Top Ten Tuesday 214

  
 Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new Top Ten list will be posted. Everyone is welcome to join. Link back so everyone can check out other bloggers' lists. It's a fun way to get to know fellow bloggers.

This week is books with colors in their titles. I wasn't sure how I wanted to approach the topic and as I was pulling covers I ended up almost making this an all- Tintin post! But I restrained myself (who knew they had so many colors in their titles?) and included a few others, as well.  

The Blue

The Blue Lotus (Tintin, #5)

 The Black Island (Tintin, #7)

 Red Rackham's Treasure (Tintin, #12)

 The Crab with the Golden Claws (Tintin, #9)

 Land of Black Gold (Tintin, #15)

 Sisters of the Vast Black

 Golden City Vol. 1: Wreck Raiders

 One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

    Oh fun! I love Sisters of the Vast Black, such a good one. I want to read Golden City, too. And who knew Tintin was such a fan of color titles?!

    I confess I thought this one would be WAY easier than it was. But perhaps the struggle came because I decided to limit myself to only books I owned!? :)

    Hi there! Love the Tin Tin covers! I wanted to use Dr Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham, but rather did an art lesson. LOL Here's my I see your true colors

    The Sisters of the Vast Black sounds an intriguing title and I remember Tintin fondly! Thanks for sharing.

    You TOTALLY should have used all TinTin books! :D That's so awesome...I never even realized how many TinTin books used colors in their titles until you pointed it out.

    I put Red Rackham’s treasure on mine as well, but I’d forgot just how many tintin books have colours in the titles.

    Nice list! Yay for Dr Seuss. This topic was a lot of fun! So many titles to choose from too! It was interesting to see what colors were the most commonly used too!

    The Tintin covers are so fun! I totally missed this series as a kid. I might have to play catch-up.

    What a nostalgic list of colourful book titles, Greg. I loved the Tintin books as a kid - Each week I used get a different one from the library. Now you're making me think I need a re-read! 🤓

    You definitely should have made this a Tintin post, I think the covers are amazing! There's a cafe in my town that has giant posters of the covers upstairs, they look really cool.

    I definitely didn't realise so many Tin Tin books had colours in their titles, you learn something new every day. I would have made it an all Tin Tin list if I were you.

    Tintin! I haven't read those in ages, and never did track them all down, only a few. Did you see the movie? I thought it was fun.

    Here's my TTT post for this week!

    I loved Lucy Clarke's other novels, but I still need to read The Blue. And as a Belgian, I find it very nice you used some Tintin books for this :D

    Crap I forgot TinTin too, when I did my list I forgot so many including A Clockwork Orange.

    I love TinTin, it was on Netflix the original series but they’ve taken it off before I had a chance to watch.

    Great list Greg!

    I think the Tintin covers are fun, haven't read any of them though. Strange, I've never read a Dr. Seuss book, maybe it's not strange, there are tons of children's books I haven't read.

    Have a lovely day.

  41. JenAugust 6, 2020 at 7:05 AM

    Fun topic and I have read NONE of these! It's funny that a lot of the books don't have covers that match the color in the title!

    That cover on Sister's of the Vast Black is beautiful! I can't believe I've never read or seen Tintin, it feels like I've missed out on a right of passage.
