Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This meme was created because they are particularly fond of lists at The Broke and the Bookish. They love to share their lists with other bookish folks and LOVE to see your top ten lists!
Each week they post a new Top Ten list complete with one of their bloggers answers. Everyone is welcome to join. All they ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND sign Mister Linky at the bottom to share with all those who are participating. If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Don't worry if you can't come up with ten every time...just post what you can!

Most Hilarious Book Titles I Have Come Across (in no particular order)
**Just a note to say that I am drawn to books with unique or unusual titles, and as such, I have many on my reading list with noteworthy titles. This particular Top Ten Tuesday topic, for obvious reasons, was not only fun, but nearly limitless in scope for me. These are all legitimate books, I promise! Hope you enjoy my list!
Titles I have read are in red.
Titles I own but have not read are in blue.
Titles requested from the library (I can't believe the library had them) are in green.
Titles I want but (as of yet) have not found are in orange.
Titles I'm still laughing about because they're insanely awesome are in purple.
