Are you intrigued by books with occupations in the titles? For today’s list, I resisted the urge to duplicate occupations (i.e. bookseller and librarian!).

You found quite a few occupations. Me? Not so much that is why I tweaked my list this week.
It was a bit more challenging than I first thought it would be! Hopping over to read your post……
Oh my goodness, I like the sound of so many of your books in this list.
Thanks Rosie!
Fab list, Carol, it was much easier this week!
Thanks! It was more challenging than I first thought! I had to go back aways!
I love all the historical fiction here! I do think occupation names are more common in historical fiction than perhaps any other genre.
Thanks! It was fun to find them!
Another fabulous selection!
Thanks Joanne! 🙌
What a great list! I have the first three on my TBR, and hope to read them soon,

Thanks Pam! Hopping over now to read your post…..
I’m having difficulty commenting on your post….but great list of interesting jobs!
I meant to not have any duplicates but ended up with two bakers! Oh well!
It was a challenge to not overuse the librarians or booksellers! Hopping over to read your post….
These look good. The Librarian Spy is a popular one on lists today!
Have a great week!

Yes! I’ve seen Librarian Spy on several! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Hopping over to read your post….
It is interesting to see what other people have put and which books are popular!
That’s ok. Thank you 😊
I also had an astronomer, but I suspect ours are very different kinds of books! XD
It was a fun list to make! Hopping over to read your post….
These are wonderful! We have a bookseller and librarian in common, even though from different books!
Thanks! It was difficult to limit myself to ONE bookseller and librarian! 😂
The Lawyer and the Laundress is on my list today too! My TTT
I loved that story! Hopping over to read your post….
Such great titles, Carol. I almost added The Lawyer and the Laundress to my list. I am so surprised by all the different books and occupations I am seeing today.
So fun to read the varied lists!
It really is, Carol. This was such a fun top ten this week.
I really enjoy historical fiction, so several of these look good! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Thank you! I’m happy to hear we share the love for histfic! Hopping over to read your post…

Happy TTT!

TBR worthy! Hopping over to read your post….
You have some interesting occupations there, Carol. I have The Dentist by Tim Sullivan coming up to read.
A dentist?! That’s different!
I think we both favour a certain type of occupation. 😉
Here is my list:

I can’t get logged in to comment….but great list of titles with occupations!
I know. And I’m sorry. I had to disallow anonymous comments because I received too much nasty spam. Now some people can’t log in. There’s always something … Grrrrr.
One of these days soon I need to try from my laptop…maybe that will work.
Thanks. But even there it doesn’t always work for me. You might have to change browsers. If Firefox doesn’t work, I have to go to Chrome and vice versa.
I have heard great things about The Codebreaker’s Secret. These are great books.
It’s an enjoyable read! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
