The Title

I have a decision to make, the most important at the outset of a blog: the title.  I'm not good with titles.  I usually have an easy time coming up with content but titles stump me.  So I enlisted the help of my husband.  And now I need your help to decide which of the following two should be the winner.

My husband came up with Scribed, among others, and I really like it.  A scribe in ancient times was usually a person who copied text but in this case I would use the more modern meaning which includes various forms of writing, or anyone who writes.  I like that it has a more ancient feel to it and lends itself perfectly to using great looking ancient books as a header picture.

In some more searching I also came up with Maven, which is a Yiddish word meaning accumulator of knowledge.  I love the word itself, I like that it's a foreign word and I think the definition suits this particular blog perfectly, as I'm starting this up mainly as a book review blog,  but also to impart tidbits I learn from life in general as I'm living it.

Which title, Scribed or Maven, would you choose and why?
