Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Books I’d Give Different Titles To (and tell us what title you’d pick!). I'm doing something a bit different and sharing Titles That Could Have Been. Here we go:
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald - The High-Bouncing Lover
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck - Something That Happened
1984 by George Orwell - The Last Man in Europe
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell - Mules in Horses' Harness
Dracula by Bram Stoker - The Dead Un-Dead
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Alice's Adventures Under Ground
Alternate Titles In Other Countries:
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - Cross Stitch
The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin - The Collected Works of A.J. Fikry
The Wilding Sisters by Eve Chase - The Vanishing of Audrey Wilde
Mr. Flood's Last Resort by Jess Kidd - The Hoarder
What are some of your favorite alternative titles? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
I like these! I had a hard time w/this weeks topic.
ReplyDeleteThanks! This week's was tricky. :)
DeleteYou and I are working off the same notes this week. Funny that we didn't check with each other. My TTT
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Great minds clearly think alike! :)
DeleteGreat list! I have the Cross Stitch edition of Outlander, but I think I prefer Outlander.
ReplyDeleteIt just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
DeleteI have the Cross Stitch edition of Outlander from when I was a teen, I think I prefer the old title, I feel it fits more with the rest of the titles.

Personally I prefer Outlander as the title, but Cross Stitch does fit more with the rest in comparison to them.
DeleteThe Hoarder is a great title. Short, sweet, and to the point.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
True!
DeleteThanks for sharing, Lydia.
some interesting choices

Thanks for coming over, Sherry.
DeleteInteresting, are these all real alternate titles? If so, some of them are pretty funny!
ReplyDeleteThat's right - they're either almost could have beens or alternates in other countries. :)
DeleteThis is a great list! I had such a hard time with this week's theme I did something else instead!
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday!
Happy reading! :)
It was tricky!
DeleteThanks for coming over, Kait.
Very cool way to do this week's post!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThe High Bouncing Lover. Oh, dear. That's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
It sure is a special one!
DeleteThanks for sharing, Deanna.
Mules in Horses' Harness made me laugh so hard!
ReplyDeleteThis Tuesday seems like you had one difficult topic. I have no idea what I'd post if I was participating.
It just doesn't quite have the ring to it.
DeleteIt was so hard to think of them.
Looks like The Great Gatsby isn't a very popular title. Some of your retitles are pretty funny. :-)
ReplyDeleteI know right!
DeleteI drew a blank on this topic at first, your titles make a lot more sense than mine. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteSo did I. It took me a while to come up with something.
DeleteYou did a good job this week. I didn't even know where to begin, so I didn't. The High-Bouncing Lover still has me giggling.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a real trick this time around.
DeleteThe Dead Un-Dead had me laughing my butt off!
ReplyDeleteI get it!
DeleteOoh fun way to do this topic. Something That Happened is intriguing, but I like that it's Of Mice and Men.
