Books and Waffles Alphabetical: L

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Books I’d Give Different Titles To. I'm not sure what this prompt even means. Titles are my weakness when it comes to stories, so if the prompt is what I think it means, it's probably best if I don't rename books. Instead, here is my alphabetical post for …
