Green Eggs and Ham - yeah, we missed that one, didn't we? Too late to come out with Purple Eggs and Yams now.
Yvonne.
Great title list. Wish I'd thought of them too.
Thanks again, and have a great weekend!
I love: "I'd Tell You that I Love You, but then I'd Have to Kill You" too. Makes me chuckle every time.
Congrats Karen!

Diane - For sure. The first big mash-up.
Yvonne - Yes :)
Linda G - Maybe you'll think of the next great title!

Congratz, Karen!

Em-Musing - You, too!
Karen - My pleasure...and Jennifer's, too!
Dezmond - That title always makes me smile :)
Linda K - I agree.
Luanne - The only one that I'm pretty sure came from the author is Green Eggs and Ham. I think this is the book that Dr. Seuss wrote to win a bet about only using a few words to make a complete book.
Linda J - I DO love Dr. Seuss!
Clarissa - Life of Pi is good, too :)
Julie - I may have done some of that cruising :)
I have to add David Foster Wallace's "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again", which I always thought was really clever.
Sia - See my comment about Dr. Seuss above. It makes sense that catchy titles come from marketing types.
VR - LOL! You never know :)
Arlee - I didn't know about a potential movie version.
Johanna - Pssst...come closer. It's a secret. I never read PP&Z.
Meradeth - Maybe we should all take a class in how to create a title.
CATachresis - Oh, I like that one!
The Elephant's Child - That's awesome. I have only read a few of the ones I listed.
Wendy - Great minds :)
Liza - Another good title!
I love Dr. Seuss!
Lexa - Oops, sorry. I didn't mean that I wanted to write those books. I just wished I'd created the title - or something equally catchy for one of my own.
Golden Eagle - I think you're right :)
Julie
J.L. - We could be rich, LOL!
Melissa - You could make green eggs for St. Paddy's Day! Just a little food coloring :)
Congrats to Karen.
Medeia - It's an older kid's book. The title makes me smile :)

But not as rubbishy as some film titles (mainly action movies). I mean, Die Hard. What on earth does that mean!??! Die Hard. It doesn't make sense!
:-) Take care

Shannon - Definitely another great title.
DWei - That's a good title, too!
Patsy - And there are a lot more great titles out there, too.
Awesome titles!
I also wanted to let you know that writing a blog post for you a while ago inspired me to write my new cookbook THE MALL FAIRIES SWEET TOOTH COOKBOOK! Thank you! I wrote Mall Fairies' stories and some of my best recipes. It's free on Kindle right now and you may recognize one story--thanks again.
Gotta love a chance of meatballs.
Hope you've had a great weekend, Carol. :)
Ciara - Some I would have. Especially Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. That one cast a spell over me the first time I heard it.
Nas - I agree.
Conda - Very cool! I'll have to zip over to Amazon :)
Lynda - I agree! A good meatball is hard to beat :)
Julie - Ha! See my comment to Ciara above. Spellbinding title.
I've read your Number One title and loved it! I also read the prequel or sequel...don't remember which, but loved them both!
