Books Read Per Month Audience Targeting

This is a 4 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Books Read Per Month (1 3). A sample of responses:

• These are all very depressing. I tried to pick the ones that are more ambiguous.
• I chose based on what pulled me in as a reader.
• Context would matter a lot, it would be helpful to know what the Title was. In it's absence, "The Tear" sounds more interesting, the wording of "Sometimes" sounds more sounds a little more interesting than the other two, and "The Fight for Our Dreams" just sounds kind of odd.
• My First Choice out of these sounds the most original
• I chose B because I think it spoke the most to me. I had a lot of dreams that I didn't do or achieve. And that's okay with me. I want to know what dreams they have and what happened to them. I chose D next because I'd want to know what the end was that caused them not to fulfill their dreams. What caused the failure. I chose A last because I want to know what the fight is for their dreams and how they are beating the fight.

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Books Read Per Month (1 3). A sample of responses:

• I really did not like any of them. I choose them based on my gut reaction as to which was the best of the bunch of OK titles.
• The first cover is the best one.
• i oraganize the novel
• B i like this one look professional, C this one look great too, A i don't like it
• Recreating Martin sounds like an interesting title. Person, Martin just sounds incredibly generic and Martin & Martin2 looks like a bargain bin book.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Age Range (55 64, 45 54, 35 44) and Books Read Per Month (4+). A sample of responses:

• Option B seems more unique. I think you see a lot of titles in this genre with "Kiss Me" so the other ones would stand out more. They're also more sexy.
• These titles are stronger, while A seems more passive & submissive. I see the B books as having strong women characters who take charge of their situations, vs A characters waiting for someone to come along and offer something.
• Kiss sounds far more romantic as used in all of these titles. The other options sound like they're far from romantic and verging on abusive and manipulative.
• I like the kiss me theme and it would tie all the books together.
• The "kiss me" titles in A sounds super sappy and it doesn't sound like there is much action in the story. The titles in B sound like they would reflect a more interesting and engaging story, where there was conflict between the main characters.

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Books Read Per Month (4+, 1 3). A sample of responses:

• It sounds catchier and more "telling"
• The text is bolder and more pronounced.
• I think the 1% is tacky and I wouldn't be interested in a title like this.
• I would be more likely to purchase the subtitle with the word investing in it, it just seem like I would learn more from that title than one that just states commercial real estate
• good quality nice look.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Books Read Per Month (4+, 1 3). A sample of responses:

• The other one looks awkward and you wouldn't know what it's saying until you saw the "Santukkah" at the bottom
• The cover picture describes the title perfectly as it projects a villain looking so hilarious. The option B get my vote as it has the design needed to attract people to it. It's a really nice design
• i like B better because the billboard is not in that picture
• I can't really tell what's going on at the top of A so B looks more put together.
• Neither is exactly for me, but I prefer B, because the curly-toed shoes grab my attention more than the other cover.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Books Read Per Month (4+). A sample of responses:

• It just looks better, like an actual tree. I'd think it's some kinda mushy self-help book.
• easier to read PATH
• B is easier to read what the title is. I would expect some sort of romantic book for teens.
• A because there is no straight and narrow path in this subject. I would expect the book to be filled with contradictions about life and love. And all of them miserable.
• I prefer B much more than A. B is beautiful, where as if I had to follow the path in A I think I would be in trouble. I think it is going to be a book about self discovery and how to live your life.

This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Books Read Per Month (1 3). A sample of responses:

• It is okay as it does not stand out that much. The background could be more colorful.
• I don't recognize the icon that looks like an X with the extra hooks, it distracts me a bit
• no.. I cannot tell what the book is about and I don't like that the title is so spread out, it makes it look choppy. the background and graphic is nice, however, it does not appear to tie in with the title either
• This is reasonable eye-catching. I know nothing about the topic, and I'm not sure if it would draw me into reading the book, but it certainly wouldn't discourage me if I had reason to believe that it's compelling reading.
• Yes, I like this cover a lot. The graphic details give clues to what this book is about. I like the flames because it makes me think of starting over, like reincarnation.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Books Read Per Month (4+). A sample of responses:

• B because it is much easier to read. I had to struggle to get started on A. B was easy to read and understand.
• This description is easier to read. The other one is long, with all the different clauses on different lines, which makes the description a bit choppy. Seems like an interesting book!
• A tells too much of the plot. I have no reason to read the book if so much is given away in the synopsis.
• I wanted to choose A because I typically like book descriptions with longer sentences/paragraphs and dislike descriptions with short, choppy sentences. But the first sentence in A; " North and South Korea on a collision course with..." doesn't sound right to me. I think it needs are to be "North and South Korea are on a collision course..." even if it's grammatically correct the way the first sentence is written totally threw me in description A. If I'd been reading that on the back of the actual book I would have put it back down and picked something else. I also think that option B first the style of the book. The short choppy sentences, although not my personal favorite, fit the action packed storyline and help build intrigue. I also like that there's a dedication on the back, making me think that the story will be similar in style to those authors, whom I greatly enjoy. Finally, "Get your copy now!" invokes action and it's good to end with a call to action.
• The other option is WAY too choppy, it makes the description unreadable and is a huge turn off. I feel like I'd actually read the the chosen description.
