TTT: Book Titles With Ordinal Numbers



Top Ten Tuesday: Books Titles With Ordinal Numbers

An ordinal number is a number that defines an item’s place in a row: First, third, 22nd. etc.)

I've read all these books, some I liked, some I didn't, and others I can't remember much about since I had to look as far back as 2013 to fill out this list. (Date in parenthesis is the year I read the book.)



1. The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin (2025)

2. Tenth of December by George Saunders (2024)

3. A First Time for Everything by Dan Santat (2023)

4. The First Notes: The Story of Do, Re, Mi by Julie Andrews Edwards (2023)

5. The Sixth Extinction: An Unusual History by Elizabeth Kolbert (2022)

6. Pray First: The Transformative Power of a Life Built on Prayer by Chris Hodges (2023)

7. Voices from the Second World War: Stories of War As Told to Children of Today by First New Limited (2023)

8. Motor Girls: How Women Took the Wheel and Drove Boldly Into the Twentieth Century by Sue Macy (2017) 

9. Fourth Down and Inches: Concussions and Football's Make-or-Break Moment by Carla Killough McClafferty (2016)

10. The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey (2013)

Of note: six of the titles are nonfiction; six of the titles are for children or young adults.
