Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten books with questions in the title this week. I knew this would be difficult but I didn’t realize exactly how difficult! I tried to choose books that I’ve either read or want to read. Do I just dislike question marks in titles or was this prompt hard for everyone?

There seem to be lots of children’s books with questions in the title. There’s something about a title with a question in it that leads me to want to pick it up and read it, I think.
Love the Jemisin one! And Doughty’s book has been on my TBR for a while now. 🙂
I would have failed at this meme. I glanced at my bookcase and didn’t see a single book with a question in the title!
It was so hard for me! I had no books I’d read and only one on my TBR that fit, so I changed the topic.

Sorry, wrong link, this is the right one for this week’s post: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2021/07/13/top-ten-tuesday-324/
The title: How Long ’til Black Future Month? by N. K. Jemisin is really interesting Goodreads is down so I can’t check out the synopsis, but I will put it on my TBR list anyways! – Sash @ My Book Jar
Love the old time cover for Whose Body? (and really, what a direct title!) and my favorite title on your list is Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?
I know right off the bat I’d love Seriously Mum, What’s an Alpaca?, I Can Has Cheezburger?, and Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? because I love Alpacas and cats.
It was hard! I think a lot of fiction has short titles without questions. My list is here: https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2021/07/top-ten-tuesday-book-titles-that-are.html
Great collection of titles. I think I need to add N or M? to my TBR.

OVER WHAT HILL? is a great title! Made me laugh. I didn’t do this topic because I literally could only think of one book with a title that is a question and I just didn’t feel like Googling more. I’m lazy that way 🙂
Happy TTT!

I actually enjoyed this topic! I’ve been planning on doing it ever since the “complete sentence” prompt, so I already had a list started. 🙂
My kids were obsessed with I Can Has Cheezeburger–the site, the books, we loved it all. Good post.
I also have N or M and was wondering about Are you there Vodka? The cat and the eyeballs…. What a title and do I actually want to know the answer!
Happy TTT Jen!

Are You There Vodka, It’s Me Chelsea? is one I’ve been wanting to read. It seems like it would be hilarious.
I haven’t heard of any of these, but a few of them made me laugh. Especially the Are you the Vodka one!

I haven’t read any of these titles though I’ve picked up the Patrick McMannus book and have heard it is funny. My TTT Question Titles
Oh I like these. I struggled with this one, almost went rogue, and then just skipped it altogether… 🙂
That alpaca title is adorable!
