This *REDACTED* Will Not *REDACT* Me

Blog, Fun, Maggie POST A COMMENT by

The Facebook fan group recently had a lot of fun speculating over the possible title of the second Maggie the Undying book.

Ilona confirmed in the comments that the title will follow this format:

This REDACTED Will Not REDACTED Me

Two blanks to fill and one challenge for the blog comment section!

Leave your title ideas in the comments. Serious guesses, ridiculous guesses, ominous guesses, ideas that would make Steve proud and the editors concerned – all are welcome in the comments.

This is Only a Horde Game

House Andrews and Tor, the publishers, have decided the actual title through official publishing processes. It will be announced publicly at the right time. Nothing suggested here will become the title because it attracts the most chalant support or is repeatedly submitted in ALL CAPS. Ahem.

But even if we don’t get to name the book, we are still padding our Horde marketing CV! Before the final Hidden Legacy title was announced as Ruby Fever, we knew it would follow the gemstone + fire word formula. The BDH rose magnificently to the guess challenge and produced such enduring classical suggestions as:

  • Pearlescent Phlogiston
  • Turquoise Twinkles
  • Chrysoberyl Conflagration
  • Lapis Lazispalooza

Shockingly, none of these has been claimed by another author yet, but we’ll keep trying. Interested publishing professionals may contact the Horde through its official accounts. Serious offers and mango cupcakes-based royalties only.

In the meantime, give us your best suggestions for Maggie 2!

  1. This kingdom will kill one too many
    This place will go too far
    This kingdom will not overcome me

  3. This Sandwich Will Not Best Me
    This Human Will Not Pet Me
    This Laundry Will Not Defeat Me
    This Warlord Will Not Wed Me

    (I was feeling silly with mine)

  4. This stelka will not feed me

    (although I still like my earlier idea that doesn’t fit the criteria of
    This World Might Kick My Arse)

  5. This Magic Will Not Master Me

    This Future Will Not Fail Me

    and to her suitors:
    This War Will Not Win Me

  6. Such fun ideas in the comments, I wish I was as creative!

    I hope the writing of the last scenes of Maggie 2 goes well, Ilona said that they are difficult scenes so I hope it will not be too draining on House Andrews.

  9. I do like “This Fire Will Not Burn Me” because there is a lot of fire (Fatefire, Enduring Flame, regular old fire, romantic fire), and burn can have multiple meanings too.
    Or “This Plot Will Not Defeat Me”?
    Now I will be thinking about this until the title is announced!

  15. This book will not relase me
    This book will not capture me
    This author will not kill me

  18. This Duke Will Not Seduce Me

    This Everard Will Not Disrobe Me

    This Author Will Not Cliffhang Me (AGAIN)

  19. This Empire Will Not Conquer Me

    Given the hints about the Crimson Empire and snippets about Maggie gong on campaign…

  25. Thinking of Maggies reaction to not being able to change things in the way she wants or expects 🙂

    –> This plot twist will not annoy me …

    😉

    • Ok, I know, wrong series. But hey it’s very hot in Germany at the moment, my brain is fried.

  28. I was thinking

    This Book will not Devour Me (for the Horde! Long may we devour!)
    This Life will not Terminate Me
    This Author will not Outwit Me ( damn you LaTour)

    And
    This Family will not Filet Me

  29. The End will not End me.

    ???
    I was confused. One word doesn’t need to fill both blanks!??

    Excited for the book to come out!

  32. This Dursan Will Not Dump Me.

    This Mage Will Not Desintegrate Me.

    This Charmer Will Not Marry Me.

  34. Already so many good title guesses.

    My current life is “this cliffhanger will not defeat me” as I wait for Book #2.

  38. This Drezmur Will Not Eat Me
    This Stelka Will Not Bite Me
    This Lost Prince Will Not Charm Me
    This Sambocade Will Not Tempt Me

  41. This Fandom Will Not Fail Me? (This could be Maggie 3 actually.)

    And I second the “This Magic Will Not Bite Me” or “This Fire Will Not Burn Me” from above!
    That would be a really funny way to nod to other HA series 🙂

  44. One more try:

    Maggie 1: “This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me” – both words start with “K”.
    Maggie 2: “This Magic Will Not Miss/Mess Me” – both words start with “M”.
    Maggie 3: “This Fandom Will Not Fail Me” – both words start with “F”.

    Lots of fun, Mod R, thank you!

  46. This Barsa Will Not Barsa Me!

    This Horde Will Not Abandon Me!

    This Scummy Monarchy Will Not Give Me a License to Make Soap!

