And Colors Like Memories is still free (yep, gotta get that in there somehow...). I hit the 400's in the overall store the other day, and #1 in one of my categories, so that's pretty sweet :)
For today, I'm taking the awesome Leandra Wallace up on her tag in the Terrible Titles blog hop. Her titles made me laugh out loud, so be sure to check those out. Plus, Leandra's a sweetheart with a great blog--well worth the click!
The rules are to pull up your manuscript and randomly stop while scrolling through. Whatever words/phrases your cursor has landed on will become your eight terrible titles. Here are mine from my (terribly titled) Coincidences, the NA paranormal thriller I'm querying. Considering I kind of hate the title it current has, but haven't been able to come up with anything better, this could be interesting ;)
- Added Aass
- Bite to My Words
- Small Whirlpool
- Damn Observant
- Changing the Wording
- Nothing Better Than New Undies
- Smelled Like a Trap
- Fake Plague
So these are pretty dang random :) Also, I'm horrible about tagging people, so does anyone want to play along?
What's the worst title you've ever heard?
52 LIKES by Medeia Sharif
Cover Reveal, Evernight Teen, 2015
Releases January 16th!!
After a brutal rape and near-murder, Valerie wants to get past feelings of victimhood from both the assault and her history of being bullied. She’s plagued by not knowing the identity of her rapist and by the nasty rumors in school about that night. Valerie follows clues from ghostly entities, past victims of the rapist-murderer, contacting her through a social media site—why do all of their eerie photos have 52 likes under them? Their messages are leading her to the mystery man, although he’ll put up a fight to remain hidden.

Congrats on your flash publication. There was an air of finality about it - hopefully not too final!
ReplyDeleteI really like Fake Plague. I'd pick that up. Nothing Better than New Undies sounds like a chick lit holiday read - very different!
Congrats to Medeia. Wow, she's prolific. Seems like I was only just reading about her last new release!
I'm laughing, Meradeth! "Nothing Better Than New Undies."
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Medeia. I've seen her book around the blogosphere several times. I am sure it's a great story just from reading the blurb.
Congratulations on making #1! I can't wait to read your book while on vacation next week.
Nothing Better Than New Undies would make a great MG novel! And Fake Plague has possibilities too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Medeia! A rockin' writer for sure.
#6 hahaha!! I'm dying! and so excited for Medeia! :)

Thank you so much for sharing my cover.
Lol! Fun post. Congrats to Medeia!
ReplyDelete#6! Hilarious, and also true. Though they always need a few washes to feel comfortable... =D #4 is my next fav!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! These titles definitely made me smile- and wonder what else was happening when your cursor stopped. :) The undies one could totally be a title! :)
