• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

So on today's BookBub email detailing eBook deals, this is the first time I've stopped and smiled, clicked on the book-link and bought the book (rather than downloading a free book they have on offer and that I probably won't get round to reading). I think it's got an arresting title. It reiterated the importance of tile to the customer buying experience. I get this from PopUps, but something in this really clicked for me. Anyone else had a similar experience with a title?

'John Dies at the End' by David Wong.
Bought it purely because of the title. Book did not disappoint.
