The german book title for "Convenience Store Woman" is "Die Ladenhüterin" which means simultaneously "Woman who protects the store" and "Product that does never get bought and therefore sits in the store forever". I think that's brilliant.

My personal favorite is "I'm Glad My Mom Died". I saw this at the store and bought it just from the title. I wanted to know how the author would justify this title. And oh boy, justify she did. "The Palace of Illusions", "The Kind Worth Killing", "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous" & "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" are few favorites too.

You should do this with book covers too! A good cover will always get me. They say don't judge a book by its cover, but I think if the author/publisher has good taste on a cover, I know they'll have good taste in writing. It's worked for me every time.

my personal favourite title is "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me", it's a 1960s novel written by a guy who died in a motorcycle crash a few days after it was published and one of the most undeservedly unknown novels ever. it's just a clever title and a reference to a blues song.

My favourite without a doubt is "Turtles all the way down", just at first look you are very intrigued by it and want to know more and when u actually learn about the title It gives you a lot of meaning and all the metaphors in the book which are actually connected to this title are just brilliant. My second would be "Beautiful world, where are you?" I remember just have great expectations for this as a title so beautiful really asks you the question of how beautiful is the books actually.

I absolutely adore the title “Lie With Me”. It’s one of those titles that have even more meaning after reading the book. I love how it depicts both the act of lying as in omitting, keeping a secret (of their relationship) but also the romantic sense of lying down, being together with. Another title that also makes me swoon is “Alone with you in the ether” it’s such a poetic title and fits the story SO well

Such a cool video idea, I love long book titles! Some of my favorites are “when breath becomes air” by Paul Kalanithi, “their eyes were watching god” by Zora Neale Hurston, “human acts” by Han Kang (I know this one’s rather simple, but it’s just so perfectly chosen for the content of the book. The Korean original title 소년이 온다 is also really cool), “night sky with exit wounds” by Ocean Vuong (like could a poetry book have a more gorgeous title?) and the German title for Michaela DePrince’s “taking flight”: Ich kam mit dem Wüstenwind, which translates as ‘I came with the desert wind’ and I just think that’s a stunning title for a memoir^^

"The Earth Has a Soul" by Carl G. Jung. It's such a beautiful way to view the world and inspires us to think twice about how we treat it.

Fredrick Backman's novella "And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer" is a beautiful title that perfectly encapsulates everything the characters are enduring within its pages. So beautiful.

becky chambers has some absolutely fantastic ones. The wayfarer series especially has some of my favorites - "The long way to a small, angry planet" "a closed and common orbit" (that one's probably my favorite, its just so poetic and fits the story in such a subtle but profound way) "Record of a spaceborn few" and "The Galexy and the ground within". "A Psalm for the wild-built" is also suchh a banger

Never clicked on a thumbnail so fast in my life! Lets be honest, the vibes of a good title can be just a good of a hook as the cover. The last book I bought based on the title alone was “Everyone in this room will someday be dead” by Emily Austin (right on top of my TBR).
