Happy Tuesday!! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is an especially fun one: it asks us to share ten book titles that would make good band names. I had such a blast making this list!
- Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I imagine this would be a sort o folksy band entirely comprised of women.
- Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. Some nice blues, maybe?
- Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen. Definitely an upbeat pop band, probably with some angsty but empowering hits for teens.
- Men Without Women by Haruki Murakami. Lots of sad songs coming from this band.
- The Falconer by Dana Czapnik. So edgy! So hip! Definitely an up-and-coming solo artist.

- Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. Gives off some alternative rock vibes to me.
- North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. Maybe a lyrical, folksy duo? (Sort of reminiscent of the duo The Civil Wars?)
- Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur. Sort of similar vibes as North and South–I love band names like this where the singers are a duo.
- About Grace by Anthony Doerr. Either the singer is someone named Grace OR they solely sing songs about someone–or a dog, perhaps–named Grace.
- The Girls by Emma Kline. An excellent, classic name of an all-girl pop band.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this fun Top Ten Tuesday post!
What’s a book title that you think would make a great band name? What do you think of the books that I mentioned? Let me know in the comments section below!

Little Women would make a great folk band for sure.

Graham Greene’s “Brighton Rock,” of course.
“Les Miserables,” in English, for a punk band.
“Ghost Wall” for a Goth band.
“Wonder Valley,” for a whiny singer-songwriter group.

“North and South” were a terrible 90’s boyband in the UK, they had a kids TV show on the BBC and released songs from that. If you want to punish your ears, I’m sure Youtube will have a few music videos haha.
Little Fires Everywhere would be a brother-sister electronic pop duo.
Alias Grace would be an actual person named Grace. Probably plays an accordion.
The Lovely Bones would only ever perform jazz covers of Britney songs.
