TTT: Book Titles Related to Jobs/Occupations
Okay folks. I don't know about you, but I couldn't find books with occupations in the titles. I looked through a list of one whole year of books I've read and didn't find one single mention of a career or occupation. My tweek this week, therefore, is to list titles which could relate to occupations or at least pay the participants.
Example:
Book -- Occupation: The Hearing Test by Liza Barry Callahan --- Audiologist
Used in a sentence: The audiologist gave the woman a hearing test after the rock concert.
