For some reason, it strikes me as some sort of spy-themed historical novel. Or a romance. If the cover art suggested the former rather than the latter, I'd pick it up.

I would pick it up! It sounds like it could be anything, it leaves it to the mind of the reader. Romance. Action. Revenge. Wars. Really, it could be anything. The cover art would just help me be reassured in how cool of a book it would be :-D

It sounds a bit morbid - not because of its meaning, but because of a common public lack of comprehension when it comes to penance. At least, so would be my impression. All the same, Latin's got to catch my attention. ^_^ I'd want to know whether it was historical fiction, a thriller of mind games and soul games... I wouldn't know. A good thing.

(yeah, meant Mea. But I type too quickly)

I like it. Mostly because it reminds me of a Thoushaltnot song, "let your silence sing" it also had a magic quality to it... The fact that "sung" is in the past tense makes it really....I get the feeling everything is already over, something bad has happened, and you can't change it. The past tense is so dark for me XD

Hmm. I get kind of a weird first impression from that one -- it sounds like what it means: simple and bold, no pretensions. On the other hand, it also feels kind of exposed. Depending on the genre/cover art, I'd probably have a glance at the back if I was feeling daring.

Sound interesting. Makes you think of opposites. Could be a drama, or a horror. Anything, really...although, maybe not a romance.

I'd pick it up.

I think that that means 'I Want You' but then my french translation is rather rusty. My first impression is romance XD, because everyone says that French is the most romantic language (though i think italian is more so *grins*).

If you left the title in english, it would appear to be kind of creepy, like some thriller with a stalker involved.

But with the francais touch...it appears more romantic.

Maybe a tad too passive, not hitting enough. Although there is an element of intrigue.

Sounds like a nonfiction political book or something. I wouldn't pick it up, but I assure you that it's only because that's not my kind of book.

It sounds like a book for elementary school age kids, with short stories in simple prose. A children's book with humor and mystery. I'd pick it up, I love chlidren's books.

It sounds like titles by Juliet McKenna and I think it involves a troublemaker getting what he/she deserves and then he/she decides it is time to get serious about the next prank.

Sounds like some sort of psychological literary story exploring life. Depending on the cover art, I might pick it up.

Sounds like a silly kids book. Or a some for of pop fiction. I probably wouldn't read it.
