What's there in a name

Well I'm almost done writing the book,  working on the editing and my book still doesn't have a name! I brainstorm alone,  dearly missing my sisters, as they are off to college and work respectively. I want to keep it simple, at the same time,  explaining what the book has in store. It's simplifying, demystifying the Dental sciences. It is about loads of techniques and tricks to remember just about anything. All those arteries, syndromes,  authors,  theories,  drug dosages,  important years,  just name it. Yes please,  name it,  name my book,  lol! 
Here's a list of the names that popped up in my mind:

Dental treats 
Dental trick or treat 
Dentistry simplified
Dentistry made easy
Dentistry tricks treats and techniques
Short guide to remembering Dental Sciences
Day-dream your way to dental exams
Dentistry for the procrastinator
Dentistry for day-dreamers
Dental sciences for the day dreamer


Tell me what you think,  you could even suggest a few! 
Thanks!

Behind the pages of my book

When I’d first considered sharing the way I passed dental college with my peers and making studies easy and fun for them too, little did I know what I was getting into. Writing a book is not just jotting down the idea or the views, but the editing, the cover, the illustrations, the printing and the marketing. Man! Nobody taught me that in college!
So I’m almost done with the writing and start working on the book name when I realize I still haven’t found an illustrator willing to understand what I exactly want for my book. Finally I do meet a good illustrator who tells me my rough explanatory sketches are good to go and I should trust my doodles! Me? The illustrator for my book? Ummm… scary, but no harm trying.
So I’ve been doodling and drawing and I’m going to show you all, the behind-the-book drawings. 











Yes, they are funny cartoons but what are they doing in a dental book? Well, you are about to find out once you get a copy. Most active 50 followers will be posted free copies!
