I think so too. I mean it's what the reader/potential buyer reads first. One of my fave titles is "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" I mean how could that not grab anyone?! LOL! <br /><br />I do like your titles especially when they're illustrated by your fab pics. :-)<br /><br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.com
