Ok I really like this game and also I need something to list what all the parody book titles are parodies of, because they are really funny when I do get the joke.
Thank you for the kind words :)
Most of the in-game books are references to fellow VN dev's games that were in production or recently released when we were making AWKI.
Unfortunately my original list has disappeared, but I can show the in-game list and you can try to figure out the ones I don't remember anymore.
In addition a few titles were submitted by backers, while "Sexy Man Man #5" is Jaime's own creation ;)

(Posting with the right account this time)
I was so pleasantly surprised and flattered when I came across "No Alternative Remedy" on one of my playthroughs!
Out of the ones you don't remember, I'm guessing "Sparrow Drue: Clover Counsel" was Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and both "When They Laugh" and "When Waterfowl Cry" sound like they could be references to Umineko.
