7 OF THE BOOK TITLES IN UNITS OF TIME
When it comes to book cover art, I’m quite the snob. However I’m also all about a good title. This is why we’re looking at a very specific kind of title naming this week. That would be book titles in units of time. Seems like this could be fun, right?
LIST | 10 BAD (& GOOD) MOVIES I HAVE SEEN BUT NEVER DID REVIEW
7 OF THE BOOK TITLES IN UNITS OF TIME #TOPTENTUESDAY #BOOKNERD #BOOKBLOGGERS #READERS #READING Share on XLike usual, I’m trying to only feature books I own because honestly, it’s fun to look through what I own and I like to think it will kick my reader butt into wanting to actually read the books on my shelf. Realistically I don’t think it does, but hey, this is the rule we follow. It’s all short and sweet to open this week – let’s jump on in.
BOOK TITLES IN UNITS OF TIME
1: A WEEK OF MONDAYS, JESSICA BRODY
Have this one to sell or donate but technically I still own it. Follows a kind of Ground Hog day (same day keeps on repeat) premise only in a YA and presumably pink (cover art) world. Goodreads
2: THE BOOK OF HOURS, DAVIS BUNN
This is one I read SO many years ago. I don’t remember specifics about the story but do recall it’s a good one with a castle and mystery surrounding the entire plot. I often wonder if I’d still like the books I read years ago. But then usually I’m too “scared” to go back and find out. Goodreads
3: AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, SALLY JOHN
I read this one years ago and it’s actually one of the first books I reviewed here just as an “on my own.” It was before I knew book reviewing was a whole thing (with publishers and the like) and so it’s always interesting to go back and look at the reviews. Goodreads
4: EIGHT PERFECT HOURS, LIA LOUIS
We love a seasonal read, right? Don’t know much about this one but do know Lia shot to author fame with her novel Dear Emmie Blue. Goodreads
5: SECOND CHANCE SUMMER, MORGAN MATSON
Using this one because finding the right titles on my bookshelf to fit this week is tougher than I anticipated. Oh, and no, still haven’t read this one! Goodreads
6: SECONDS TO LIVE, SUSAN SLEEMAN
Read this one over a year ago now. Don’t remember the particulars but I think I did enjoy it well enough. It’s a thriller kind of novel following a cyber criminal and the people trying to stop these attacks. Susan’s other titles in this series also fit which are Minutes to Die and Hours to Kill. Goodreads
7: SECOND CHANCES, DEBRA WHITE SMITH
Don’t think I ever read this one but it’s been on my shelf for a long time and I think my mother did read it. Goodreads
It’s to you now, reader friends! Have you read any of these? Would you? Do any look familiar? Which ones made your lists this week? Let’s hear all the thoughts and comments! Please…
As always, thank you for making time to be here. My apologies I don’t visit your spaces prompter and reply to your comments here, too! I see all of your comments and really appreciate them and will continue to make good efforts to promptly reply.
Thank you for visiting! Please do come back soon.
Linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl June 7: Books With a Unit of Time In the Title (seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, eternity, etc.) (Submitted by RS @ The Idealistic Daydream)
I like this topic, it was fun scrolling through titles and deciding which ones to use :)
For sure. Wish I could find more to make fit (because I always break the rule a little bit) but this is what I came up with. :) Thanks for visiting.
I haven’t read or even heard of any of your titles, but that’s the fun of something like this, right? So many genres, so many titles. Thank goodness I keep an Excel spreadsheet for me lists, the search was easier. Here’s my list: https://www.bookshelfjourneys.com/post/ttt-unit-of-time-in-title
Good idea! I’m not as organized as making a spreadsheet, but a few weeks ago, I did write drafts of a bunch of upcoming TTT topics so that always helps. :) And yes! That is the fun of all the differing lists. Thanks so much for visiting, Terrie.
I found creating this list hard. I guess I forgot about Midnight and Day as periods of time. Anyway, here is my list.
I only wish I could have found a few more that fit. I may have had I looked harder, but hey, I made it work. :) Thanks for visiting, Anne.
I think this week’s topic is so much fun! I haven’t read any of your titles though.
Happy TTT!
Elza Reads
Definitely! A really unique topic and I’m always all for that. :) Thanks for visiting!!
I haven’t read any of these books.
Here is my TTT

Thanks for visiting!
Great list. I had a bit of a hard time finding titles this week, but you did a fantastic job. The Week of Mondays sounds like a fun read.
Have a great week 🌈
I always thought ‘Mondays’ could be fun too! I just never read it. But it sure fits perfectly for our topic. :) Thanks for visiting, Rae.
I found this week hard and some of my books are clutching at straws! I also only put books that I have read so that also makes it harder!
Hope you have a great week!

Mine clutch too, Emily! I try always to feature just hte books I own (though haven’t read). Sometimes that’s easier, and sometimes it’s more of a challenge. But nonetheless I found some (thought not as many as I’d like) and made them work. :D Thanks for visiting.
This topic was harder than I thought too ! I have Second Chance Summer and still haven’t read it yet… hopefully I’ll read it this summer. Your list was really good!
I still haven’t read Morgan’s ‘Summer’ book. It sounds a little bittersweet so I think that’s mostly what is holding me back. :) Thanks so much for visiting! Really appreciate this.
The Book of Hours sure sounds good!
It’s one I read YEARS ago, but still have fond memories of. Makes me wonder… should I risk a re-read!? ;) Thanks for visiting, Lydia.
Fun list! Eight Perfect Hours is on my TBR.
Same here! Hope we both enjoy it, Angela. :)
ooo The Book of Hours sounds interesting….
We love an interesting plot…! :) Thanks so much for visiting, Carrie.
Great list. I had a hard time finding titles so I did something a little different.
That always works, too. :) Thanks for stopping by, Marianna.
I also did ones I own and I have Seconds to Live on my list today! I do want to read it soon…so hopefully, it will stay on my radar!
Hope you enjoy “Seconds to Live” when you have the chance to read it, Cindy. :) Thanks for making time to visit!!
Recently read When The Day Comes by Gabrielle Meyer, a phenomenal time travel story. And I just finished Midnight’s Budding Morrow by Carolyn Miller, a gothic Regency. Another Gothic: Twilight at Moorington Cross by Abigail Wilson, always love her stories.
I see Gabrielle’s book is getting LOTS of good ratings on GR. Glad to know it’s a good read. Thanks for sharing your time unit favs, Paula. :)
