Hi Nola, What great thoughts. I love original, intriguing titles which draw us in and make us want to know more. I have a book on my kindle entitled 'Sewing for the Insane' which drew me in just by that title. There's also one I picked up from a friend's book clear-out based just on its title, 'A Seahorse in the Thames.' Looking forward to your tips, as I've always found titles a challenge. Good on you for starting up your blog again too.
Hi Paula - Those are great titles. 'Sewing for the Insane' sounds like something I should pick up - LOL It's amazing how a title can grab you before you even know what a book's about. If the book can leap off the shelf into someone's hands based on the title, there's a chance they'll at least look further.
And thanks for the encouragement re the blog. I think I did more than 40 in a row, but I found I was spending most of my writing time working on the blog rather than doing my other writing. Hoping to get more of a balance this time. Also have more experience now so hopefully each post won't take as long to write. It's been way too long :) Thanks for your comment.
