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!

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.
