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.

  1. Love the Alphabet Challenge! I haven’t read any of these yet, but Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel sounds like an intriguing read.

  2. I just read (and loved!) Beyond Words.

  3. Ha, like the other commenters before me, I have to comment on Beyond Words — it looks really good!

  4. I haven’t read any of these! But love this topic. Makes me want to start the alphabet next time I need a new topic for what is being done. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my post!

  5. I’ve heard of a folk song about Tom Dooley, but never a book!

  6. I love the Lemony Snicket books.sky husband introduced them to me.

  7. I haven’t read any of these although I have (of course) heard of the Lemony Snicket books. Bad Faith and Black Man in a White Coat both sound very intriguing though!

  8. Nice work. I like these alpahbet posts–either by author or title. I find new-to-me books.

  9. I haven’t read any of these, but they do look like good ones.

  10. Beartown by Fredrick Backman came to mind..Have you read it?

  11. I am very curious about Beyond Words. I’ve been seeing all these reels in social media with cats and dogs starting to communicate using word buttons and I love seeing how animals have always been so intelligent and we just needed to find ways to communicate with them. I also checked out the description for The Bear and omg, it sounds like a harrowing read!

  12. Using the alphabet to find our books is fun because ideally it makes us find some books that maybe we don’t feature as often. 🙂 Glad you remember liking these. Those are the best kind of reader memories. 🙂 Thanks for visiting my list today.

  13. These are all unfamiliar me, thanks for sharing your #TTT

  14. The struggle is real, today! But, in a way you still went with the prompt, just narrowed it down to “B” books 😉 Have a good week.

  15. These are all new to me apart from Lemony Snickett, so plenty to look into!

  16. I only know of Lemony Snickett! I think I’ve only read the first book. Great list!

  17. I haven’t read these but Beyond Worlds looks amazing!

  18. Nice list, Beyond Words looks so sweet.

  19. ASOUE is a very odd but also fun series. I’ve read a handful of the books. I still need to finish the series!

    Happy TTT!

  20. Sorry you weren’t able to think of books for this week’s topic, but glad you came up with a different one, I presume you have done books beginning with A before. I would like to have a go at a letter topic one like this. 😊

  21. I love seeing different alphabet book posts! These look like good books 🙂

  22. What a wonderful list, Lydia. Most of these are new to me, though I might have Lemony Snicket’s book here. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog.
