I like Slay it with Flowers. Gets me wondering how the slaying is actually done So maybe more the title than the cover?? Brush off works too. Would have been so much cooler if someone was in there chair. Or more like, trying to flee the gizmo chair. In my head, that takes the cheesy prize

The Covers and Titles I have loved were the “Nerd” series by Vicki Lewis Thompson. They are a great pick me up after a downer of a day.

My faves are Heir of the Dog and Slay it with Flowers!! Love ‘em! On What Grounds is pretty good, too! LOL

I’m bad about judging books by their covers, so the more interesting the better, imo. *wink*

Thank you!

I happen to find book covers as entertaining as the catchy titles. When you put the two together, you really catch my interest. In this case is was “Heir of the Dog”.

Oh, what great titles – how to pick my fave? I have it narrowed down to two . . . “Heir of the Dog” and “Hostile Makeover”. Then again, I really like “Jamaica Me Dead” and “Slay It With Flowers” . . . Okay, final answer, “Heir of the Dog.” Or “Slay It With Flowers.” No, no, “Heir of the Dog.”

What fun. There are so many series out there that keep coming up with these catching word play titles. You never know what will come out next.
