What kind of book title do you like and why?

Favorite Answer

I like a title that doesn't reveal much about the book. One of my novels that I wrote is called "Let it be" and it refers to the main character's favorite phrase that she says all the time.
But then again, I also have a novel "Night of the Dead" about a zombie apocalypse, that title reveals enough but I think it's also smooth and easy to remember.
So to conclude, it depends on my mood xD...Show more

I don't like titles which basically sum up the entire book in three words, but conversely I also don't like titles that seem so disconnected from the themes/genre of the book that you can't understand why they were chosen. Titles which are sensationalist, over the top or seem to rely on shock tactics don't appeal to me either.

I like titles to be subtle and intriguing, and to reflect the genre of the book without giving too much away....Show more

I like mysterious titles like the title of the first book in my series is called Society's End. It's not really about the end of anything but the beginning of a new society. It don't tell you that when you look at it though....Show more

I like three words in a book title, or more. Two and especially one word just don't seem memorable enough unless the word is a long one or something....Show more

As long as it's intriguing, I like it. Like Nightmare on Elm Street, The cabin in the woods....etc...Show more
