Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Books with the Word “[Insert Word Here]” in the Title (Choose a word and find ten books with that word in the title.)
My initial thought was to use the word girl but in the last few days I have read a couple of really good books which both had the word cafe in the title, so I am going with that!
The Handsome Man's Deluxe Cafe by Alexander McCall Smith - This is book number 15 in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series
The Cafe by the Bridge by Lily Malone - This is the second book in a trilogy set in in southern Western Australia.
Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe by Heather Webb - I loved this book when I read it a few years ago (my review)
Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Tales from the Cafe by Toshikazu Kawaguchi - This is the second book in the Before the Coffee Gets Cold series
The Custard Tart Cafe by Isabella May - Just thinking about this book makes me want to eat a Portuguese Custard Tart! (my review)
The Enchanted Garden Cafe by Abigail Drake - This is the first book in a series set in Pittsburgh. (my review)
Finding Family at the Cornish Cove by Kim Nash - whoops. Had this recorded in my spreadsheet as Finding Family at the Cornish Cafe. It is, however, set in a cafe so I am keeping it! It is the second book in the lovely Cornish Cove series. (my review)
The Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Laurie Gilmore - This is the first book in the very popular Dream Harbor series.
The Bittersweet Bakery Cafe by Catherine Greer - I just read this last week and I loved it. I will be reviewing it in a couple of weeks.
The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris by Evie Woods - Whoops this is a bakery not cafe but it was such a good read I am going to count it anyway!
I am also going to be sharing this post with Weekend Cooking which I host here!
I have read none of these.. but I have heard of the Blackbird one.. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe blackbird one was very good!
DeleteCAFE. Surprising word choice. I never would have thought of it but it is so good. BTW- Your link this week takes people to a post in 2024. You might want to update it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know. I really appreciate it!
DeleteI read The Pumpkin Spice Cafe recently, and still not certain how I feel about it.

It was such a good book Cheryl!
Deletei love the cover for Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe! My TTT
ReplyDeleteThat's what caught my eye too!
DeleteNice work--two of my favorite series are in your list. No 1 Ladies Detective Agency and Before the Coffee Gets Cold. I've liked a couple of Conish series--maybe I'll try that one, too.
ReplyDeleteI must see where I am up to with the No. 1 Ladies series and read one! Or maybe listen to it. The narrator is so good in those.
DeleteYour post made me hungry, LOL! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you got to eat something delicious
DeleteNow I want to go to a cafe!
