I'm making up my own Wednesday topic today, as this is something I'd like to talk about! Here are some of my favourite book titles (in no particular order): Looking for Alaska - John GreenThe title 'looking for Alaska' makes me think about a trip of some sort to go find the state Alaska, but the Alaska from the title is actually a girl's name, which I think is a nice little trick to confuse, but also attract readers. I'll Give You the Sun - Jandy NelsonThis is another title I like because it's not what it seems at first glance. It sounds pretentious to 'give someone the sun', but when you read the book it suddenly makes sense and it's pretentious, but actually meaningful! Fortunately, the Milk - Neil GaimanFrom reading the title of this book, you wouldn't have a clue what it's about. Then when you read the back cover, it actually turns out to be about milk! I love this title because it makes me think it's going to be one of those clever titles like mentioned above, but nope. It's really about milk. The Hate U Give - Angie ThomasThis title is technically taken from a song, but it fits the book so well that I'll excuse it. Before you read this book, the title doesn't really mean much yet but it still fits the synopsis. After you've read it, this title suddenly means everything. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl - Jesse AndrewsThis title is catchy and makes the book sound both casual and dramatic at the same time. Which is exactly what it is, so I think it's brilliant how the author took the vibe from the book and portrayed it accurately with the title. That's my Top 5 favourite titles! What are your favourite book titles? Let me know!
