Books with Luck in the title

Friday the 13th is supposed to be an unlucky day. So I thought I would post a list of books, that I have read, or want to read with the word “luck” in the title.

The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. Publication Date: September 21, 2006. Pages: 343. Publisher: Penguin Books
  1. The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan is a book that’s been on my To Be Read list for a while. It’s a story about family, and relationships.
Get Lucky by Katherine Center. Publication Date: March 25, , 2010. Pages: 289. Publisher: Ballantine Books

2. Get Lucky by Katherine Center is a story about a woman who decides to change her luck. It’s a lovely story that I enjoyed very much about families and their relationships.

Good Luck With That by Kristan Higgins. Publication Date: August 7, 2018. Pages: 480. Publisher: Berkley

3. Good Luck With That by Kristan Higgins is a very emotional and often humorous book about three women, friends from camp who are all dealing with weight issues. I loved this book and the relationship between the three women.

Beginners Luck by Kate Clayborn. Publication Date: October 31, 2017. Pages: 246. Publisher: Lyrical Press

#4. Beginners Luck by Kate Clayborn is the first book in her Chance of a Lifetime series which follows three women who share a lottery win. This first book follows Kit Averin, a scientist who wants to use her winnings to buy a home. I enjoyed this series because Kate Clayborn writes about highly intelligent women using humor and a lot of heart in her stories.

Luck of the Draw by Kate Clayborn. Publication Date: April 24, 2018. Pages: 245. Publisher: Lyrical Press

#5. Luck of the Draw by Kate Clayborn is the second book in her Chance of a Lifetime series. Luck of the Draw follows Zoe Ferris who was able to use her winnings in the lottery to quit her job as a high-powered attorney. This book includes a fake fiance trope and both main characters have a lot of baggage to overcome.

Best of Luck by Kate Clayborn. Publication Date: November 27, 2018. Pages: 243. Publisher: Lyrical Press

#6. Best of Luck by Kate Clayborn is the third book in her Chance of a Lifetime series and it follows Greer Hawthorne as she uses her winnings to pursue her long-overdue education. This book finds Greer having to escape her overprotective family and has a hero who is commitment adverse.

  1. The only one I have read is Good Luck With That by Kristan Higgins. I have enjoyed several of Katherine Center’s books, so will see if I can find that one. Great idea for a post, Wendy.

    • Thank you Jodie. I think you’d like the Kate Clayborn books. I read them all a few years ago and really enjoyed them.

    • Thank you Jolene. I was scheduling a post and saw that it was for Friday the 13th and thought I should do something lucky for that day!

  2. What a great idea for a post! I went and searched my Goodreads and I only have ONE book with “luck” in it! It’s “Lucky” by Staci Stallings. I am not superstitious so Friday the 13th does not bother me and I have actually had a pretty good day 🙂 Happy Friday!

    Oh my gosh Wendy! I didn’t even realize it’s Friday the 13th till I looked at your blog post! 😬🤦🏻‍♀️📚

  4. Fun way to celebrate Friday the 13th! I read and enjoyed Good Luck With That. I’d like to read Get Lucky as I’ve enjoyed Katherine Center’s stories. Didn’t know about this early one.
