First, I think you should see the list of alternatives. At this juncture, I must throw a shout out to the spectacular CJ Redwine, who literally spent a whole afternoon on Google with me trying to find the perfect title. (And then I just went with the original that I pitched when I sold HOURGLASS. Because that's the kind of friend I am.)
LIST OF ALTERNATIVE TITLES FOR BOOK TWO:
Pendulum
Horus (stop laughing and Google it)
The Book That Almost Killed Me
Stopwatch
Secondhand
Super Hot Kissing Book
Chronological
Sundial
Time Travel Is Hard
Timeline
and probably my personal favorite, because it has absolutely nothing to do with anything:
METRONOME
Alas, none of these were chosen, but I'm happy to announce what was. HOURGLASS book two is titled .........................
That kind of feels a little anticlimatic to me. But it's all I'm allowed to give away for QUITE A WHILE (other than the fact the title is pertinent to the storyline), so I'm rolling with it. What do you think?
In celebration of the title release, I'm giving away a signed copy of HOURGLASS! Fill out the form below to enter to win! (US/Canada receives signed copy from me, International receives book from Book Depository, and signed bookplate from me.)
CONGRATS TO THE WINNER, BETHANY LARSON!
Great title! I cannot wait. Thanks for the giveaway. Woohoo, you are awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the title. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteGah! I am not really liking the whole TIMEPIECE thing the other two Secondhand and my personal Favorite metronome is what I pictured but I can deal with it... :(
ReplyDeleteI love the title! Can't wait for Timepiece, :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the title for book two. I think it fits well with HOURGLASS. :)
ReplyDeleteYAY! Timepiece is a fantastic name!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read the synopsis when you can release it!
I'll be evil and say I really like the name Pendulum and Super Hot Kissing Book as well, haha.

Excellent! Love it. And entered. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper Hot Kissing Book???!!!!???? Love the title. But, SHKB should have had more consideration. LOL. Love.
ReplyDeleteTimepiece is a great title. Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT! It's a perfect title for an Hourglass book!
ReplyDeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I think you went with the right one, though I appreciated muchly the list of alternatives. Hee hee. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell after the long list it did feel sort of anti-climatic as you say xD.I actually loved Metronome as well and wonder why it didn't work because it comes back as a synonym for timepiece. Ah well with all names the more we know about the subject the more it will fit :)
ReplyDeleteThank-you for sharing and thank-you for the giveaway!

Sadly, there isn't a metronome in book two. Maybe I'll put one in the acknowledgements? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metronome
ReplyDeleteAs a musician, I kind of wish you'd gone with Metronome. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteIf there are any more books in the Hourglass world, I will put in a metronome. *frantically thinks of plot line involving metronome*
ReplyDeleteHOWEVER. THERE IS SUPER HOT KISSING. And the book did almost kill me. But that's for ANOTHER DAY.
ReplyDeleteFantastic title...and can't wait...now we are waiting for the next step....COVER REVEL! Hourglass's cover is amazing! Thanks for the chance.

LET THE BUZZ BEGIN!!!!!!
I LOVE the title!! Though The Book That Almost Killed Me and Metronome were good choices too!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT great title and love the giveaway!! THANKS A MILLION!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if the title will sustain me for long. I can't wait for TIMEPIECE to come out!
ReplyDeleteOoh, very cool! Can't wait until we can read the synopsis and everything. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I so would have went with Super Hot Kissing Book LOL Now I want to write a books and steal that as my title ;)
ReplyDeleteI so cannot wait to read TimePiece whooot!!
Oh, I really like Metronome. But Timepiece feels more old-fashioned--in a good way. A time-travel-y way.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and thanks for an awesome giveaway!
I love it!!! Although, you really had me with SUPER HOT KISSING BOOK.
ReplyDelete:)
Love it! Great choice!!! Now to get it on the shelves :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the giveaway!!!!!! I cannot wait for timepiece :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the title and you know how we are about the kissing scenes... YES PLEASE! lol
ReplyDeleteSounds great. I always like when titles in a series have a connection or some kind of series.
ReplyDeleteLove the title! Thanks for the great giveaway chance too. :)
ReplyDeleteI just want to READ it! Can't wait. :D
ReplyDeleteThe Book That Almost Killed Me is what I would have gone with, just for giggles. I can't wait to read this - I adored Hourglass so much, one of my favorites of the year!
ReplyDeleteMegan @ Read It, See It
Love the title. Flows so well with Hourglass.
ReplyDeleteI'm soooooooooo excited!!
ReplyDeleteI might have screwed up the form. Oh dear. Can I just get your signature on a cocktail napkin as a consolation prize??? Also, TIMEPIECE as a title is spectacular. Nice secret keeping.
ReplyDeleteY'all are cracking me up with the comments. I don't understand why no one likes STOPWATCH. Not sexy? No? Bummer.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! Love time travel!!
ReplyDeleteGreat title!! So vintage-y cool. You don't pull a timepiece out of a hollister hoodie pocket, you pull it out of your corset, or your indiana jones bag. Love it!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! Finally! A title! I can't wait for your next book!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others...Timepiece is a great name, and very evocative. :)