  47. This Scathefire Will Not Perantique Me
    This Gadzookery Will Not Tremefy Me
    This Confabulation Will Not Stigmatize Me
    This Dragon Will Not Immolate MeBi

  48. This Rock Will Not Flatten Me
    (I think there was a short snippet with Maggie dodging falling rocks on a battlefield)

    Is it a given that whatever is said not to happen in the title will actually happen (repeatedly)?

    This Horse Will Not Throw Me

    This Family Will Not Spoil Me

  50. I know I already commented but thinking about alliteration

    This realm will not release me

  57. It’s blog posts like this that make me so happy to have found you guys. I love the Hoarde, I love the authors, I love Mod R. I don’t know if I have to take an initiation test to become part of the Hoarde? I couldn’t answer the crossword puzzle because I have only read all their books once and I don’t remember names and places lol. Can I be allowed in anyway??

    • You love the books, the authors, and Mod R. You are already part of the Book Devouring Horde (BDH), woohoo! For the horde!

  60. “This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me Again”?

    “One Death Too Many”?

    “No One Said There Were Monsters” ?

    “The Wheels Are Off This Sequel”?

  61. This Future Will Not Fail Me
    This Dark Will Not Defeat Me
    This Battle Will Not Break Me
    This Fate Will Not Forsake Me

    And on the funnier side:
    This Realm Will Not Return Me
    This Story Will Not Skip Me
    This B******t Will Not Break Me (I think this is something Maggie would definitely say)

  62. I just found the kitty cat in the Shop Video for the bellen thingy. So in Honorar of that:

    This kitty will noch sway me!

    • I mean the „vellum“ thingy and in „honour“ of that… thank you very much auto correct. That was not helpful 😂

  64. This is my PASSIONATE plea for ….. Turquoise Twinkles …..

    It’s absurd, it’s hilarious, it’s wonderful. I know it won’t happen, but I WANT IT!
    Cackling off to go make breakfast now…

  65. This soap will not clean me
    This magic will not claim me
    This world will not end me
    This story will not write me
    This villain will not beat me

  66. This Bastion Will Not Break Me. Alliteration wins every time!

    I could also go with This Realm Will Not Wreck Me, but it doesn’t have the same vibe lol.

  68. Book 2: This Romance Will Not Trap Me
    (we know what happens)

    Book 3: This Kingdom Will Not Keep Me
    (in which Maggie gets the chance to go home and decides to stay instead)

  69. This Power Will Not Corrupt Me
    I think we’ve had a lot of hints that Maggie is full of magic and that she’ll need to learn to use it.
    I find myself uncertain about what her end game should be. Obviously, she’s trying to save Rellas, but is she ultimately trying to get back home? It makes it hard for me to know how hard I should be shipping her with Everard.
    (This Heat Will Not Stroke Me)

  73. I have a few: This World Will Not Keep Me; This Kingdom Will Not Defeat Me; This Book Will Not Write Me; This Plot Will Not Change Me; This House Will Not Usher Me… That’s all folks

  78. This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me also had the alliteration, so I wonder if they will try to stick with that.

    This Empire will not End me

    This Realm will not [W]reck me

    This Battle will not Break me

  83. I have no title to contribute but wanted to say that it’s so fun to read the titles. I’m loving the creativity and humor of the BDH!

  85. 😆 Horde husband said, “This Book Naming Game Will Not Kill me”.
    That man is perceptive, he’s the best Horde support husband.

  91. So I looked at all the titles of other series. Given the meter of the original title, I suspect the second book will follow the same metrical format.

    So my guess is: This Magick Will Not Own Me

  96. A couple of people (I can’t find them again) said “This Kingdom Will Not Defeat Me.” I third that title! It speaks to Maggie’s determination to transform the timeline even though she feels like the timeline fights back.

  97. This World Will Not Lose Me.
    This Kingdom Will Not Keep Me.

    I worry about her return home. The story is so consuming, with so many immediate struggles, that you almost forget she’ll eventually have to face going back.

    • Yes! My idea was “This Story Will Not Keep Me” for the same reason. But it seems unlikely, I don’t think Maggie will go home. Which is why I like your first one.

      What do you think about “This Family Will not Lose Me?” It’s more open ended – you don’t know which Family is meant. And I have a feeling the second book will be more about Maggie finding herself, her magic, and establishing her place in the world with her family, so she is on the same footing as Everard when the third book comes around. Similar to how Nevada needed to find a place for herself and her family in Hidden Legacy before she could build something with Rogan.

  98. This Alliteration Will Not Amuse Me.

    and of course this failed as I am well amused.

    Thanks Horde!
