TEN Books With a Unit of Time in the Title
Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl is hosting another week of Top Ten Tuesday. I enjoy participating each week for a couple reasons. I'm a compulsive list maker and love a good list. And, I love a connection with other readers as I wander their book blogs. This week's prompt is to find books with a unit of time in the title. Here goes.
Thank goodness I keep my list of books read and TBR list in an Excel spreadsheet! It was an easy matter to search for the unit of time keywords and find titles I've actually read and then as a "bonus" I've included books from my TBR with units of time in the title.

A woman discovers she has AIDS and returns home and finds there's more to life than waiting to die. (read back in 1999)
Fifth Avenue, 5 a.m. by Sam Wasson

61 Hours #14 Reacher by Lee Child
For years I read every Jack Reacher book Child published. And then I finally got tired of the formulaic action. I didn't care for the Tom Cruise movie of Reacher because....well, because he doesn't fit the body type of the Jack Reacher we've read about for years. The newest movie though, MUCH better interpretation of Reacher. (read Nov. 2010)
