I quite fancy being a codebreaker, but I'm not sure my brain works the right way!

Rosie, neither does mine, LOL!
DeleteSo fun!!! Julie Klassen had a few that qualified for this! :) Great list!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, yes, she did ;)
DeleteIt's funny how many titles follow this trend. Just perused my shelf and found "The Exhibitionist." I didn't love the book when I read it, but it fits the theme this week.
ReplyDeleteEthan, it does, and it's a fairly unique one as well!
Deleteoh i love your picks! I loved Courting the Amish Bishop, and The Silent Governess is one of my fave Klassen books!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, eventually I will get to them. I am slowly reducing those unread books on my shelves ;)
DeleteThe Thief of Blackfriar Lane looks good!
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Thanks Aymee!
DeleteThe second cover is so pretty. The Thief of Blackfriars Lane looks good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hena!
DeleteThese are some great choices!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsey!
DeleteNice work! And, all are new to me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa!
DeleteOh, The Thief of Blackfriars Lane! Good one. And I almost included a cowboy title on my list, too, but it was already too long. ;D
ReplyDeleteLark, LOL! I understand!
DeleteOoo, yay, we share Amy's AND I think I did own The Illusionist's Apprentice. :) Thanks so much for visiting my list.
ReplyDeleteRissi, great minds :)
DeleteCodebreaker is a great choice, Cindy. I think this is the first time that I've seen illusionist. Great list.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carla!
DeleteCodebreaker, thief, illusionist...oh my! What creative occupations.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne!
DeleteGreat list. The books all look good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne!
DeleteWe have a few similar ones on our lists, Cindy. Thanks for sharing all these and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl!
DeleteWe read completely different books, so I'm not surprised we found completely different occupations. Mind you, I always had midwife. But there were just too many books I found with jobs in the title.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my post:

Marianne, that's why I had to narrow mine down, otherwise we could have been here all day, LOL!
ReplyDeleteSame here. Hahaha!
DeleteI've always thought it would be interesting to read more about midwives. I think our book group read one, the one the tv series is based on.
ReplyDeleteDeb, I have read many fascinating books about them :)
DeleteI haven't read any of these, but several of them are on my TBR list. Great list!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
Thanks Susan!
DeleteI love that you went with books on your TBR that you own. I really should do better about reading the books I already own!
ReplyDeleteHaze, I still have pretty close to 200 unread on my own shelves, so I have got to narrow all that down, LOL!
DeleteThe Codebreaker’s Daughter sounds intriguing, but I haven’t read any of these, so I’m no help.
ReplyDeleteOlivia, I think so too!
DeleteBeing a governess must have been hard due to being so far away from one’s family in many cases.
ReplyDeleteI had a family emergency last week and so am just catching up on stuff now.
