TTT: Books with LOVE in the title

  • Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton
  • Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
  • Dreaming the Beatles: The Love Story of One Band and the Whole World

  • Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira
  • Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich
  • The Atomic Weight of Love by Elizabeth Church

Surprisingly, even though I eventually found several books with LOVE in the title, there were not as many as I thought there would be (and several titles were pretty obscure.)
