Hello and a very warm welcome to damppebbles. It’s Tuesday which means it’s time for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday post. I’ve decided to take part in That Artsy Reader Girl’s Top Ten Tuesday meme to mix things up a little here at damppebbles. Add a little bit of variety to our bookish weeks.

The meme was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish but has lived with Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl since January 2018. It was created to encompass a love of books, of lists and to bring readers together. If you would also like to take part then you’re very welcome: the more, the merrier. Just make sure you link back to Jana’s post every week. If you don’t have a blog then no problem, just add your list to the comments below.

This week’s theme is Books With Occupations in the Title (submitted by Hopewell’s Public Library of Life). I actually started this list several weeks ago when the theme was Books with Honorifics in the Title. I REALLY struggled to find a single book on my shelves with an honorific so I headed in the direction of job titles. Only to discover after writing most of it, that it was a future theme! I do check now to stop the same thing happening again 🫣. Anyhoo, let’s crack on with this week’s list…

---

1. The Examiner by Janice Hallett

---

2. Influencer by Adam Cesare

---

3. Death of a Bookseller by Alice Slater

---

4. The Housekeepers by Alex Hay

---

5. Eight Detectives by Alex Pavesi

---

6. The Botanist by M.W. Craven

---

7. The Therapist by B.A. Paris

---

8. The Embalmer by Alison Belsham

---

9. The Babysitter by Sheryl Browne

---

10. Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare

---

I was starting to struggle a little towards the end there. I could have included a second book by M.W. Craven but it’s part of the same series as The Botanist. At least with the two Adam Cesare books, one is part of a series and the other is a standalone.

Have you read any of these books? What’s the first book that springs to your mind with an occupation in the title? Are you taking part in Top Ten Tuesday this week? Let me know in the comments.

So there we have it! If you fancy joining in next week then head on over to That Artsy Reader Girl’s blog to find out what the next topic is!
