Kindle/Calibre, adding a one line description to the titles.

The house is being neglected because obviously tidying up my book list is far more important.

Is it madness or just amusing to add one line descriptions to the titles in Calibre so they show up when imported to the Kindle.
I'm tired of thinking 'what do I feel like next' then finding that particular novel involves dragons/misery/romance when I'm just not in that mood. The trend for almost meaningless titles does not help with differentiation.

So

The Slap:Novel 2008 What happens when Aussie gay writes about straight sex.

LOTR Two Towers :Novel 1954 Endurance walk & read with hairy feet & no blisters

Little Princes: Biog. One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal

or should I just get on and clean my dishwasher door seals....

I didn't realise you could add descriptions!

I agree - I find it's very annoying when I can't remember what the novel was about until I'm a few pages in.

I've just tagged it on to the descriptions. Then if the 'title' is too long it fits in what it can then when you move the highlighter down it shows the rest of the description in little letters underneath.
