Top Ten Books with the word secret in the title

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

If you are new to my blog, I just wanted to share with you that I co-host a monthly bookish link party called A Good Book and A Cup of Tea (no, you don’t have to drink tea to participate) with Erin (Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs) and Cat (Cat’s Wire). You can find a link to it at the top of the page. The link party is for all book-related posts from reviews and recommendations to …well, anything related to books at all. Including Top Ten Tuesday, if you want to link your top ten there too!

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is: Top Ten Tuesday July 7

 Book Titles That Include the Word “[insert word of your choice here]” (Pick a word and share ten book titles that include that word!) I chose the word “secret.”

This is a list of books I have read, want to read, would very likely, or possibly, read.

I should note that I could make this entire list out of just Nancy Drew titles alone, since a ton of the books in that series have secret in the title, but I decided to give some variety to the list and instead have three Agatha Christie titles. Ha!

|| The Secret Garden by Frances Burnett Hodgson (have read) ||

|| The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene (a Nancy Drew Mystery. Have read) ||

|| The Secret Adversary (Tommy and Tuppence Mysteries, #1) by Agatha Christie (haven’t read but sure I will at some point) ||

|| The Secret, Book & Scone Society (Secret, Book, & Scone Society, #1) by Ellery Adams (haven’t read but will probably soon) ||

|| The Secret of Chimneys (Superintendent Battle, #1) by Agatha Christie (have read and enjoyed) ||

|| The Codebreaker’s Secret by Sara Ackerman (haven’t read but it looks good) ||

|| Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells (haven’t read but probably will eventually) ||

|| The Secret Life of Walter Mitty James Thurber (haven’t read but it interests me because I’ve seen one of the movie adaptations) ||

|| The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad (never read it, think I’ve heard of it. Probably will read some day.) ||

|| The Secrets of Hartwood Hall by Katie Lumsden (I don’t know anything about it but it popped up when I was searching for books with the word secret in the title and it looks good.) ||

Have you read any of these? Let me know in the comments, especially for the ones I have not read yet.

  1. I just shared a Secrets titled book today!

    My read on a theme book club them this month is secrets. I am finding a lot of books that meet the theme and some that have the word in the title. It’s going to be tricky to narrow it down to just one!

  2. Might rack down the Conrad and the Christie Secret adversary – I’m just about to start the last Tommy & Tuppence one that she wrote. I like those as for some reason I only liked the Poirot ones growing up so read most of those. I did read some Marple. I only discovered T&T in my 30s, would you beleive! I think Christopher Lee read them on CD. And I was listening to whatever he narrated when I drove the kids around…Anyway, I’ve not read Secret Adversary so might get that next…#TalkaboutitTuesday

  3. This is a great word~ secret! I was having trouble commenting on your posts before so I hope this works. I think The Secrets of Hart wood Hall may have explicit content, but I haven’t read it myself. Just fyi! I looooooved the 3 books of Gladwynne and friends, btw. No pressure on the 4th. 😂😉
