Okay so this is something that I've been curious about for a while. How do you, personally, capitalise GONE when you're writing about it? Do you have all the book titles in capitals, or do you write it 'normally' (ie Gone, Hunger, Lies, etc). Are there any reasons behind why you do this? Or is it just something you've never really thought about?

Personally, I use all-caps for GONE as a series-whole, and then 'normal' typing for the individual books. To me, at least, it helps differentiate between Gone the book and GONE the series.

So that's what I do. What about you guys?

I just write 'Gone', because it's the name of a book and therefore a proper noun, that's all.

I use all caps most the time to distinguish the difference between book to series. Like if I were to email someone saying to read the first book I would just say: Hey you should read Gone by Micheal Grant.
But if I wanted them to read the whole series I would say: Hey you should check out the GONE series by Micheal Grant.

I use all caps for everything.
"Hey, you should read the GONE series."
"I did a book report on HUNGER by Michael Grant."

I use capitals when referring to the whole series because capitals are awesome :) and I wouldn't tell someone to read just the first book, I'd reccomend the whole series
