Happy Tuesday! Today’s TTT topic is a fun one — occupations in the title of books. There are a lot of directions you can go on this. I considered going a bad guy route — pirate, thief, etc. in the title — but decided to be straightforward with real honest-to-goodness, if a bit old fashioned, occupations. 😉 I included occupations that any one can reasonably achieve — no kings or queens. It was a bit challenging coming up with 10; I went pretty far back in the archives to find them. While the genres vary, most are historical fiction. I hope you find a book to love!

The Baggage Handler book title just made me smile, just for the title! I included one with an Estate Agent in its title. Neither occupations that sound exciting.

Interesting list, I hadn’t heard of most of these.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Great list! I did include thief in my list, LOL! I also have the same Governess book as you on my list.
I was going to do “sketchy” occupations, but didn’t think I’d get 10.
Great list, Beckie. There are 5 occupations that I haven’t seen on any other list this week.
Thx!
Nice! You found some great ones.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
