It’s time for another Top Ten list from That Artsy Reader Girl. The topic today is book titles that are complete sentences, which turned out to be a little easier than I thought it would be. Not that I found a ton of them, but I did find more than 10 and had to narrow it down. So I went with only books that I’ve read, and I’ve put them in order of lower ratings to higher ratings (as rated by me).
10. Don’t Keep Silent by Elizabeth Goddard
The third in a series, all 3 of which have titles that are complete sentences. See my review here.
9. All My Friends Are Dead by Avery Monsen & Jory John
My husband loves this book. I thought it was okay. But the important thing is that not only is the title a complete sentence, it’s even written in sentence format on the book cover, with a period at the end and everything!
8. His Name Was Zach by Peter Martuneac
The first in a trilogy, all 3 of which have titles that are complete sentences. See my review here.
7. Paris Never Leaves You by Ellen Feldman
See my review here.
6. Hope is a Dangerous Place by Jim Baton
See my review here.
5. Dad Is Fat by Jim Gaffigan
See my review here.
4. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard
Somehow this book always makes my top ten lists… See my review here.
3. Mr. Monk Goes to the Firehouse by Lee Goldberg
First in a series of novels about the TV detective, many of the other books in the series have complete-sentence titles too. See my review here.
2. Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library by Chris Grabenstein
In a way, one could possibly read this in a different way than would be needed for it to be seen as a complete sentence. I choose to read it as an imperative with the implied “you” as the subject. See my review here. (Another similar title is Escape from the Island of Aquarius.)
1. I Want to Punch You in the Face But I Love Jesus by Sherri Lynn
This book has been in a few of my TTT posts in the past too, but come on, it fits so well! See my review here.
Looking for books for this list was more fun than I expected it to be. What’s on your list?
A Journey of Words 
Jim Gaffigan is a great comedian. I’ll have to read Dad is Fat sometime.

It definitely has some funny moments. I think some of it’s not quite my humor, though, but my husband just loves it. It really was a fun prompt to do today!

It’s so funny! The author’s refusal to bend on the title forced her to seek alternate methods of publishing, unfortunately. I love it though.

The whole book (which is very short) is full of morbid humor like that. It definitely has some laugh-out-loud moments.

I’ve read 2 of them so far (both as audiobooks), and the jury is still out on how far I’ll continue with the series. I’m a big fan of the show, but can’t quite reconcile the Monk in the books with the Monk in the show, and that bothers me.
