Top Ten Colorful (or Off-Color) Book Titles

Bookshelf with text across the top reading "Speaking of Books..."

This may not be the type of “colorful book covers” today’s Top Ten Tuesday topic meant, but here’s my list of top ten off-color book titles that people might be embarrassed to ask for at the library. Sh*t My Dad Says by Justin Halpern may have been the one to start the whole profanity-in-the-title trend?

I was surprised at how many I found that had to do with parenting. I could have done an entire list of colorful parenting book titles.

Hmmm.
