To be honest, the title just makes it sound like the usual fluffy, soppy, cliche'd romance. Theres nothing wrong with that at all, i only read romance myself, and i do enjoy the fluff, in moderation. But i'm sorry, the title aint that great.
Thanks For Something |

To me it sounds like a romance. I'm sorry to say I wouldn't buy it (only because I don't read romance), the title seems a little cliche, but other than that its fine.

A Fantasy about a world in turmoil. If cover art was good and blurb was interesting enough I'd buy it.

Sounds like a kind of cliched fantasy. Sounds not bad though. =P

Sounds like it might be a name. But then I don't know..hmm. Wayard? I guess it is a name. I had read 'wayward". I'm not entirely sure what I think of it. It doesn't bring anything to mind...I'd prefer something that clued me in.

Ever Wayward
Anyhow, I like yours. I would pick it up and scan the blurb. Nice title  |

Ah! Now I don't know which one to comment on. 
Hmmm, 'Neither Snow nor Rain' sounds kind of cool. Sounds like some sort of emotional drama to me, but like it could be about anything. It doesn't give much away, but it's enough to sound interesting.
'Ever Wayward'; immediately makes me think it's an epic for some reason. Is it?

Wow! Yours sounds like something about the Holocaust. In A Besieged City... Definitely sounds like a Holocaust book title to me. I'm actually currently reading a book about the Holocaust (The Book Thief) and your title just made me think of that book. Definitely original and catching.

Ah yes, you said about that. That sounds kind of funny, because it gives away a bit of the plot (if it is about an ex being gay). I woul read the blurb and see if there is more to it than the title.

Sounds like a romance... maybe historical. I'd pick it up to check, and if it wasn't romance, I might flick through it.

Hmm, sounds like some kind of history or fantasy story that is some how related to ancestors. I'd flip through it to see what it was about.

A book about the holocaust...no, it's not, but it is about a Jewish guy and his grandfather is a holocaust survivor. That's sort of very close.
Big Island, Little World...I can't decide between it sounding like a travel book (a la Bill Bryson) or a book about a figurative journey of discovery, but something like that.

I like the idea behind it but I reckon you make it more catchy. Still, I like it. It seems like either a romance or a... teenager's romance! I don't know, but it would catch my attention.
