Mm. Something fantasy-ish. Magic + music? Might pick it up to read the blurb, if the cover art was good.

Something fantasy-like about twelve children/teenagers who find that they have magic powerrs and must somehow save the world.

Hmm. That's a tricky one. On the one hand, if you take the title literally it suggests something about a fallen angel or an angel born on earth for some reason; figuratively, it suggests a story of redemption with possible spiritual overtones. I'd definitely pick it up, if only to find out what it was about!

The Crystal Throne

Sounds like something about a young prince who had been raised without any knowledge of his royalty. When he finds out about it he must go and reclaim the throne form some evil uncle/duke. Sounds interesting.

Reminds me of that story I wanted to read about Nazis who are upset they have to kill kids, and yeah....It's a very upfront title, for one, so it's almost a turn off because you automatically know what it will be about: so why even read the back cover? Perhaps if it had some mystery to it.

Sounds like lit fic, dramatic and possibly centering on a dysfunctional romance. The title'd get me interested; the blurb, if it was good, might convince me to buy it.

I think of a HHG2tG sort of thing, which is excellent. Justs needs dolphins in the title and it'd be perfect XD

*wince* I'm sorry, but any mention of singing or singers or songs in the title is just cliche at this point... every amateur writer (my past self included) has at least ONE story with something like that in the title. Besides, it's mysterious, but there's nothing incredibly compelling about that title. It sounds dramatic, probably fantasy-ish.

It sounds like either fantasy or historical fiction to me, and is too short to hold my attention. Also, I'd be afraid to say it out loud for fear of mispronouncing it. xD Sorry.

it sounds like a fictional story about vampires meeting over the internet. Seems kinda cool. Probly will read if it had an amazing front cover.

Hmm... Makes me think of someone who doesn't think much of himself, and about his story in life. Or something. It was a bad bad guess...

Ha, this one'll have you guessing for ages!

Sounds a lot like fantasy, something like a big adventure thing. I'm not sure it's my type, but if it had an awesome cover, then I would probably be inclined to read the back, after which I would decide whether or not to read it. I don't think the title would catch my attention enough though...

mm I would think it was a psychology or philosophy book in itself, just just because of the title? Otherwise it's about some philoso...phist who tries to help some psycho guy who is stalked in the middle of the night during his dreams by a murderer who is faceless and is really just a shadow? Either way, it's a might.

Neither can I :P

It's true. Especially for Paolini. I'd glance at the blurbs, might pick it up on the cover art alone if it was good.
