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!
Well, 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
Are how about THE SALSA CHICAS? Does that mean they come with chips or a shake in their hips? LOL!
TRY DYING is a good one. Thanks for participating.
Collect Call — That’s a really bad one. Good job!
Those were good — I liked Neck Calling!
DEMENTIA CALLS! That’s what I feel like with this year running by — demented.
You are too much, but you know what —
Vampire Elder Stacia is visiting Miami next year. Maybe she’ll run into one of the chicas.
Good ones, Annette! Like the Have Blood will Travel one!
The Happy Housewife? Only if she has Ryder in her house! LOL
ROFLMAO! BLOOD DRIVE. That’s a good one.
I 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!
Wow — 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.
OH NO!! I think I’ve seen that one as well. What were they thinking?
LOL! That’s been done in the movies right?
Calling all VampCars
Chicas and Salsa
Only one I can think of is a new one.
“Try Dying”
Ok, I’d rather not until I’m ready to go home to Glory.

I’m terrible at this
The South Beach Chicas go to the beach.
Call me later
Collect Call
I am so horrible at this
I 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.
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!
