The importance of titles...

So I was browsing Barnes and Noble with my husband the other day and I turn around he's looking at the back of this hot pink book.

To clarify, my husband violently hates pink and he definitely doesn't read chick lit. So I look at him and laugh and ask "are you going to buy that?"

Turns out, he was so confused and intrigued by the title that he had to read the back. The title was The Accidental Virgin, and he couldn't figure out how someone could be an accidental virgin, so he read the back and that didn't answer the question. I swear he might almost have bought it to find out why. lol.

So it just goes to show, that a great title can at least help get people to pick up your book. (Kind of obvious, but funny when you picture my pink-hating husband picking up a hot pink book. lol)

Good for you for overcoming your fear of pink! I think in this case, my husband probably wouldn't have liked it since from the title, it was probably romance or chicklit. But it was still amusing

all guys despise pink. It's innate.

For the most part, you're right. But the funny thing is that one of my guy friends and my foster brother both LOVE pink. In fact, my foster brother has a pink shirt that says "don't laugh. this is your girlfriend's shirt." This is the kid who wanted a pink tux for prom too.

So they either despise pink or the few that love it, REALLY love it. lol.
