Top Ten Tuesday: Have you heard what they are saying about Margaret?

 Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the theme is Book Titles That Describe Me/My Life (Example titles: Well Traveled could describe you if you like to travel, Hotshot Doc could describe you if you’re an awesome doctor, Falling into Place could describe a life where things are starting to work out, An Infinite Love Story could describe your relationship, It Could Have Been Her could describe a thing you’re happy you avoided or a path you could have taken but didn’t. You can explain your choices or not, and they can be as specific or as abstract as you’d like.) (Submitted by Susan @ blogginboutbooks.com)

I am taking a simpler approach to this topic by sharing authors/books/characters with my name! Let's start with authors I have read whose name is either Margaret or similar/derivative to Margaret

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

The Red Queen by Margaret Drabble

Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles by Margaret George

My Lady of Cleves by Margaret Campbell Barnes

Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

And then move onto others

Sea Hearts by Margo Lanagan

Summer in Bellbird Bay by Maggie Christensen

Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

Are you there God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell

I couldn't resist including the last two. The reason for the first is likely obvious, but the second not so much. The main female character in North and South is called Margaret. And my post title is a paraphrase of a line that comes from absolutely fantastic mini-series adaptation of the book!
