Top Ten Tuesday: Books with "House" in the Title

Top Ten Tuesday is a tag hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's prompt is "Book Titles That Include the Word '[insert word of your choice here]' (Pick a word and share ten book titles that include that word!)"

Last year when this prompt came up, I did the word "star". This year, I went with "house"! All covers are linked to Goodreads.

Blackbird House, by Alice Hoffman

Genre: Magical Realism / Short Stories

Release Year: 2004

I read this in 2019 and thought it was such a unique concept, to follow a house through the centuries in a series of short stories. I highly recommend it, if you like magical realism and short stories!

Greenglass House, by Kate Milford

Genre: Middle Grade Mystery

Release Year: 2014

This is one of the best Middle Grade books I have ever read. The setting is so evocative that it truly makes you feel like you're snowed in at an old inn with a bunch of strangers at Christmastime, and the mystery kept me turning the pages! 

House of Many Ways, by Diana Wynne Jones

Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy

Release Year: 2008

We can't have a list without Diana Wynne Jones! I reread this one a few months ago and remembered how delightful it is. It's technically a sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, but I don't think you necessarily need to have read HMC to enjoy this (although it probably makes it funnier).

Little House in the Big Woods, by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Genre: Classic

Release Year: 1932

I wasn't a huge Little House fan growing up, but I did enjoy them and I loved Garth Williams's beautiful illustrations!

Orchard House, by Tara Austen Weaver

Genre: Memoir

Release Year: 2015

This sweet memoir is a love letter to gardens and family. It's a perfect, atmospheric late-summer read.

Starling House, by Alix E. Harrow

Genre: Gothic Fantasy

Release Year: 2023

I read this last fall and absolutely loved it! The characters were some of my favorite I've come across recently, and the setting was so atmospheric. I need to read more by Alix E. Harrow! (The Everlasting is on my TBR.)

The House at the Edge of Magic, by Amy Sparkes

Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy

Release Year: 2021

This is the only book on this list that I haven't read. It's on my TBR, though!

The House of Mirth, by Edith Wharton

Genre: Classic

Release Year: 1905

This book had my blood BOILING in the best way possible. I think I'm an Edith Wharton fan now!

The House on the Strand, by Daphne du Maurier

Genre: Historical Fiction

Release Year: 1969

Daphne du Maurier's signature storytelling style is strong in this unsettling historical fiction/mystery/time travel mashup.

The House Saphir, by Marissa Meyer

Genre: YA Fantasy

Release Year: 2025

Not one of my favorite Marissa Meyer books, but I enjoyed it!

That's it from me! What's your favorite book with the word "house" in the title? If you're participating in Top Ten Tuesday this week, what word did you choose to feature?
