About 30% "Is that already in print" ranging down to 20% "Is that a translation error?"

Intrusion from another generator:

77 Charmed Blades, Reckless Canaries

[telophase]

It's got a lot of ninjas, too. One of the lists I pulled from was a YA sports book list, which had some martial arts books in it. XD

[movingfinger]

Canary Ninjas: a property with extremely marketable merchandising!

[telophase]

That's a pretty good ratio!

[movingfinger]

There does seem to be a trope of "emotionally charged/poetic word plus mundane word" that I find inexplicably hilarious.

113 Becoming Bike (OK, The Third Policeman, but a YA!)
68 a Liar Like Furniture
35 Losing Ramona: The Train Ninja Love Song #5
45 Other Troublesome Peaches
77 Second-Hand Couples, Modern Rafts
103 Mother, Help Me Traffick
99 Challenger of Puddle
72 American Luminous Murders
90 Gelato and Other Black Stardust
114 Holding with a Splintered Playlist
76 Rotten Sun of Dancing
81 Jesse & Margaux's Tempestuous Furniture (HBO-ready)


Then there's these, which kind of sum up the NYT bestseller list:

96 Girl
49 Something Killer

[telophase]

“Furniture” comes from the truly epic blank verse angstfest “Because I Am Furniture,” and produces some nice wtf titles. XD

[thawrecka]

I'm pretty sure at least one of those - Before I Fall - actually is a book and a film, and it blends in well with a lot of the rest.

[rachelmanija]

A lot of these sound strangely like horror novels.

[telophase]

I think that may stem from a lot of thriller and dead-friend novels, which have words like Grave and Dying in the title. “Mother, Help Me Live” supplies a pattern I love, which can theoretically produce titles like “Jailbait, Help Me Vanish.” (Role, help me verb) And yes “jailbait” was in a real title so you know I slapped in there as soon as I saw it.

[telophase]

I really hope one day to see “Cheerleader & Jailbait.”
