Books With a Unit of Time in the Title

 Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl! I can't remember having done this one before--an interesting idea! I feel like this often, although not always, implies time loop and time travel books or books limited to particular units of time, all of which I think adds to excellent dramatic tension. I've read some of the books below, but others are books I want to read!

Books with a Unit of Time in the Title

1. Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights by Salman Rushdie--Read this years ago--I don't remember much except that it's written in second person, references 1,001 Nights, and involves djinn. 

2. The Arabian Nights: Tales from 1,001 Nights--this is a classic but I've never actually read it, although I watched the movie over and over. I'm definitely a big Scheherazade fan.

3. See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon--Haven't read it yet, but this is a time loop book that I really want to read!

3. Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew J. Sullivan--A mystery that takes place in a bookstore in Denver--I bought this at the Tattered Cover Bookstore, where the author once worked. 

4. Tuesday the Rabbi Saw Red by Harry Kemelman--I enjoyed this whole series--the first seven start with days of the week, and they all feature Rabbi Small from a Boston suburb solving a mystery with pilpul. 

5. Dogs on the Trail: A Year in the Life by Blair Braverman--This one was so adorable! Recommend as a coffee table and just to flip open or glance at whenever you want to smile.

6. Eternal Life by Dara Horn--what if the unit of time was eternity? Horn does a great job of depicting what that might look like. 

7. Your Perfect Year by Charlotte Lucas--This one was clever, though also a little heartbreaking, and definitely centered around the time period of one year. 

8. Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan--Such a fantastic title, which unfortunately, I didn't think the book lived up to, maybe because it was really about a mysterious society and not about books, so my expectations were dashed. It is open 24 hours a day though. 

9. My Jewish Year: 18 Holidays, One Wondering Jew by Abigail Pogrebin--I enjoyed this one, and learned some too. 

10. How Long 'Til Black Future Month? by N.K. Jemisin--Ok, the stories within are not really related to the title, but probably the best SF short story collection, if not best short story collection, I've ever read.
