I'd probably pick it up, just because it's an interesting concept, and also because it reminds me of a line from a song which I really like. But it would depend on the cover art as to whether I flipped it open or not.

Fantasy. Again, a lot would depend on the cover art. The title doesn't grab me, but if the cover art was really good I might consider it.

I agree with Shafter here: cover art is a big booster. I have the habit of picking books ONLY with good cover art. (Which I know is bad, there are lots of great books which do not have interesting outer content).
I am reading Lolita for example now. Two black covers, no title. I had to ask the librarian for it.

This is for Shafter. :)

I'm not sure. It sounds interesting and I'm sure it's relevent, but it also sounds like just another fantasy novel with an inpronouncable name. I think East of Acharren sounds better, too.

Hmm... intriguing title, though I'd need cover art to determine it's genre. But whatever it is, I have a feeling it's either serious or satire.

(West of Acharren is actually one of the titles I considered for my book. But I didn't take it. I only have one story with a title, so thinking up titles to post at the end is a challenge.) ;)

Murder mystery? Possibly a sci-fi, because I automatically think 'as opposed to not murdered yet?', so there could be time-travelling involved...
Hmm. I seem to be thinking too hard on this one. Here's a title I've been toying with.

I don't like the word "Stormsinger's" So it would depend on where it was in a book store, which I know sounds foolish, but I keep away from books in "best seller" or stuff like that. And the cover art, I'd probably pick it up in general but if it sounded no good it wouldn't get any time.

I like it, but it sounds a bit like a play.

It sounds like either another clichéd fantasy or some sort of take-off. Oblivion might be a stronger title. However, it would make a good subtitle.

It sounds interesting. Almost biblical and fantasy at the same time (David is such a biblical name for me.) I would pick it up, for sure. The cover art could be real plane, and I think I would pick it up.

It sounds intriguing, perhaps something like a teenage fiction, about coming out of your shell perhaps. It's sounds like the sort of thing I'd pick up anyway ^^

Interesting, sounds dark and would catch my eye in a book store. Who is this weaver? Why is it bundled with blood?

Hmm... a lot would depend on the cover art. I like the title, but it's hard to say what genre it is. I'd immediately think fantasy, but cover art could offset that.
