Top 5 books with a pronoun in the title
Hello friends!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 books with a pronoun in the title!!
I think two years ago (coming out of the pandemic) every month I was all “how are we already in MARCH*?” *insert new month title here. Whereas this year my questions are more along the lines of “how is it ONLY MARCH??” 2025 definitely feels like it’s been about 8 months long already, and yet here we are. On the fourth day of March like it’s a new season or something. (lol to everyone who lives in a country where you don’t need to look up which day of the month a season starts because it’s always the 1st.)
I can absolutely believe that we’re now in Autumn (southern hemisphere reminder). The leaves have started turning colour and shedding. Although I do think it’s also going to be a late summer too. We still had 30+C° days over the weekend. I got a light sunburn from driving my car down the highway and back on Sunday. Plus the sun is still out until 8pm. I am not looking forward to daylight savings ending, that’s for sure!
Anyway, that’s enough about the weather. This topic was kind of easy, but only because I have my trusty spreadsheet of owned books. I couldn’t imagine just going over my shelves looking for books that fit. So, I’m apologising to everyone who had to do that!! I did challenge myself to only use each pronoun once though.
InLinkz reminder
A reminder to everyone before we begin. We’re using InLinkz! What this means is you will be in charge of linking your own posts here, rather than me scouring the web (or my spreadsheet) for them. I will be posting ahead of everyone because of *timezones*. So, it should be easy for everyone to drop links for your posts.
The Top 5 Tuesday January-March 2025 topics are out now!! Top 5 Tuesday was created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, and is now being hosted here @ Meeghan reads.
Let’s go see my top 5 books with a pronoun in the title.
top 5 books with a pronoun in the title
The Start of Me and You — Emery Lord
Can you plan happiness?
It’s been a year since Paige’s first boyfriend died in a swimming accident and it’s time she rejoined the real world.
So she makes a plan:
1. Date a boy (long-standing crush Ryan Chase seems like the perfect choice)
2. Attend parties (with best friends by your side: doable)
3. Join a club (simple enough, right?)
4. Travel (might as well dream big)
5. Swim (terrifying. Impossible)
But when she meets Ryan’s sweet but so nerdy cousin, Max, he opens up her world and Paige’s plans start to change. Is it too late for a second chance at life?
Before She Ignites — Jodi Meadows
Mira has always been a symbol of hope for the Fallen Isles, perfect and beautiful — or at least that’s how she’s forced to appear.
But when she uncovers a dangerous secret, Mira is betrayed by those closest to her and sentenced to the deadliest prison in the Fallen Isles.
Except Mira is over being a pawn.
Fighting to survive against outer threats and inner demons of mental illness, Mira must find her inner fire and the scorching truth about her own endangered magic — before her very world collapses.
And that’s all before she ignites.
They Both Die at the End — Adam Silvera
On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They’re going to die today.
Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day.
The good news: There’s an app for that. It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure — to live a lifetime in a single day.
The Hearts We Sold — Emily Lloyd-Jones
When Dee Moreno makes a deal with a demon — her heart in exchange for an escape from a disastrous home life — she finds the trade may have been more than she bargained for.
And becoming “heartless” is only the beginning.
What lies ahead is a nightmare far bigger, far more monstrous than anything she could have ever imagined.
With reality turned on its head, Dee has only a group of other deal-making teens to keep her grounded, including the charming but secretive James Lancer.
And as something grows between them amid an otherworldy ordeal, Dee begins to wonder: Can she give someone her heart when it’s no longer hers to give?
I Shall Wear Midnight — Terry Pratchett
It starts with whispers.
Then someone picks up a stone.
Finally, the fires begin.
When people turn on witches, the innocents suffer…
Tiffany Aching has spent years studying with senior witches, and now she is on her own. As the witch of the Chalk, she performs the bits of witchcraft that aren’t sparkly, aren’t fun, don’t involve any kind of wand, and that people seldom ever hear about: She does the unglamorous work of caring for the needy.
But someone or something is igniting fear, inculcating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches. Aided by her tiny blue allies, the Wee Free Men, Tiffany must find the source of this unrest and defeat the evil at its root before it takes her life. Because if Tiffany falls, the whole Chalk falls with her.

I enjoyed your post and would like to read all of these books, especially I Shall Wear Midnight. I’ve been thinking of reading some of Terry Pratchett’s books and this looks like a good one to start with.
meeghan
Oh I’d recommend starting with The Wee Free Men! It’s the start of the Tiffany Aching books in the Discworld series.
Margaret
Thanks Meeghan.
Janette
I’m impressed that you only used each pronoun once. I was reduced to looking back over my WP image library which is sort of a virtual bookshelf I guess. 😃
meeghan
The best virtual bookshelf!!
Margaret
I use my WP image library like that too. It’s a great help for posts like this one.

This is my first time here, thanks to Marianne, as I explain in my post.
You have a nice variety of pronouns here. No worry, it was easy, I went through my goodreads lists
meeghan
Hi, welcome to T5T! I’m looking forward to reading your post!
Lisa @ Bookshelf Fantasies
This was a fun one! And I love your choices (especially since I just recently read two of the Discworld witch books, and look forward to getting to Tiffany Aching!).
meeghan
Thanks Lisa! The witch books are my fave Discworld ones. Can’t wait to see your reactions for Tiffany!!
Marianne @ Let's Read
This was really fun. And yes, where would I be without my list. I doubt I’d participate in any of these kind of challenges. But even with them, it’s sometime a lot tougher than this week. Thanks, Meeghan.
meeghan
Oh yay! I’m so glad you liked this week’s topic!! 💕
Marianne @ Let's Read
I have done similar challenges for a long time (Top Ten Tuesday, for example) and I still like doing them but I only go for those that are new to me. I do love T5T, because I find the main books for the subject better.
meeghan
Thank you!! That’s so lovely to hear 💕
Marianne @ Let's Read
But of course. If I don’t participate in any given week, that doesn’t mean I don’t like the challenge or anything, just that I have done them so often and don’t want to bore my readers. Also, sometimes I’m just not well enough.
meeghan
That’s completely understandable! Let me know if there’s any topics that you’d like to do!
Marianne @ Let's Read
That’s a tough one. But there are a few topics on my freebie list, maybe one or some of them suits you:
Characters with glasses
Hats
Eiffel Tower
Chairs on the cover
Phone
Typewriter
Instrument
meeghan
I really love finding things on covers!!
Marianne @ Let's Read
So do I. It takes a bit longer than finding words in titles but it is so much fun.
