The 52 Book Club: 2025 Challenge discussion

46. A Job Title In The Title


For this prompt, choose a book with a job title in the title. This could be a specific career (example: chef or doctor) or a management job title like “manager” or “executive.” It could be a recognizable profession or something that the character is simply known for like, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.

To get creative with this prompt, the job title could also be found in the sub-title. For example: Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise

I read Sex Cult Nun: Breaking Away from the Children of God, a Wild, Radical Religious Cult by Faith Jones.

I read The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty for my book with a job title in the title. Loved it despite a slow start. Much more to it then I figured there would be and I find myself thinking about it and rethinking why certain parts were written they why they were.
