It's a little clunky for me, and honestly makes me think of one of those dimestore romance titles on the shelf at the grocery store. I'd probably pick it up if it was in a bookstore or something, but I'd have a preconceived notion of what I was expecting.

Sounds dystopian. I'm a bit of a sucker for them, so I'd definitely pick it up and read the blurb.

Well I think that that title @MaddieMouse013 is unfamiliar to me(perhaps written in another language) so I wouldn't really be that interested in it because I don't really understand it.

Burning Caves is an interesting enough title. I already want to know why the caves are burning and how. It gives off the feel of a summer-camp novel that you'd read on a car-ride, or something. If the first few paragraphs were interesting, I'd probably read on.

The 'phobe' part makes me think of fear and overall it makes me think of sci-fi. I think I would pick it up to look at it, and probably open it up and give it a read if it looks good. It does catch my attention and makes me curious.

Ooh that is an interesting title I like how you could come up with many different stories and genres from it.

Sounds a bit like a failed garden. Maybe it'd be a bit of an Aesop. I probably wouldn't give it a second glance, but if I picked it up, I'd read the synopsis. :)

It sounds a bit stereotypically fantasy, and a bit too awkward to just smash those two words together. In actuality, it makes me think of the name that a Mary Sue/Gary Stu would give their Perfect Sue Horse in a fantasy novel. I'd probably skim over it, maybe pick it up if the cover art was interesting.

This one makes me think of mythology and nature, and as one who likes both of those things, I would defiantly pick it up. However, I feel like you could do something more. It could use just a little touch to hind at the mood of the story since it is a little plain-sounding.

Haha! I'd say the exact same thing as you for the one above yours. It's kinda hard to make a title very intriguing and unique. That's why there's always a cover and a synopsis on the back of the book to further spark your intrigue. Perhaps don't make your title the main subject, maybe a quote or a theme in your story.

It seems like it would be one of those realistic fiction books about teenagers in high school. Maybe even a diary where the main character is a girl.

Fate always changes, according to some, and according to others, it never does. What is the title really trying to say? What is the content in it?

This sounds like a realistic fiction story about a failing relationship (doesn't necessarily have to be romantic). That or a dystopian future novel about zombies, but not so much this.

*Mythology mode switches on* Ooh, give me ze Roman Gods. Right quick, please! So, I'd most definitely pick it up, and mentally translate all the Roman names to Greek names. It's either that or a Sci-fi book, which I'd pick up either way.
(Frozenmoon pretty much translates to H*** in the Stoneslide world. It's a sequel if I get that far.)

Oh I am not that interested in knights so honestly I would probably just leave it on the shelf. And again that foreign language throws my mind off. That's just my honest opinion.
