Happy Tuesday, y’all! This week, Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl has handed the reins for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday to Cathy from What Cathy Read Next. So, what does Cathy want from us this week? Book titles that would make great newspaper headlines! What a fun prompt! So, let’s look at some book titles that would make great headlines!
While I have read all of these books, and found them enjoyable. They aren’t all necessarily favorite reads. But there’s something about their titles that feel like news headlines.

Wow!! You made some great choices and got me curious! Have a great week!
None Of This Would Have Happened cracked me up!
The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters sounds like an adventure
I would definitely be curious about these headlines! You did a great job with this week’s prompt.
I WOKE UP DEAD AT THE MALL. I certainly would read this article based on a headline like this.
A TRAITOR IN WHITEHALL is on my list today. It would definitely make a great headline. I *almost* put EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE on my list as well, but I traded it out for something else. It’s a great title. I definitely want to read the book based on the title alone!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
