Top Ten Tuesday: (Five) Favourite Words

Created by and with thanks to That Artsy Reader! This week’s theme is about our favourite words, but I thought I’d give it a bookish twist: here’s a few words that must be among my favourites, because they feature most often in titles in my personal library!

.

1. Love: 18 hits
I’m not even a bit surprised this is the most-used word in titles I read. I am a romantic at heart, after all.

2. Royal: 11 hits
I’m also not super surprised at this one. That’s the Genovian effect, y’all.

3. Life: 9 hits
What struck me about this one is how often it was used in subtitles. And not even biographies!

4. Little: 7 hits
I didn’t realise, until I made this list, that I actually do really like the word ‘little’. That feels a very positive 180 from it being the word used to bully me as a kid, so that’s growth!

5. Wicked: 7 hits
What can I say? ’tis the season–but ’tis eternally the season for me.
