Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week's topic is: Top Ten Books with Occupations in the Title (submitted by Hopewell's Public Library of Life)

*in no particular order
**not all occupations are paying ones, lol

10. THE WICKED KING by Holly Black--being king is tough
9. ABBY COOPER: Psychic Eye by Victoria Laurie--when you started as a psychic but end up being a detective!
8. THE VAMPIRE STALKER by Allison van Diepen--why slay them when you can stalk them?

7. THE EXECUTIONERS THREE by Susan Dennard--executioner sounds like a scary job!
6. THE STORYSPINNER by Becky Wallace--I like the sounds of this title! Although zero memory on if this was a good "job choice" or not! Lol.
5. THE WISH GRANTER by C.J. Redwine--from the TBR pile and with fairy tales in mind, this might not be a great job to have...let alone a service you want to receive in fairy tales!

4. SERVANTS OF THE STORM by Delilah S. Dawson--from my spotty recollection, this is a scary job!
3. THE CHEERLEADERS by Kara Thomas--another one I can't quite remember, but cheerleading is an occupation!
2. WARRIOR PRINCESS ASSASSIN by Brigid Kemmerer--three occupations, one title!

1. BATMAN: RESURRECTION by John Jackson Miller--the best job of them all! Lol.
