Hey, sweet peas!
Do you ever love a book but just have to shake your head about the title? Wonder how the author who made such a world, told such a story could have been totally unoriginal with the name of the book?
It is funny somehow, isn’t it? Sometimes you just stare at the book and you got this idea forming in your head how much better this book in front of you would be if it just had this title.
Jana asked this question for Top Ten Tuesday this week and immediatly one thing came to mind.
Pumpkin Heads
I honestly could only think of this graphic novel because that was what bugged me from the first time I saw it and read the blurb. Why this title? 😫
I mean, I get it. It could be a wordplay on “knuckleheads” because the two main characters could be kinda thickheaded sometimes but seriously. Guys. Miss Rowell. Why, oh why, is this book called “Pumpkin Heads” when you could have named it
PUMPKIN PATCH PALS
?
It would have worked beautifully. Don’t tell me that that title was too long or already taken or whatever. This book should have totally been named Pumpkin patch pals. I’m kinda salty about it. I don’t even know why. Maybe because alliterations are cool. Second only to puns.
I guess there should be more. I should be thinking about nine more books to give titles to but I can’t. This one is totally taking all renaming space in my head.
What books would you rename? Do you have any cool titles in mind?
Ohh, I just read this!! 🎃 I agree with you though: I had no idea why it was called Pumpkinheads as well 😯 Pumpkin Patch Pals sounds like a really great alternate title!! 🙂
I was really wondering if there was some kind of message behind the title or what it was referring to. But maybe I’m just overthinking it too much. 😅
Pumpkinheads is a ridiculous title. Who wants to read a book about two pumpkinheaded people? No!
Well, if you put it like that. 😂
I have seen Pumpkinheads on a few lists today, it’s definitely not a well loved title haha.

I just feel like there would have been better alternatives. It’s a cute story though. 🎃🎃🎃
Works for me.
Thank you. 🎃
Pumpkin Patch Pals is a good title.
My TTT.
Thank you. 🎃 I love alliterations.
I love the sound of Pumpkin Patch Pals! (Although I do admit that I love Pumpkin Heads as well.)
My Top Ten Tuesday!
Happy reading! 🙂
Thank you! 🎃 I’m just wondering if there is something behind that title that I just don’t get. 😅
