The Atlanta Journal-Constitution just released a list of the worst book titles and you can click here to read more of this article!
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the winner was Disney’s COOKING WITH POOH!
This article prompted memories of some old elementary school jokes about book titles. Remember them? Like YELLOW SNOW, by I.P. Daily?
It also prompted me to think about the worse titles I could ever imagine for my novels. Take THE CALLING Vampire series for instance. I’ve had DARKNESS CALLS, DANGER CALLS, TEMPTATION CALLS, DEATH CALLS, DEVOTION CALLS and BLOOD CALLS. In December, there’s FATE CALLS. Next year you’ll be seeing FURY CALLS, ARDOR CALLS and VENGEANCE CALLS.
Okay — so how’s this for a worst title ever in THE CALLING Vampire series — NATURE CALLS. LOL!
Then there’s the Chicas. They’ve done FRIDAY NIGHT and had some SEX after CATCH(ING) THEIR MAN. What’s next?
What’s next is a holiday title contest for you! From now until Sunday at midnight, leave me your ideas for the worst made-up titles ever for one of my books or a real life title from a book you’ve read/seen.
The winner will get an ARC of HOLIDAY WITH A VAMPIRE and a SOUTH BEACH CHICAS CATCH THEIR MAN t-shirt!
Finally, for all of you in the United States, may you all have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving!

by Annette November 22nd, 2007 at 3:05 pmHow about: The South Beach Chicas Holiday with a Vampire?
by Irene November 23rd, 2007 at 8:55 amThat ought to get a rise out of the girls!
(sorry, I couldn’t resist)
Hmmm, worst boook titles for your books? Well, how about:
Calling All Vampires
Shopping Calls
Calling All Co Ed Vampires
Calling Long Distance
Insanity Calls
Dementia Calls
Hoot-Nanny Calling
The Calling of the Small Bladder
Calling Your Vampire In Law
I Forgot Who I Was Calling
The Creditors Called (and they want money)
That’s about all I can think of this morning without a cup of coffee. I can’t actually think of really bad titles from books I’ve read so I’ll stick with that. LOL
Cheers!

by Jamieson Wolf November 23rd, 2007 at 8:56 amI am terrible at this. The only thing I could think of was ” Neck’s Calling” and “My Neck’s Bleeding for you” Sorry. I try harder next time. Have a great week-end.
by Fannie November 25th, 2007 at 1:02 amI’m terrible at this

by Jenny M November 26th, 2007 at 1:01 amChicas and Salsa
LOL! That’s been done in the movies right?
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:23 amOH NO!! I think I’ve seen that one as well. What were they thinking?
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:24 amWow — You put a lot of thought into it. And yes, BLOOD CALLS — not one of my favorite titles. The original title was LOVE CALLS, but it needed to be darker.
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:25 amI actually considered BITE ME for a title one time! LOL! I am so bad with titles. I don’t think I’ve kept my title for any of the books I’ve written!
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:26 amROFLMAO! BLOOD DRIVE. That’s a good one.
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:26 amThe Happy Housewife? Only if she has Ryder in her house! LOL
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:27 amGood ones, Annette! Like the Have Blood will Travel one!
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:28 amYou are too much, but you know what –
Vampire Elder Stacia is visiting Miami next year. Maybe she’ll run into one of the chicas.
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:29 amDEMENTIA CALLS! That’s what I feel like with this year running by — demented.
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:30 amThose were good — I liked Neck Calling!
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:31 amCollect Call — That’s a really bad one. Good job!
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:31 amTRY DYING is a good one. Thanks for participating.
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:32 amAre how about THE SALSA CHICAS? Does that mean they come with chips or a shake in their hips? LOL!
by Caridad November 26th, 2007 at 8:33 amWell, I missed the boat here but had one for you anyway…
Nuisance Calls…might be a comedy.
Prank Calls…Same thing (is your blood bank refrigerator running?).
Avon Calls/Calling…they’ve got a little something to add a little color to that pale complexion.
Brooding Chicas… (like that year - long ago - when petticoat junction, get smart, and my three sons all had babies during sweeps.)
Hope you had a good one…gj
