Happy Tuesday, y’all! Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl handed this week’s Top Ten Tuesday over to Joanne from Portobello Book Blog. And what did she pick for this week? Joanne wants us to share books with honorifics in the title. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be, until I decided to focus on royal titles. I have a royal family found in book titles to share with you.
I worked to keep one book per author, and if it was part of a series, I ensured it was the first book in the series. Looking for more information about the books listed below? The titles will take you to Goodreads.

I love your royal family idea! I’ve only read Lord Edgware Dies from your list.
Love your twist on this!
I love this take on the topic!
Aww, The Paper Bag Princess. I’ll love that one!
Lord Edgeware dies? Spoilers, Agatha…..
LOL!
A Princess for Christmas looks cute.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
It was a fun read, and very much in the vein of a Hallmark or Netflix Christmas movie.
I like your take on this topic! I haven’t read any of the books on your list.
Very nice, Pam. I love how you chose all royal titles. I almost added Lord Edgware Dies to my list today. I haven’t read any of these, which actually surprised me.
I loved The Paper Bag Princess!
I had to add it once I decided to go with a royal theme. She’s the best princess of all time!
I love your spin on this week’s topic – AND seeing The Paper Bag Princess on your list 🙂 My TTT
Some of these look fun! And after always seeing Agatha’s books on various lists, I finally have a couple in my cart for that next order… so maybe finally I’ll read one (or two!). Thanks so much for visiting my list today!
What a cute way to approach the prompt this week. I completely forgot to look up royal honorifics on my search.
I love your approach to this week’s prompt! Paper Bag Princess is such a great book. I love that you included it!
It was a favorite of my kids when they were little. And in my opinion, she’s the best princess ever!
It’s a great book!
I like the look of so many of these! I have to admit that I struggled this week and wasn’t sure that I would be able to find 10. I had to go back to 2021 as it was!
Have a great week!
Sticking to the royal family is a good idea! Mine is just a mishmash LOL.
Creative title and I love that you focused on royalty!
What a great tweak of the topic!!!! I LOVED Mrs. Queen takes the Train! Such a good post!!!
Mrs. Queen Take the Train is so fun. I wonder if she ever did something like that, or was at least tempted to.
It never even occurred to me to look for titles like King, Queen, Prince or Princess. I think I could do a TTT of each of those by themselves!
Why didn’t I think about searching for titles with Queen and such? Great way to approach this week’s topic!
This was a great twist! As a fantasy reader, this would have been so easy to do!
I like how you narrowed it to royal family titles, well done!
The cover for King Solomon’s mine is so old school I love it!
I love that you did a whole royal family! I love how much care you put into curating your lists!

Ah, fun take on the theme. 😀
I love your take on this topic! It’s such a fun list, and an awesome title for the blog post! Some of these look like fun reads just based on the cover of the book. I love how you even included a children’s picture book on the list!
Great take on the topic, Pam! I think I would’ve struggled even more with this one had I focused on royal titles! 🤭
Great way to narrow down the topic! I struggled with this one, too. I really like the title “None of This Would Have Happened If Prince Were Alive”. It grabs my attention and makes me really curious about the story!
You nailed it this week with the titles! I am not familiar with many of them, but the one about King Solomon’s Mines from 1885? That one has to be really interesting!
King Solomon’s Mines is a good pick. Great list!
Nice spin! I’m inspired to use your idea for a future post!
