For me, the title of a book is important. After all, it’s what makes me pick up a bookin the first place. The title must strike me and make me wonder about the story between the covers. Is it a serious romance? Or one with a touch of humor? Will it scare me or make me laugh? Or make me cry?

I love these titles from Cheyenne McCray: Zombies Sold Separately, Vampires Dead Ahead, and Demons Not Included. Aren’t these fabulous? What do they conjure up in your mind?

What titles do you find fun? Curious? Scary? Romantic?
Happy Reading!

I love titles, too! Did you come up with your title, Angel in the Moonlight, or was it a suggestion by the publisher? Just curious as I've seen it go both ways!
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn!
ReplyDeleteI love a good title. In fact, I thought of one while I was driving to work this morning for another as yet unwritten novel - I already have the character names, setting and partial plot and now I have a fun title to go with it!
Angel in the Moonlight was my title - the publisher let me keep it (though it wasn't the original title while I was writing the book). I came up with it after writing a scene and thought "Hmmmm, I like this better."

I love interesting titles that make me think "What could that be about." Of course, a great cover helps too. I think when a title catches your eye enough to read the back blurb, then you've got something. One of my recent favorite titles is THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER. I had to buy the book just to find out what it was all about.
ReplyDeleteAlexis,
ReplyDeleteI loved that book! What a great story it was (the sequel was pretty darn great too!). You're right though, it was the title that grabbed me (the book was also recommended by a friend, which made it even better).
