My apologies, but I could not come up with good answers for the original theme this week, Books That Live in My Head Rent-Free. 

Therefore, here are ten books I’ve read that start with the letter B. It’s been years since I read them, but I do remember thinking they were all good reads!

Book cover for Baby Doctor: A Pediatrician's Training by Perri Klass. Image on cover is a closeup of a painting that shows a white woman cuddling her baby. This looks like it was painted in the 1800s.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’ve Read Whose Titles Begin With the Letter A

The original theme for this week was “Bookish Wishes,” but after a few years of sharing general bookish wishes I’m kind of tapped out for creativity in that area.

Instead, I’m going to be joining in the alphabet book trend. I believe that Pam @ Read Bake Create might have been the first person to do this back in 2022, but please let me know if someone else should be credited instead.

Here are ten books I’ve read since 2013 that begin with the letter A.

Book cover or The Atheist Muslim: A Journey from Religion to Reason by Ali. Rizvi. Image on cover is a drawing of pages of a book being torn away and turning into white birds the further they get from the book.
