The Diagram Prize goes to the oddest book title of the year. (See previous blog post, redlinesanddeadlines.blogspot.com/2010/03/oddest-book-title.html).
The 2009 winner has been announced:
Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes by Dr. Daina Taimina (42% of the vote)
Runner-up was What Kind of Bean is This Chihuahua?, which got 30% of the votes. My favorite, Collectible Spoons of the Third Reich, got 11%.
Too bad the contest is only for published books. Boy, if we could nominate some of the titles from submissions we receive...

What happens in the Cave doesn't always stay there... Conversations and news from Ellora's Cave Publishing, an erotic romance publisher.
Good! I voted for it :-)
ReplyDelete(Nah, I didn't want Collectible Spoons to win. Too sicko :-))
Damn, now I'm feeling like maybe I should have submitted my third EC book under its Harlequin Presents alternatitle, The Non-Monogamous Paper Merchant's Forbidden Lumberjack. A missed opportunity if ever I had one.
ReplyDeleteCongrats (?) to the winner!
I guess I won't be calling my new story "Vampires in Lust"... *grin*
