't been going to do a TTT this week until I saw your post and figured I'd read a few weird titles in my time!
Delete:D These are great titles. They totally made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI decided to stick with the books I'd read-I found a lot of really weird books using a google search that I might do in another post!
DeleteReformed Vampire Support Group sounds fun. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat was a decent read and it had a few laughs in it!
DeleteWow, you found some really out there titles! I would have to give every one of these books a second look!
ReplyDeleteAll good titles but a few meh ones for actual reading enjoyment!
Deleteoh man...great list. i do love smiles with my morning coffee, now i need to check out some of those books
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
I hope you find something you like!
DeleteThat was a hilarious group of titles! It's too bad some of the actual books didn't live up to the amazing titles but it's definitely a fun collection!
ReplyDeleteThe bunnies one was really bad for me!
DeleteI liked The Curious Incident of The Dog and The Nighttime.
ReplyDeleteGo The Fuck To Sleep sounds like a book I'd have loved when my son was little... And we wasn't even a bad sleeper!
It was short but funny! If you can borrow it from someone, I'd do that rather than buy it.
