Top Ten Tuesday: Books With Occupations In The Title

   

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.  This week's topic is Books With Occupations In The Title (Submitted by Hopewell’s Public Library of Life).  I've picked a variety of different occupations.  All of the books I enjoyed and would recommend, if you haven't already read them for yourselves.  Here we go in alphabetical order, by title:

The Alienist (Dr. Laszlo Kreizler #1) by Caleb Carr

All the President's Men by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward

The Beekeeper's Apprentice (Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes #1) by Laurie R. King

Book and Dagger: How Scholars and Librarians Became Unlikely Spies During World War II by Elyse Graham

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (Dirk Gently #1) by Douglas Adams

Doctor Sleep (The Shining #2) by Stephen King

The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang

The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary by Simon Winchester

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (George Smiley #5) by John Le Carre

The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant (Fred, the Vampire Accountant #1) by Drew Hayes

  10. I am sure I would have sound more (feel like I should have had some 'doctor' book titles), but I stopped once I had enough. :) Thanks so much for visiting my list this week!
