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 Books with Honorifics in the Title
I like today’s topic and I can’t wait to see everyone’s lists, but I missed several previous TTT topics that I really want to do so I decided to go with Books on My Summer 2025 TBR for my topic today! We did Books I’d Like to Re-read last week and I stated that I wanted to read them soon so they are definitely on my Summer TBR as well, but I’ll try to go with different titles today!
Top Ten Books on My Summer 2025 TBR
- If On A Winter’s Night A Traveler by Italo Calvino – It’s one of my in-person bookclub friend’s favorite book and I’m excited to read something she likes.
- Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman – A different bookclub friend’s favorite book, I’m always excited to see what my friends love to read.
- Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid – I love TJR and I love Julia Whelan who narrates this. Definitely listening to this one on audio.
- The Mighty Red by Louise Erdrich – I’ve read one other book by the author and loved it. I’m curious to read another and I thought this one sounded interesting.
- The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston – This has been on my TBR for ages now, plus it’s been talked about favorably. I really should get to it soon!
- The Love Haters by Katherine Center – I’ve read and loved several other Katherine Center books and I’m sure I’ll like this one too.
- The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green – I’ve heard so many rave reviews about this one I got curious. I’ve read a couple of the author’s books and liked them, but this one is nonfiction.
- A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman – I’ve been meaning to read this but never got around to it. I recently watched the movie and loved it so it’s motivating me to read this sooner rather than later.
- Never Flinch by Stephen King – I don’t care what people say, Holly is one of my favorite SK characters and I can’t wait to read more of her!
- The Glass Chateau by Stephen P. Kiernan – This one came out two years ago and I had been anticipating it before it even released. I don’t know why I haven’t read it!
Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Would you read any of these books?
I remember liking The Anthropocene Reviewed! More recently I read Everything is Tuberculosis and loved that — I studied TB at university, and it’s kind of one of my “special interests”, and Green did a really good job at explaining it. Highly recommended.
Hope you enjoy all of these — and find time to read them!
Well, now I have to add Everything is Tuberculosis to my TBR too! Thanks for all the great recommendations, I have a whole separate TBR list just from your nonfic recs!
I’m curious about Never Flinch.
Same! I can’t wait to read it!
You have some well-received books on your list.
I know! I need to read them asap!
Atmosphere is also on my TBR list, but maybe not this summer as other things are crowding it out. Looks great, though!
If On a Winter’s Night is intriguing–I will be interested to hear what you think of it.
Good to know about If On a Winter’s Night! I’ll definitely update after I’ve read it! I hope you like Atmosphere when you get to it. I just started reading it last night and I’m really enjoying it!
A Man Called Ove is wonderful. I’ve seen the original film but I’ve yet to watch the Tom Hanks version.
Here’s my list: https://portobellobookblog.com/2025/07/15/top-ten-tuesday-15th-july-2025-books-with-honorifics-in-the-title-toptentuesday-amreading-bookrecommendations-tuesdaybookblog/
I didn’t know there was another original version! I’ll have to check that one out as well.
These look like fun summer reads. I hope you enjoy them!
Thank you!
I hope to read Atmosphere and The Seven Years Slip sometime this season as well, but I didn’t put them on the TBR.
My TTTT: https://laurieisreading.com/2025/07/15/top-ten-tuesday-books-with-honorifics-in-the-title/
I hope you’re able to get to them this season!
Good luck getting these read!
Thank you!
I adored A Man Called Ove! Which adaptation did you see? I loved how faithful the Swedish version is, I’ve only seen the first 10-15 minutes of the Tom Hanks version. I hope you enjoy reading all of these when you get the chance.

I didn’t know there was a Swedish version! I haven’t read the book so I have no idea how faithful the movie stayed to the book. Perhaps I’ll watch both versions again after I finish the book.
A MAN CALLED OVE is one of my favorite novels of all time! I also loved the movie with Tom Hanks. I hope you love it. I have a copy of THE SEVEN YEAR SLIP on my shelf, but I still haven’t read it. One of these days…
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
