This weeks TTT is all about books I’d give different titles to and… it is gonna be weird. I went right passed taking this seriously and dove head first into sarcasm and strangeness. It’s all very tongue and cheek and I haven’t slept well in days so I’m blaming anything and everything on that.
In other news, I’m one of the lucky thousands who’s getting their power turned off (again) in California. Never mind the death, waste, chaos, and general backlash of the last one, let’s do it again! /sarcasm

That was fun, but I feel like I should apologize? Was it just fun for me? Maybe. Anyway, I’m going to soak up as much internet and electricity as I can before the power gets turned off.
*Bonus included because Harry Potter Titles are just too much fun to come up with. Also this could be the title for literally every book.

I loved The Martian, but your alternate titles for it were spot on. LOL.
My TTT.

I loved The Martian, too (as well as most books on the list). I’m just one of those weirdos who likes making fun of things she really enjoyed. Gently.

I kind of love that you gave multiple options. The sarcasm cracked me up!

Glad you enjoyed! I can never tell if I’m too much or not enough, you know? Plus I couldn’t settle with just one, the slippery slopes of sarcasm just keep pulling me down.

I like that you had three alternates, that’s quite an accomplishment. I had a hard enough time coming up with one. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/

I could have done more, honestly, save for the deadline.

That is quite an impressive array of “things to validate my assumption that I didn’t want to read most of these anyway,” in a much faster and more fun way than scoping out Goodreads reviews. (except for HP, where I lovingly concede that you are not wrong, and Mansfield Park, because I love that one mainly for the reasons people dislike it)

I actually really love six out of ten of these books, especially Goblet of Fire, Tempests and Slaughter, and Red, White and Royal Blue, so by no means should you disregard those titles. And Saga is really good, it just tears your heart out and jettisons it into the vacuum of space. As for Mansfield Park, I guess I like my clergy characters more along the lines of Henry Tilney then Edmund Bertrum.
