I then commented, saying that many Simon and Schuster books have odd taglines.
Steph agreed and found the tagline "Kiss my hall pass," the tagline for Oh My Goth by Gena Showalter.
And so, I realized that a tagline post needed to be done.
Some taglines are pretty accurate: "Your dreams are not your own" - Wake by Lisa McMann."In a world of extreme beauty, anyone normal is ugly." - Uglies by Scott Westerfeld.
Some are a little weird: "Are you a good witch....or a bad witch?" - Revealers by Amanda Marrone.
Some a little scary: "How to meet the boy of your dreams in a month or less!" - 30 Guys in 30 Days by Micol Ostow.
Some are a lot scary: "What's sexier than a two-ton costume of brown fur?" - Animal Attraction by Jamie Ponti. (I can think of a few things.)
Some question you: "What does it take to cross the line?" - Something Happened by Greg Logsted.
"What if you could get any guy you want?" - The Secret Life of a Teenage Siren by Wendy Toliver.
"How is a girl to choose?" - The Boys Next Door Jennifer Echols.
"Do you believe in fate?" - Invisible Touch by Kelly Parra.
But most are at least a little weird, while also being slightly accurate: "You can never have too much....DRAMA!" - The Four Dorothys by Paul Ruditis. (This one isn't that weird until you consider the fact that, on the book, the word drama is in big gold sparkly letters.)
"You either have it....or you don't." - The One by Ed Decter.
"If you want it that bad, it can't be good..." - What Would Emma Do? by Eileen Cook. (Why do so many of these have ellipses?!)
"At boarding school, no one can hear you scream." - Wuthering High by Cara Lockwood. (I don't want to go to boarding school then.)
"The dead travel fast." - Soulless by Christopher Golden. (Zombies aren't fast.)
Anyone have any more festive taglines to share?
*And kudos to Steph for finding some of these taglines. (:
Can't think of any gems at the moment. But I'll take a look around and get back to you.

Love this!
ReplyDeleteThe Clique: "The only thing harder than getting in is staying in". It just cracks me up because this series has titles like "boys R Us" and "Dial L for Loser"...but i love 'em anyway!
And Around the World in 80 Dates: "What if Mr. Right Isn't Mr. Right HERE?" LOL......

I kind of loathe taglines. Isn't the title enough?!
ReplyDelete"What's sexier than a two-ton costume of brown fur?"
ReplyDeleteOh. My. God. I'm still laughing my BUTT off from reading this. xD It's an... interesting tagline. . .
hope.
Why, a two-ton brown hairball, of course.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Khy. I've never even thought too much about tag lines, but you're right. There are some weirdies out there!
