Other ideas...

As when everything is going to be renamed except for the Hobbit, we'd read the titles as follows (in order of the Hobbit, LotR, New Shadow, Silmarillion, CoH)

The Hobbit
The Hobbits (with the subtitle "This Time, It's War!")
The Hobbit 3
The Hobbit -1
The Hobbit without the Hobbits

narfforc has been trapped in the Barrow!
We should have caught the Bus to Rivendell.

The first few chapters of LotRs could be called:

Stains, Pains and Autumnhobbles.

- The New Car
- The New House
- The New Hobbit?
- The News.
- The News at ten
- The New Barrow

Thumbs up

The Lord of the Rings:

- The Ring and it's friends

- Hobbits on the run

- Sauron's happy time goods

- The Return of the bads

- Gandalf's hat goes on an adventure. Also there is a ring involved.

- Mystical adventure about Rings and Lords and wars and all the stuff that was good in The Hobbit but bigger and better and this is a long title.

-

- A Hobbit, A Ring and a Whole world of trouble!

- Not the Three o'clock News.
