October 24: Top Ten Unique Book Titles.
1. S.; J.J. Abrahms. Naming a book after just a letter is tricky.
2. Life, the Universe, and Everything; Douglas Adams. All the Hithchiker’s Guide titles are weird, but this is a favorite.
3. Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him; Danielle Ganek. Spotted in a bookstore.
4. Gork, the Teenaged Dragon; Gabe Hudson. Teen dragon tries to find a queen.
5. The Princess Saves Herself in this One; Amanda Lovelace. Poetry about relationships–love, heartbreak, healing.
6. Island of the Sequined Love Nun; Christopher Moore. A pilot crashes on an island with a rather strange religion.
7. Strong Female Protagonist; Brennan Mulligan. She’s retired from fighting crime, but she’s still a hero.
8. Temporally Out of Order; Joshua Palmatier. If anyone else has used this pun about items unstuck in time, I haven’t seen it.
9. The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents; Terry Pratchett. What if the Pied Piper was working with the rats?
10. This Book is Full of Spiders; David Wong. The tag line “Seriously, dude. Don’t touch it.” pretty much says it, I think.
Great choices. 🙂
I agree, great selection! Some of them I’ve never even heard of, and that last one? I’m taking him seriously. Why chance it? Spiders? Eeeeek. (Give me snakes, any day!)
There aren’t real spiders, but there are plenty in the story! 😀
Bad enough! Man, I do not like spiders. (But I don’t kill them anymore. I make Mark catch them and put them outside!) 😀
I love that Lulu title! Hilarious!
I did a double-take when I saw it. 🙂
All of David Wong’s titles are unique! I had John Dies at the End on my list haha
John Dies at the End is a good title, too. But I actually like spiders, so I had to share. 🙂
Great choices. I’ve had The Princess Saves Herself In This One on my TBR for a while now. My TTT https://franlaniado.wordpress.com/2017/10/24/top-ten-tuesday-unique-book-titles/
There’s always more books than time, right? Hope you enjoy it, when you get the chance!
These are some great unique title choices. All the Hitchhiker’s Guide books have great titles; I think my favourite is The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. There’s just something about it that grabs me more than any other in the series.
Again great picks. 😀
I had to pick one of H2G2’s titles, but it’s a tough choice! Thanks! 🙂
The Princess Saves Herself in this One sounds so good! 🙂
It’s amazing. You should read it, if you have a chance!
