This week’s Top Ten Tuesday<\/a> post from That Artsy Reader Girl invites us to share any topic we’d like related to “love” in honor of Valentine’s Day. I thought I’d share the 11 books I have rated with four or five stars in Goodreads with some form of the word in the title:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The History of Love<\/em> by Nicole Krauss<\/li>\n
  2. Love Is a Mix Tape<\/em> by Rob Sheffield<\/li>\n
  3. Cry, the Beloved Country<\/em> by Alan Paton<\/li>\n
  4. Love, Rosie<\/em> by Cecelia Ahern<\/li>\n
  5. Beloved<\/em> by Toni Morrison<\/li>\n
  6. Love That Dog<\/em> by Sharon Creech<\/li>\n
  7. My True Love Gave To Me<\/em>, edited by Stephanie Perkins<\/li>\n
  8. Book Love<\/em> by Debbie Tung<\/li>\n
  9. The Woman Who Smashed Codes: A True Story of Love, Spies, and the Unlikely Heroine who Outwitted America’s Enemies<\/em> by Jason Fagone<\/li>\n
  10. Modern Lovers<\/em> by Emma Straub<\/li>\n
  11. The Game of Love and Death<\/em> by Martha Brockenbrough<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s out of 46 books with “love” in the title.<\/p>\n

    Interestingly, it’s a pretty balanced list: three books by guys, two nonfiction titles, one book of poetry, one collection of comics, one collection of short stories, two classics, and three books aimed at kids or young adults.<\/p>\n

    How about you? What “love” books have you loved?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
