Nanowrimo Title

I need a title. Ok, well, I don’t need a title. I haven’t started the book yet. But part of the fun of NaNoWriMo is wasting time doing stuff like coming up with titles and making banners and cover art for your book that doesn’t exist yet. So, yeah, I kind of do need a title.

Here’s my one sentence premise line (which may change, but hey, we’ll go with it for now):

A beautiful and bookish historian falls into a time warp and ends up on an adventure with the infamous (and surprisingly non-fiction) gentleman scientist from H.G. Wells’ THE TIME MACHINE, to keep his invention out of the hands of an evil government official bent on world domination.

I hesitate to call it steampunk because that’s so trendy right now… but it’s steampunk. And romance. And adventure. And comedy.

Here are some of the suggestions I’ve gotten so far, but feel free to add your own ideas in the comments:

Scientific Secrets
Historical Patent
Agent in a Warp
Time and Love
Science in a Warp
The Science of Time
Invention to Hide
Time Away
Time Machinations
Time for Me
Time for Tea
The Backwards Book
Wells of Time
Patent Pending
Future Yesterdays
Into the Time Rift
Fly Through the Ages
Race to the Past
Run from the Future
The Most Incredible, Butt-Kicking Time Travel Novel of All Time So Strap Yourself In And Get Ready To Clench Your Buttocks In Excitement (This one is my personal favorite so far.)

Thanks in advance for your help!

I like the Backwards Book and Wells of Time best :-) But I think I'd like something not so obvious. As working title, anything goes ;-)

I like Time Machinations and Patent Pending :)

I like the last one. Then again I named one of mine "Space Opera" 'cause I couldn't think of anything else.

Otherwise I like Time for Tea. Or I'd probably just call it Tea Time.
