Listing titles
what is the correct way to say the following:
I enjoyed "Book Title One", "Essay Two" and "Move Three"!
I can't remember if titles are underlined or not. And not sure where to place the [,] before or after the ["].
Thanks in advance.

Abbie1948 is stating the British rule. In standard American usage, you would put the comma inside the quotation marks -- ["] = "inverted commas" in British usage.
The American rule has no logic to it -- it was simply adopted (long ago and indisputably) as a printer's convention because it looked better than [",].
