  Title Talk on Thursday
  Title Talk on Thursday is a NEW weekly bookish meme, hosted by Tea Time with Marce. A time to share opinions on how the title represented the story, while networking and adding to your Wishlist. All Genre’s of Books are Welcomed.
*Title
     The Remains
*Author
     Vincent Zandri
*Genre
     Thriller
*Summary of the book
     Synopsis (borrowed from PUYB): Thirty years ago, teenager Rebecca Underhill and her twin sister Molly were abducted by a man who lived in a house in the woods behind their upstate New York farm. They were held inside that house for three horrifying hours, until making their daring escape.
  Vowing to keep their terrifying experience a secret in order to protect their mother and father, the girls tried to put the past behind them. And when their attacker was hunted down by police and sent to prison, they believed he was as good as dead.
  Now, it’s 30 years later, and with Molly having passed away from cancer, Rebecca, a painter and art teacher, is left alone to bear the burden of a secret that has only gotten heavier and more painful with each passing year.
  But when Rebecca begins receiving some strange anonymous text messages, she begins to realize that the monster who attacked her all those years ago is not dead after all. He’s back, and this time, he wants to do more than just haunt her. He wants her dead.
*Opinion on Title, is it a clever title, a grab your attention title, is it original, does it match the genre,etc
     Both the cover and title, in my opinion, describes the book.  I am a bit biased though, I am a big fan of this author, so no matter what the title or cover is, I will read his books.

Title Talk on Thursday (new meme 2 of 4)

From her site:

  Why I decided to start this meme – When I read a book and come across the title, it always brings a sense of accomplishment and I think clever, interesting or I just smile with that ahh moment. So I decided to create this meme hoping it starts great conversation on each others blogs especially when we have read the same book.

Comment and leave the following:
*Title
     Seven Year Switch
*Author
     Claire Cook
*Genre
     Chick Lit
*Summary of the book
     Jill has been living her present life in the past, not facing her personal issues. It takes a girl’s vacation to allow her to accept the past and start to live in the future.
*Include a Teaser sentence the Title was used in if it is NOT a SPOILER
     (borrowed from book’s jacket)  They say that every seven years you become a completely new person, but Jill isn’t sure she’s ready for the big change.
*Opinion on Title, is it a clever title, a grab your attention title, is it original, does it match the genre,etc
     I loved the title and more so the cover.
