Top 5 books with sizes in the title

Hello friends!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 books with sizes in the title!!

I absolutely fell down a rabbit hole with this one. At first I started looking up synonyms for small, medium and large. Then I went down a path of extra. After that I remembered that Starbucks has some wild names for sizes (venti?). Soon after I remembered that we measure horses in hands, and was looking up different units of measurement, which was not what the topic is… but I may add to the list for next year!! 

So, while I was originally trying to be diverse… most of my books are SMALL books. It’s definitely a more common word than large, or even medium (of which I found NONE)!!

Anyway, without any further ado, let’s go see my top 5 books with sizes in the title!!

* Posting this late because I have, once again, hit my blog’s site limit… I really need to get a new hosting plan. Any recommendations out there?? Please?!

For anyone that needs to know, each T5T post’s InLinkz is open for TWO WEEKS so you still have over a week to drop your links in. So sorry for any inconveniences. Hoping to get this sorted ASAP!! (And definitely before I go overseas for 6 weeks in Sep/Oct!!)

The Teller of Small Fortunes — Julie Leong

The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong

Tao is an immigrant fortune teller, traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She only tells “small” fortunes: whether it will hail next week; which boy the barmaid will kiss; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experience that big fortunes come with big consequences…

Even if it’s a lonely life, it’s better than the one she left behind. But a small fortune unexpectedly becomes something more when a (semi) reformed thief and an ex-mercenary recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child. Soon, they’re joined by a baker with a knead for adventure, and of course a slightly magical cat.

Tao sets down a new path with companions as big-hearted as her fortunes are small. But as she lowers her walls, the shadows of her past are closing in and she’ll have to decide whether to risk everything to preserve the family she never thought she could have.

Sorcery and Small Magics — Maiga Doocy

Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics.

He can summon butterflies with a song, or turn someone’s hair pink by snapping his fingers. Such minor charms don’t earn him much admiration from other sorcerers (or his father), but anything more elaborate always blows up in his face. Which is why Leo vowed years ago to never again write powerful magic.

That is, until a mix-up involving a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime nemesis, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo’s complete opposite respected, exceptionally talented, and an absolutely insufferable curmudgeon. The only thing they agree on is that getting caught using forbidden magic would mean the end of their careers. They need a counterspell, and fast. But Grimm casts spells, he doesn’t undo them, and Leo doesn’t mess with powerful magic.

Chasing rumors of a powerful sorcerer with a knack for undoing curses, Leo and Grimm enter the Unquiet Wood, a forest infested with murderous monsters and dangerous outlaws alike. To dissolve the curse, they’ll have to uncover the true depths of Leo’s magic, set aside their long-standing rivalry, and much to their horror work together.

Even as an odd spark of attraction flares between them.

Small Gods — Terry Pratchett

Small Gods by Terry Pratchett

In the beginning was the Word.

And the Word was: “Hey, you!”

For Brutha the novice is the Chosen One. He wants peace and justice and brotherly love.

He also wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please…

Small Kingdoms and Other Stories — Charlaine Harris

Principal Anne DeWitt knew her past could catch up with her, but she didn’t expect it would make her late for school. Killing a man does take time though; so does disposing the body… if you do it right.

After three relatively quiet years at Travis High School, it seems Anne is in danger of being exposed even the baseball coach knows more about her former life than she ever imagined.

Now, she must find out who else holds her secrets and who wants her to pay for them… without letting it make her tardy again.

Anne still has a school to run, parents to manage, and a few students who might benefit from her unique and deadly experience.

Hero at Large — Janet Evanovich

Hero at Large by Janet Evanovich

He cooks a pot holder in the spaghetti sauce and needs lessons on making Jell-O. Still, single mom and ice skating coach Chris Nelson is committed to keeping her sexy, scruffy, new “house husband” around. After all, she did break his arm… and his toe… and she can’t just turn him out into the cold…

It seemed like luck when this gorgeous stranger first stopped to help Chris with her car, but suddenly her peaceful life turns topsy-turvy as tender, long-suffering Ken Callahan enlists the sympathies of her 7-year-old daughter and her meddlesome Aunt Edna. And even Chris can’t deny the excitement his magnetic blue-black eyes spark deep within her… But who is he?
