Ze History: The first working title I had for this book wwwwaaaaaaaayyyyyyy back when was France Bites but that was back when the original title of the first book was This Bites so obviously that doesn’t work any more and, quite frankly, was a little insulting towards the French… Then the title was going to be Sucks to Be Moi and that’s what the original prelude was put out under.
HOWEVER, since that has been out I’ve had people confused whether it was in fact the title of the third book OR if it was the first book translated into French (which it has been btw…but the title in French is actually Porquoi Moi?). Obviously that could be an issue if people don’t think it’s the third book when they see the title (and could also cause issues if the third book ever were to be translated into French…). For those reasons, I’m rather leaning towards the first one. But what do YOU think?
And There’s More!
Go here for a complete list of previous posts about Book Three, including the how and why, the schedule, and the questions I’ve posted so far. And please feel free to go back and comment on any past posts if you’ve missed a question!
P.S. Have you checked out my latest book yet? If you liked Sucks to Be Me, you’ll love Cat Girl’s Day Off!

First of all, I am SOOOOO excited that you’ve decided to make a third Mina book!
I really like the title Still Sucks to be Me, Even in Paris.
I can’t wait to hear more about the book!!!!
I like the sucks to be me, even in Paris. Or: even in Paris it sucks to be me. Either way I love that you are writing the third book.nit would be AWESOME if you put it actual book form so that way those that have already purchased the actual books will be able to complete the series instead of having some books here and the other one on a electronic device. I am a person who in order to read a book needs to have the physical thing plus it would be nice to have the physical thing so I can expand my library, which has pretty much all of you books that you have out.
I would love to do it in actual book form! Not sure yet if that will happen though. But stay tuned & sign up for the newsletter, etc. If I’m able to, you guys will be the first to know!
Yay!! So very excited!!!!!!
I like Still Sucks To Be Me, Even In Paris. But what about Still Really Sucks To Be Me?
Excited!!!
That would work too
I actually like the first suggestion and the second one . So maybe Sucks To Be Moi , Even In Paris ? Does that sound weird ? (:
I’ll add that up there!
number 1 or 2
Thank you!thank you!thank you for writting a third Mina book!!
Your such a great author… Don’t worry, i’ll also buy your other book Cat’s Girl day off because i beleive in your (really) funny books.
I like Sucks to be Moi BUT also like Suck to be me, even in Paris… Though i had an idea… What about Always sucks to be me or Even in Paris, it Sucks to be me… Oh well… Love you & your Work (if i didn’t already mention it!!)
Thanks! I really appreciate that! I hope you like Cat Girl! It was a LOT of fun to write.
Hello again!! When I saw your answer, I was like :”Wow!! She actually wrote back!!” I was soooo happy!!
So,I talked to my sisters about the third book and they gave another idea for the name… Maybe:” Still sucks to be me, even across the sea” What do you think? Oh well, I’m your #1 fan for life!!!
xxx Blanche
P.S. Yeah… My name is french so that kinda explains why I’m happy Mina’s going to France!! Though, I’m not from France, I’m from Canada!!
I like the idea of having some French in there (because I’m addicted to French and I will be visiting France soon.) so I like Still Sucks to be Moi, or maybe something like Still Sucks to be Moi, even in Paris.,, or something with moi in it because it’s cute and ties into the book. Everytime I talked about it to my little sister, I called it Still Sucks to be Moi.
This has made my summer! You are really the best and I just can’t get over how much you obviously care about your fans!
Thanks! We visited Paris last year and now I think I need to go again! Of course, it’s only a 2 hour train ride away now, so I have no excuse!
(And that’s why Mina is staying in Montmartre, because that’s where I stayed)
Oh la la! I had to take an 11 hour plane flight and then a long ride on the Chunnel! If its only a 2 hour train ride away, you should definetly visit again!
If tickets were cheaper, I would!
I am so excited that you are writing the third book. i like the title “Still Sucks To Be Me, Even In Paris” I love you. you are an awesome author. i am so excited to read the third book. YAYYY!!!!
Thanks, Hriju!
I am a fan of “Sucks to Be Moi”.
I am very pleased to see a third book too! Do you get to go to Paris now for “research” purposes?
But of course! I did actually go there last year for a few days. Maybe I need to go again…
I prefer “Sucks to be Me, Even in Paris.” I guess I’m all for dropping the word “Still” and not putting Me in French; something just does not set right about that with me; maybe it is the way it does not roll smoothly off the tongue.
Thanks for the feedback!
How about just: really sucks to be me
I like “Always Sucks to Be Me”. It still kind of goes with the other titles, but I also like “Sucks to be Moi” because it goes with the Paris theme. I can’t wait until this book comes out–I LOVED the first two!
Thanks!
I think it should be: sucks to be moi! It sounds frenchy & goes with all the others!
i would choose sucks to be me, help
Do you mean “Sucks to be me, Help”like title? Because for a second i thought it was just Sucks to be me and then you were asking for help (?!?). Sorry, Sometimes (almost all the time) I have a little bit to big of an imagination… Sorry!
yea i meant “Sucks To Be Me,Help!”
Oh ok!!
Can’t wait for the third book to come out!!!
Late comment but I think Sucks to be Moi III would be nice! Then people will know its the third with the nice french play on words.
■Mee suggests: Still Sucks to Be Moi, Even in Paris
i choose this one!!
the original is best because it goes with the title chain.
I think it should be Sucks to me Moi because it brings out the fact that their in Paris, France!
“Still Really Sucks To Be Me” really sticks with me. It goes with the previous titles, and leaves it open for another book. I wouldn’t object to “Still Really Sucks To Be Me, Even In Paris” but it might be a bit long, as I’m assuming it will also have ‘more all-true confessions of Mina Hamilton Smith, teen vampire’ attached to the end. But I understand with the translating into other languages how having ‘Moi’ instead of ‘Me’ would get a bit garbled or hard to show the difference between the two.
Either way, I am excited that this series is continuing and can’t wait for it to be out!
I might leave off the whole “more true-confessions” part as it is SO long. Not sure yet.
I really like:
Sucks to Be Moi, Even in Paris
Always Sucks to Be Me and
Sucks to Be Moi
And i am really happy u r writing another book from the sucks to me
I like Sucks to be Moi, and Always Sucks to be Me. You could also do Always Sucks to be Moi.
I was really sad when I found out that you weren’t going to write anouther book, because I really like the story! And I find it so amazing that you value the thoughts and ideas of your fans to incorporate it in the new book! That’s so creative! So I really like the name “Always Sucks To Be Moi” or “Will Always Suck To Be Moi”
Still sucks to be me, even in paris!!!
Still Sucks to Be Moi, meme a Paris…
I saw the title for this page and thought, “Sucks to be me, even in Paris” then I saw that was one of the options and was like “WHAAAAAT?” I love that title!
I’m really excited for the book. I think it should become a movie. Big Fan!!! ( :
