Go Ahead, Win Some Wanderlust
by SB Sarah | July 07, 2008 | Monday at 4:23 pm | 143 Comments
Ann Aguirre has offered 25 ARCs of her new book Wanderlust for the readers of this here blog. Yay!
Want one? Yes? Hook us up with the name of her next book. All the Jax books have compound word titles: Grimspace, Wanderlust, Doubleblind and Killbox. So, what’s the 5th book? Give us an idea, serious or silly.
Drop a comment with your choice of a compound word title, and we’ll pick 25 winners from among the best.
But there is one condition - as Ann is a master of the viral market (in a good way, not in an ineffective antibiotic kind of way) she asks that if you win a copy, you review it, either on your site, or by emailing me your review. So enter as many times as you like, and “goodluck.”
ETA: Ann asked that I post a heads up for anyone in the NYC area: want to meet Ann personally and beg for a review copy of her book? July 22nd is your chance.

Oooh, I’m just excited that there’s going to be a book 5! My (first?) suggestion is Thunderstruck. Thanks!
Ann Aguirre said on 07.07.08 at 04:45 PM • [comment link]
At this point, book five is purely theoretical. I just thought it would be fun to do some preliminary title work (and can I just say, Thunderstruck is GREAT!)
Ciar Cullen said on 07.07.08 at 04:53 PM • [comment link]
Happyplace? Turkeytrot? Thunderdome?
Um, okay, maybe not.
Firedawn. Nightstar.
Damn, I’m terrible at this, and would love to review the book. Rats and mice.

I’ve always thought “Dawnstrider” would be an awesome name for a book. Or maybe a horse. I’d make a crack about the similarities between horses and books but I haven’t had any coffee yet.

Hey, I read Grimspace! It was good! I will admit to having been seduced by the delightful cover ;).
Lifelines?
Knockout? (handily also a genetics term!)
Whilst I’m on the biology - have it be that one book where all the characters behave like idiots and call it Antisense!

Deathstrike

Clusterfuck (okay, maybe Clusterbomb)

Sunspot
Sunstroke (it’s been a little hot lately…)

These are some seriously awesome ideas.
If you win this book, your enjoyment will be enriched if you read Grimspace first (if you haven’t already). Wanderlust is book two in the series.
Sarai said on 07.07.08 at 06:03 PM • [comment link]
So I suck at this but would love a copy how about:
wonderspace? HUH HUH I mean combine the two and poof whole new title. No?
Oh well I really do suck at this but would review it if I win!

Damn! I ordered Grimspace (b/c of SBSarah’s summer reads suggestions) but by my count it won’t arrive before tomorrow at the earliest. This would be so much easier if I knew what I was dealing with!
-But then again, maybe not! Having not read the book yet I am not embarrassed to throw out whatever suggestion comes to mind. I might be more intimidated if I had a frame of places/characters to deal with. Or NOT!? :-P

I haven’t read the first book, but this series sounds interesting. Here are a few shots in the dark:

Checkmate
Stormbreaker

This is tough to do without knowing anything about the plot!
Lyvvie said on 07.07.08 at 06:56 PM • [comment link]
Slipstream, slipshod, slipknot…Don’t know why I’m stuck in slips.
Gridlock, Groundfog, Dreadknot, Starstruck, Srtuckdumb…ok that needs a hyphen.
Lyvvie said on 07.07.08 at 06:57 PM • [comment link]
Wait - Dumbstruck doesn’t need a hyphen.

Ooo, I’ve been waiting for this one! Hmm…I wasn’t expecting to have to do this though. Let me think…
Firebrand
Lostheart
Blackhole
Failsafe
Freebird
Breakdown
Codebreaker
My fiance sez:
Darkmatter
Override
Thunderrun (” It’s a military tactic, a rapid reconnaissance in force, quick in, quick out.” Don’t look at me, that’s what he said)
(He liked the book too)
Yvette Davis said on 07.07.08 at 07:16 PM • [comment link]
Okay, I’ve never read an of Ann’s books, but they do look like something I’d enjoy. Here in Wenatchee, WA (otherwise known as the armpit of the state) local author Kay Kenyon writes stories that look similar to these. I’ll have to pick up Ann’s new book this week!
I just finished another space age thriller, “Accidental Goddess” by Linnea Sinclair (the one with the unfortunate cover). I’m a little behind on my reading…..
So for title ideas that are compound words all that comes to mind is stuff that I think has already been used:
Bodyheat, Badlands, Crapshoot, Doublespeak, Timeslide, Etc. (sigh!)
How about something that ends in -touch, -trick or -trap. Mindtrap? Or how about an obsolete word (yes the language does have some) like Roun which means secret. Rounwave? Or something related to trickster like Gull, which I’ve never heard used. Or there’s gyllen, which means golden. So does Jake Gyllenhall mean he’s a golden room? Hmm… Gyllenmist?
I know, not much to go on. Give me about two weeks playing around with Wiktionary though, and I’ll re-write the complete works of Shakespeare with utter nonsense!

Yvette, I recently read my first Kay Kenyon, and the library just called to say the next one is waiting for me. Yippee!
I am also a big Ann Aguirre fan, but I totally suck at titles. So my suggestions are NOT to be taken seriously, but I would love to win an ARC of the new books.
How about Stonemaiden? Oh, no, already done. Then I suggest Smartbitch.

All you guys who say you’re no good at this? I think you’re doing great! I generally struggle with titles (no, seriously).
I don’t know how I managed to keep Wanderlust, or how I managed to name the third and fourth Jax books without marketing going, “Eh…. not quite what we had in mind…”
True story—I was watching Transformers and they used the phrase, “Killbox One Alpha” at some point.
I was like, “Killbox. That would make a GREAT Jax title.” I leaned over to tell my husband, and he said, “Shhhhh.”
Should I put the Transformers movie in the acknowledgments of the fourth Jax book? *g*

Hi Ann!
I really enjoyed Grimspace, and bought copies for people I love, who were all stoked about the story and voice.
I double checked to make sure none of my suggestions were mentioned above:
Darkafter
Deathmask
Deathmarch (eh, too suggestive of potential plot elements?)
Downtime
Foxtrot
Hardline
Headcase
Killjoy
Overkill
Timeout
How come I can come up with 10 potential titles for someone else’s book, but struggle to find one or two that work for my own? Looking forward to reading Wanderlust, no matter how I get my hands on a copy. :0

Ann,
I agree that the Transformers reference belongs in your acknowledgments. Not so much for serious attribution, although I suppose there’s a case for that, but because it’s fun. Many readers (like me!) get a real kick out of such little glimpses into the author’s brain.
More books, pleez, whatever they get titled!

Or, all the German in the comments makes me want to go with Wumpscut’s “ChristFuck”. Okay, I’d totally buy that book, but good luck getting it published.

Hotsprocket. I don’t know why; it just popped into my head as the logical next to that list. Maybe because it was on your site which tends to make “hot” pop into my mind on a regular basis.
