Today is a quick one and comes from the random thought department. TPP saw the following comment recently:
If you were a book, what would your title be?
Unknown
Why should you ponder on this… well the title for a book is very important, it gives the prospective reader a very good idea of what the book will be about. This helps the person decide if it is worth their time and effort to read or to not bother at it is not their cup of tea.
Paper Breathers has a very good article on “The Importance of Book Titles… And How They’re Like Baby Names“. They state
If a book were a person, its clothing and outward appearance would be representative of the cover, and its name the title.

So your homework today is to ponder on what would your book title be and why.
Ponder away!
