For today’s Top Ten Tuesday, I’m sharing a few favorite books with “secret” in the titles. What is your favorite book with “secret” in the title?
Books with Secret in the Titles
I’m linking up today with That Artsy Reader Girl for Top Ten Tuesday. In June, I posted about popular books I haven’t read yet (here), so I’m going rogue and listing my favorite books with “secret” in the titles. If I missed one of your favorites, know that I have many on my “read” shelf, and these are the first few that drew my attention.

The Secret Life of Bees is wonderful, it still pops in to my head years after reading it.
It’s tempting me to reread it!
It really is.
It’s not a favourite, but The Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown would have been a good one for this week!
I don’t know that one!
I think that there is something intriguing about the word secret which pulls me into wanting to know more about a book with that word in its title.
There must be because I have a lot of them on my “read” shelf! 😂
Nice pivot for this week’s topic, Carol!
Thanks! 🌷
My read on a theme book club theme this month was secrets and I read so many books that would have fit the theme! Three of them even had the word secret in the title! One of them was The Secret Society of Librarians!
I don’t think I realized how frequently that word shows up until I filtered my GR shelf!
I like books about secrets. 🙂
I guess I do as well since I have so many!
Good topic!
Thanks! 🌷
Wow, you are right about how it’s a popular word! I counted 16 titles that included “secret” although some of them were in the subtitle. I can only narrow it down to 4: The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry, The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd, The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty, and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See.
Good ones! I’ve read Flora Lea and I should have remembered to include it! I think I might edit my list!
I love how you took the prompt!
While I have not read any of these, those historical fictions look fantastic!
Have a great week 🙂

Thanks for stopping by Ashley!
Great list! The only one I’ve read is The Secret Life of Bees, but I do want to read the Flora Lea book and Sara Ackerman too!
Thanks! 🌷
I still have The Secret of the Codebreakers on my TBR. Fingers crossed I get to read it this year.
Here’s my TTT for the week: https://readbakecreate.com/the-ten-holiday-reads-on-my-tbr-the-longest/
All Ackerman’s Pearl Harbor books are great!
Oooh, nice topic! I’m a sucker for a book about secrets. I’m actually surprised I’ve only read four from this list.
Happy TTT!

Thanks Susan! 🌷
My favorite book with Secret in the title is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets <3 Great choice for a rogue topic!
Great suggestion! 🙌
I don’t think it’s any surprise that I’ve read and enjoyed 6 of these and have 2 on my TBR shelf. Great list, Carol.
