The problem with having the concept before the tricky title is that (I think) that is where you are getting ideas that seem more like genres and the categories of other clubs. One of the neat/cute/amusing aspects of the whimsical titles is working out just how they can be interpreted. (Like the "Rainbow of reading" theme.)

Sure, if we want a particularly tight theme then be a bit less whimsical. "The book came first" was, I thought, a nice half-way mark (the right sound but also gave more precision as was desired).

I like June's Not Lost In Translation - for me this has that same sort of half-way mark sound as "The Book Came First": precision with style.


I'm not keen on the blunt war or revenge themes, but will of course go with the flow if that's what others want to see.
