Thanks for sharing your #TTT
They sure have been! You’re welcome.
I’ve been wanting to read one of the N. K. Jemisin books!
They’re really good from what I’ve heard!
You guys are awesome, I blanked so hard when this topic came up! I don’t see many people posting Darynda Jones but she is great!
Thank you. 🙂 It was a struggle for me to put this post together.
I loved The Thirteenth Tale! Great choices😁
Someday I will read it. 🙂
Not an easy topic! I used Twelfth Night too. And I enjoyed The Thirteenth Tale.
No, definitely not!
“Thursday next” is a nice change-up!
Thanks. 🙂
Nice picks! Everything from Shakespeare to urban fantasy!
Thanks. I had to jump around like that to find enough titles. ha!
I always forget certain stories – like Seventh Son, are books because I know them as a film! Twelfth Night is a great one for this topic. 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting my list today!
You’re quite welcome!
Fifth Season is quite popular today and I’ve seen Thirteenth Tale a time or two (plus I also had on my list today)! I had Twelfth Knight on my list, which is a YA retelling of Twelfth Night hehe 🤭 Great picks, Lydia!
Yes, they were both mentioned a lot. Twelfth Knight sounds cute. 🙂
Nice list. I haven’t read any of these.
Honestly, I’ve only read a few myself. This was a hard topic this week.
I’ve read one Jasper Fforde book and I want to read more ! & I’m also intrigued by The Seventh Son! 🙂 Great list!
Here’s my TTT for the week.

Thank you. 🙂
Fun! As predicted, I have one in common: https://wordsandpeace.com/2026/03/10/top-ten-book-titles-featuring-ordinal-numbers/
Heh, cool!
I really need to give that Jasper Fforde series a try.
May you enjoy it. 🙂
I had a hard time with this list, but you did great! I think I should have looked longer and maybe I would have come up with more books. Have a great week!
Thank you. I appreciate that. It was tricky for sure.
Great job! The Fifth Season is such a good but intense book!
That’s good to know! And thanks.
You nailed the prompt this week! 🙌
Aww, thanks. 🙂
Calvin and Hobbes is one of our favorites, Lydia. Can’t believe I didn’t think of Twelfth Night.
Heh, thanks.
The Charley Davidson series has been a popular choice this week. It helps that the entire series contains ordinal numbers. LOL!
Here’s my TTT for the week: https://readbakecreate.com/first-or-last-book-titles/
Oh, absolutely!
These look good. I struggled with this week 😂
Have a great week!
Thank you. I think a lot of us struggled!
The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book – I am so happy this is on your list! It is a great mood adjuster.
Thank you for sharing
You’re welcome. Calvin and Hobbes was the best.
Oh, great choices! I love Calvin & Hobbes, and Twelfth Night is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. I forgot about the Thursday Next book; that should have been listed with the books on my TBR, and so should The Thirteenth Tale.
Thank you very much. Happy reading.
I love that you included Calvin and Hobbes!!!
Heh, thanks. 🙂
Nice list! This was definitely a tricky topic this week.
Thank you and agreed!
Not surprised to see The Fifth Season get a lot of love this week. It was one of the first books I thought about for this topic. It was a tough topic, but you did really well with your list.
Thank you very much! Yeah, that was a popular pick.
I love how you included the Calvin and Hobbes book! Definitely brings a little variety to your list.
Thank you. 🙂
I really liked the first few in the Thursday Next series but I fell off reading them. I should get back into it.
Thanks for sharing!
All fresh new ones to me except of course the Jeannine Frost one. Those books have been super useful for this challenge.
Absolutely!
I considered using The Fifth Season on my list, but didn’t since I haven’t read it yet and I was able to find a full ten books with ordinal numbers that I’ve already read.
Calvin and Hobbes! Yay! (I so need to reread those books. I love them so.)
Weren’t they amazing?
I love Calvin and Hobbes! I don’t know if I’ve read that particular book, but I’ve read several of them. They’re all fun 😉
Happy TTT!

They’re such a gem. 🙂
Ahh, I forgot about First Among Sequels! I should really reread that series.
Have fun!
Calvin and Hobbes almost made it in my list as well 🙂 Love those two
Yay! Such a classic.
A great selection Lydia. It was harder than I thought when I suggested this topic!
Thank you! And, yeah, for sure.
I thought of Twelfth Night but I never read it. I did not think about the Thirteenth Tale which I did read. But I still found ten different books .
Thanks for visiting my post:

Oooohh, Twelfth Night and The Thirteenth Tale! Both great books and I didn’t even think of them!
Thank you. 🙂
