So, I was cruising around Amazon the other day, looking for YA books and other things to add to my wish list when I came across Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side.
I have to tell you, I was totally excited. I thought, hey maybe we should contact the author about doing a little cross-promotion. Now, you’re probably wondering why I’d think that about a vampire book. Well, at first glance, I didn’t see a vampire book. I saw this:
Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dork Side
Sad, but true. Although I still think that would fit into the Geek Girl milieu. (Bet you didn’t know there was a Geek Girl milieu; I didn’t either until I wrote that sentence.)
So. No cross-promo op there. (Still, it sounds like a fun book and the cover is gorgeous.)
That being said, I’m mulling over Dating of the Dork Side as an idea. So, I totally have dibs on it.
But it got me thinking about funny (and long) titles for books that may or may not exist (yet). The other title I came up with was:
I Suck: Memoir of a Teenage Vampire (or How I Took a Bite out of the Varsity Football Team, Bled the Student Council Dry, and Got the Girl)
I have dibs on this on this as well. I’m totally writing it someday. After I finish that Millionaire Boss’s Amnesic Virgin’s Secret Baby book I’m planning to write.
Anyone else have a title? Extra points if you can include, in no particular order: zombies, secret babies, vampires, secret vampire babies, memory loss, memory loss involving werewolves, zombie cheerleaders, vampiric millionaire bosses.
My memory loss is so complete my mind was bled dry by your sucking vampire.
I love that title, btw.
Dating on the DORK side is a FABULOUS title! You should totally use it.
Or you could always write THE MILLIONAIRE VAMPIRE AND THE ZOMBIE CHEERLEADER’S SECRET WEREWOLF BABY…So Secret, Even the Mother Doesn’t Know.
I agree, “Dating on the Dork Side” is AWESOME.
And, ha — my “Return to Stiller Creek” started as a personal challenge to write a secret baby cowboy story. No amnesiac virgin mistress, though. Dang it. Maybe next time.
