"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.
Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.
This week's topic is a Books With Honorifics in the Title
("… an honorific is a form of address conveying esteem, courtesy or respect. These can be titles prefixing a person’s name, e.g.: Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms., Mx., Sir, Dame, Dr., Cllr, Lady, or Lord, or other titles or positions that can appear as a form of address without the person’s name, as in Mr. President, General, Captain, Father, Doctor, or Earl.")
This was an easy one. The word Lady appears dozens of times in titles. So, I could choose books that I really liked for this one.
Austen, Jane "Lady Susan" - 1795
Bernières, Louis de "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" - 1994
Carnarvon, Countess Fiona of "Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey: The Lost Legacy of Highclere Castle" - 2011
Chevalier, Tracy "The Lady and the Unicorn" - 2003
García Márquez, Gabriel "The General in His Labyrinth" (E: El general en su laberinto) - 1989
Guterson, David "Our Lady of the Forest" - 2003García Márquez, Gabriel "The General in His Labyrinth" (E: El general en su laberinto) - 1989
Ilibagiza, Immaculée with Erwin, Steve "Our Lady of Kibeho: Mary Speaks to the World From the Heart of Africa" - 2008
Pasternak, Boris "Doctor Zhivago" (RUS: Доктор Живаго) - 1957
Schmitt, Éric-Emmanuel "Oscar and the Lady in Pink" (F: Oscar et la dame rose) - 2002
Trollope, Anthony "Doctor Thorne" - 1858 from "Barchester Chronicles"
Schmitt, Éric-Emmanuel "Oscar and the Lady in Pink" (F: Oscar et la dame rose) - 2002
Trollope, Anthony "Doctor Thorne" - 1858 from "Barchester Chronicles"
They are all good reads, my favourites are probably "Doctor Zhivago" and "Barchester Chronicles", all of them.
📚 Happy Reading!📚
I don’t believe I’ve read any of these books. It’s cool when that happens. :)
