Happy Tuesday! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday made me think about the books I want to read. The topic for this week’s posts is “Books I Read In One Sitting (or Would If I Could).” I’m not one to read a book in one sitting. So, I decided to twist the topic to fit me. I am presenting 10 Books With the Word Day in Their Title this week. Seven books are on my TBR; two I’ve read in the past couple of years, and one is current.
Book 1: The Tuesday Club Murders by Agatha Christie
I recently picked up a copy of this book from the thrift store. The best part is that it is over 30 years old and in mint condition. It’s not the book in the picture, which still has a great-looking cover.
Book 2: Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale
I added this book to my TBR in November 2020. I’m unsure what drew me to it, but it has captured my eye.
Book 3: Seven Days of Us by Francesca Hornak
This is a Christmas book set in an English country estate. It is a family story that I am looking forward to reading when the holidays approach.
Book 4: Rainy Day Friends by Jill Shalvis
Another book about family and friendship. Plus, check out the cute dog on the cover!
Book 5: Forever and a Day by Anthony Horowitz
This book is another one from Anthony Horowitz starring James Bond. I am a massive fan of 007 and have read various books featuring him. I recently picked up this one and am eager to read it, as it’s an origin story.
Book 6: The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
I added this one to my TBR in February after learning about the second one in the series, The Man Who Died Twice. I have to read the first book in the series first.
Book 7: Seven Days in June by Tia Williams
There is just something intriguing about this book. I think it has to do with the fact that it appears to happen in a week. A second chance at love—will seven days be enough?
Book 8: A Bad Day for Sunshine by Darynda Jones
This book is one that I just started listening to over the past weekend. I’m in love with Sunshine Vicram’s sass. This is the second series written by Darynda Jones that I have read. The narrator is the same for both series, and she is perfect!
Book 9: Magnolia Wednesdays by Wendy Wax
This book was one I read in 2019. It features Vivian Armstrong Gray, a fortysomething journalist whose life is falling apart. Jobless and pregnant, she agrees to write a column about suburban living in the South.
Book 10: The Day the Falls Stood Still by Cathy Marie Buchanan
This book was one that I read last year. Set in Niagara Falls, Canada, in the 1910s, you follow Bess Heath as her life of comfort and privilege suddenly flips after she learns her father lost his job and her mother has started taking in sewing.
Have you read any of these? What do you think about these ten books with the word day in their title? Did I miss any?

I didn’t know there were so many books with the word Day in their titles. Interesting! I haven’t read any of these tales yet.

Seven Days of Us was good. It wasn’t very holiday-ish.
Fun take on the topic! I haven’t read any of these yet, but I’ve hear great things about Seven Days in June. Also, the cover for Rainy Day Friends is adorable!
Nice list! I’ve been curious about The Thursday Murder Club, myself!
Fun topic! “Day” and the names of the days in the week do seem to be popular in book titles. I read and enjoyed THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB. THE DAY THE FALLS STOOD STILL sounds like a good one. I’ll have to check it out.
Happy TTT!

I like your take on the list. I wonder how many more books have ‘day’ in the title. I’ve heard of a couple of these but have never read them.
I love your twist on the topic for this week, although I’ve never heard of any of these books. I’m absolutely going to be adding some to my TBR, and I loved the sound of A Bad Day for Sunshine!
I just added Book of a Thousand Days to my TBR after spotting it on a list of princess MGs.
I’ve never read a book by Agatha Christie, but often love any kind of adaptation of her novels. Who knows! Maybe someday I should try to read one by her. 🙂
I love your twist on this week’s topic! I haven’t read any of these but a few are on the TBR.
My daughter is currently reading Shannon Hale’s book and enjoying it! I can’t think of any books off the top of my head that I have read with the word “day” in it. Here is my list: https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2021/07/top-ten-tuesday-books-read-in-one.html
Love this twist on the prompt! I would’ve found it so hard to find so many books with ‘day’ in the title–well done!
Seven Days in June seems interesting. “Seven days to fall in love, fifteen years to forget and seven days to get it all back again…” Hmm… I might just check it out someday!
Here’s my Top Ten Tuesday list!
I like the twist! The Thursday Murder Club is one I’m so excited to check out!
Great twist on the prompt! I’ve been looking at reading Seven Days in June. I’d be interested to hear what your final thoughts are.
I will definitely share my thoughts when I get the chance to read it.
Fun list — I like your topic! I’ve only read a couple (Seven Days of Us, The Book of a Thousand Days), but I like the looks of a few others. Seven Days in June has been getting a lot of buzz, but I don’t really know anything about it. I’d love to hear what you think if you end up reading it!
I will definitely share my thoughts when I get the chance to read it.
I love the cover for The Day the Falls Stood Still!
It’s funny how this cover isn’t the one from the version I read. But I think I like this one better. The one I read was a close-up of a waterfall.
Great list! I didn’t even know there were so many books with “Day” in there title. The only one I could have thought of would have been “One Day in December”. =)
I have that on my TBR as well.
Book of a Thousand Days looks good – not read any Shannon Hale but heard good things!
Nice twist. I have the Thursday murder club on my list.
Nice twist. I’m sure I could do a list like that, there are so many books with the word day in the title. Will have to keep that in mind. And I’ve only read one of them, The Thursday Murder Club.
Thanks for visiting my TTT earlier.
I love your twist on this week’s topic! I definitely want to try reading The Tuesday Club Murders. Great list!
Thank you!
What a fun topic. I loved reading your choices.
Thank you!
I have Book of A Thousand Days and the Thursday Murder Club on my TBR too! 😀
Awww what a fun topic! Thanks for sharing 🙂
The Day The Falls Stood Still sounds really great!!
Loved your spin on it! I think the only book I’ve read from your list was the Darynda Jones one.
Nice twist on the topic! I can’t read a book in one sitting either so I switched topics, too. Magnolia Wednesdays sounds interesting. I haven’t read anything by Wax before.
Wow, I never noticed how many books have the word “Day” in their title. I just glanced through my own shelves and found One Day in December and The Remains of the Day.
I like your twist on the topic for this week. Great looking list!
