I’m days away from completing my first book (woohoo!) and I would like YOU to give your honest opinions on which title I should use (yikes!). But here’s a few things to note:
What my book isn’t
- Boring
- Voluminous
- Conservative
- Complex
- Depressing
What my book will be (hopefully)
- Revealing
- Informative
- Playful
- Funny
- Unique
My book is in two parts: Part I is a collection of all my intriguing childhood and teenage experiences within Nigeria and the United Kingdom; and Part II is a collection of the most popular posts on my blog. My story is a comical take on my journey to self-discovery and my desperate attempts to fit into this odd world. My wish is that this book will inspire readers from all walks of life to accept themselves for who they are no matter what critics say, and to pursue their passion because that’s usually the one thing that makes us feel alive.
Book titles for consideration
- The Crazy Nigerian (Same title as my blog)
- Crazy Nigerian Boy
- A spoonful of Imbroglio
- This joke’s on me
- X, Y, Me
- Moonwalking down Memory Lane (I’m a big MJ fan)
- Shut up! I’m talking…to myself
- What they didn’t know
- So you thought I wouldn’t publish this
- Experience was my worst teacher
- They don’t teach you this at school
- Right off my chest
- My brain is at the drycleaners
- Air miles and plastic smiles
- The Write-Off
If you could spare a minute and just Cut & Paste the title or titles you like, or you could conjure up a catchy title that you think will suit the type of book I’m writing – that’ll be great!
The Reward!
