Middle-Eastern, or fantasy with that tilt to the tone. Only because I like the sound of it, I'd pick it up. Though I don't tend to go for name-titled stories ^_^

Some sort of YA novel about drugs and cars. Don't ask why. I'd probably read it as a "summer fling" type of book. :D

It sounds like nothing I would tend to read, but it's tone is dry enough it amuses me. I'd glance at the summary just for that. ^_^

...I haven't the slightest idea. It might be an awful, young adult piece - or it could be a fantasy short with odd ideas. I would look at if it were the latter.

(You could always at least Google-translate it, so you get some sort of idea. Presque Vu means "almost seen," as in being on the verge of an epiphany, am I correct?*)

A silly story about a grandfather telling his grandson a bedtime story, and his grandson find a magical item that used to belong to his grandfather. Something like a parody of Arthur and the Invisibles.

I have almost no impression at all... Something looking forward to an event, likely mainstream fiction? With no impression, it would be a toss-up as to whether I looked more closely or not.

(*v. proud*)

I'm guessing ... I really don't know. I can picture the cover, though. A scripty font on an aged-looking paper, and the font looks like in black ink that's since faded to brown. I'm thinking it might (might!) be a historical fantasy (one of those "secret" histories, like The Da Vinci Code or Peter and the Starcatchers.)

Erm... a main character who's always been perfect, and is expected to do the right thing, stressing about it to the point of suicide? I'd look at it if it had cool cover art. :P

It sounds like something that I would read... mainly because I tend to like books that have the word star in the title. :D

And This is the Crazy Part

My new title for The Cliched Journey Through Fantasyland. I'm not really sure if it fits. Feedback?

I like it. It seems like it would be about a group of teens who fall into a fantasy world, and have a bunch of romances that keep getting weirder.

It also seems like it would make a good custom rank.

Something inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest, which explores the story from Ariel's point of view. Everything from his imprisonment to the arrival of Prospero & Miranda, through the course of the play and a little of his life after Prospero releases him is covered. I would totally read that, especially if Ariel was male.

Caper's the word that comes to mind, and an amusingly quirky contemporary story, perhaps set in London or New York, or California suburbs -- odd contrasting locations, but I'd pick it up. Even if it had bloody rotten cover art.
