Okay, this Top Ten Tuesday, I am ready for! I don't intentionally search out books with long titles, but the end of year survey I do every year includes my longest and shortest book titles, so it's something I've thought about. Plus, I do occasionally read academic texts, which tend to have gloriously long titles and/or subtitles. All of the following books are what I could find in my physical library at home!
- The Jewish Feminist Movement in Germany: The Campaigns of the Judischer Frauenbund, 1904-1938 by Marion A. Kaplan
- Writing Across Contexts: Transfer, Composition, and Sites of Writing by Kathleen Blake Yancey, Liane Robertson, and Kara Taczak
- Naming What We Know: Threshold Concepts of Writing Studies ed. by Linda Adler-Kassner and Elizabeth Wardle
- Bread & Beauty: A Year in Montgomery County's Agricultural Reserve by Claudia Kousoluas and Ellen Letourneau
- My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman
- American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin by Terrance Hayes
- One Fine Day the Rabbi Bought a Cross by Harry Kemelman
- The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears by Dinaw Mengestu
- Make Your Home Among Strangers by Jeanine Capo Crucet
- Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn
Update 10/14: I just had to add this addendum when I found out my book club's next title is Black Widow: A Sad-Funny Journey through Grief for People Who Normally Avoid Books with Words Like "Journey" in the Title by Leslie Gray Streeter

The list of authors of this book, Writing Across Contexts: Transfer, Composition, and Sites of Writing by Kathleen Blake Yancey, Liane Robertson, and Kara Taczak, is long, too!
