I would see that title, and the only thing I'd be able to think of would be "Gone With the Wind." It's too reminiscent of the title of a well-known work, so I'd suggest revising it. Perhaps "On the Wind" would be better? Or "Windblown?"
Okay, here's the working title I have for my current novel project, which is currently in the outline/brainstorm stages.
Dark Moon Rising
If you want any details behind it, the main character's name is Deimos, which is where the "moon" part comes in, and it's a sci-fi/horror/coming of age story, which makes the whole metaphor work. 
EDIT: Twilight can suck my figurative cajones. That being said, I suppose I shall have to bite the bullet and read the things to prevent further accidents like this title issue. *sigh* |

I think its a bit too reminescent of the way Stephanie Meyer uses the phases of the moons as titles in the Twilight Series (ex: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn).

This sounds like a story about a girl or a boy who is kinda tough but find themselves exiled from the world around them. I like the title, maybe if its not realistic fiction (boring) I'd pick it off the title.

*sings* The city I live in, city of angels, lonely as I am...
Ahem.
Anyway, it sounds like a cyberpunk novel to me. Or detective noir. Maybe both!
Goddess Fallen
EDIT:
Goddess Fallen is the story of a lovely young woman who is a sex addict and prostitutes herself at night while her boyfriend is at work. Long story shorts, she meets an incubus who draws forth her power, transforming her into a succubus who soon has a cult following in the tens of thousands. I'll leave it at that for now, no need to spoil the entire thing. |

It sounds like a mythological, really long fantasy novel.

Sound like either a bunch of stories describing séances, or a mystery about ghosts. Might raise my interest.

A bioengineering company and a rogue government are quietly removing key world figures and are replacing them with physiologically doubled figureheads.

Makes me think of something fantasy. I think it has something to do with three different objects or people who are in some way connected as one.
Sounds pretty cool, I'd pick it up and read the back.

Hm ... for some reason, it reminds me of The Prestige, even though that's not even a book. Like maybe the title of a stealth-and-intrigue novel or something. Sounds kinda intresting.

Totally cliche teen lit story about someone running away from home and learning life lessons and whatever. Kinda bland and uninteresting. (I still love you, Wolf. xD)

I get a feeling that it has something to do with gaining knowledge. Either through supernatural means or plain old growing up. I'd read the first chapter to get a sense of the story.

A satirical pseudo-children's book (think "A Worm's Story" by Gary Larson) that pokes fun at all of the generalizations and outright errors in medieval fiction and common beliefs/misunderstandings.

Something to do with a lover/performer of music. If other things happened aside from music, I would definitely read it.

Either a reincarnation novel, or a story about a Houdini-type guy who fakes his death a lot.

Sounds like a mystery novel. Could be kind of cool.
