Top Ten Tuesday is a bookish meme originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and currently hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. The topic for this week is books with occupations in the title (e.g. a book named “Doctor on Call” or “A Teacher’s Day At Work”).
This was surprisingly hard to find! I found lots of job locations but not a lot of job titles (e.g. “library” but not “librarian”). I’ve decided to do half TBR books and half read books to make it a bit easier, but you’ll probably see that I didn’t have a ton to work with.
(Also, I noticed that I accidentally put my July wrap up featured image on my August wrap up that I posted yesterday…. I have since fixed, hopefully people will not think it’s out of date anymore. Cri.)
