Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.

Today’s topic is Book Titles Featuring Ordinal Numbers 

I never realized how few books I’ve read with ordinal numbers until I tried looking for books for this prompt, so I decided to do books beginning with the letter G for my alphabetical prompts instead. I did add a single book with an ordinal number; it’s the only one I’ve read that I can think of! I’m looking forward to finding some good ordinal number books on everyone else’s lists that I can add to the TBR.

Top Ten Books Beginning with G

1. Grass by Sheri S. Tepper – One of my favorite scifi books by one of my favorite scifi authors. It’s about humans who have migrated to a planet of grass that’s already inhabited by other species. I desperately need to reread this one, it’s been a while.
2. Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry – I’ve enjoyed many of Emily Henry’s books and this was the latest one. The premise is similar to TJR’s The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, but the vibes are a lot more lighthearted and I loved it.
3. The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo – My favorite Malaysian author writing about Malaysian Chinese folklore. I cannot recommend this book enough! I reminds me so much of my own family’s history and culture, and it’s just a really good story in and of itself.
4. Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell – One of the most popular classics of all time, and one of my favorite books still. I no longer see it as a romance because of how problematic it is now that we know better, but I do still see it as a very important cultural and historical snapshot of the times.
5. The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson – I read this so long ago I honestly cannot remember a single detail about it except that it made an impression on me. This means it’s time to reread!
6. Gerald’s Game by Stephen King – This was one of the first King books I read and I was completely drawn in by the psychological horror. I remember feeling such awe at the way King tells the story because nothing tangible happens for hours except in the MC’s head, but you can just feel the horror from the way he writes it.
7. The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck – This book was in my father’s library and I read it when I was too young to fully appreciate it. I think it’s time to reread it in my adulthood, I’m pretty sure I’ll get a lot more out of it now.
8. The Girls I’ve Been by Tess Sharpe – This is young adult but I loved the story and the MC. The author has written several young adult books with really interesting female main characters and I just love them. This was the first one I read, and there’s also a sequel that I haven’t read yet.
9. The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown – I’ve probably mentioned a few times now that I’m a huge fan of the author, and I loved this book. I love all her books. They make me feel like I could be a better person, so there’s hope for me yet!
10. Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir – My token book featuring an ordinal number. I listened to it on audio and missed a lot of details so I didn’t want to read the sequel until I reread on print and understand what’s happening a little more.

Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Would you read any of these books?
