The idea is self explanatory: Book Titles With One Letter Missing

| Book Titles With One Letter Missing |
John DiGilio @iBraryGuy
An Ale of Two Cities — It was the best of beers. It was the worst of beers. And they were ready to war over it. #bookswithalettermissing
Madame Ovary — A novel about a doctor’s wife who flirts with the idea of becoming a surrogate mother. #bookswithalettermissing
Daniel Pink @DanielPink
Liver Twist — A scruffy orphan invents a delicious deli sandwich. #bookswithalettermissing
Brilliant, yes? And there are quite a few other entertaining suggestions as well. So I thought I’d wade into the conversation with a few groaners of my own.
Cannery Ow – a scathing reprimand of the canning industry’s lack of safety standards.
Wuthering Eights – Katherine and Heathcliff survive the hijinks of their six children.
Beak House – Chickens, and turkeys, and ducks. Oh my!
Hose of Sand and Fog – a bitter rivalry for ownership of a hosiery factory.
Back Beauty – A photo journal of tattoo artistry on the backs and hips of sensuous women.
and finally:
Harry Otter and the Goblet of Fir – Muskrat Harry sets out in search of the Goblet of Fir, a magic container some claim is a myth, others, a reality. (I know, technically I took away two letters in the title, but in my defense, one was actually a subtitle. Still, pretty funny, eh?)
And now it is your turn. Let me know if you join the conversation at #bookswithalettermissing. I’d love to hear your funnies.
