Here are some more that I had thought of. If you see something here or earlier that you like feel free to take it and run with it. I haven't decided at all and will probably wait till near the end to formalize something.
Along similar lines to Ralph Sir Edward, I though an apocalyptic/dystopian theme might be interesting. But in an effort to not be genre constrained I was trying to make sure it included at least one other easy avenue for interpretation, in this case, climate change and other world-altering events/conditions. My initial theme was going to be "The Sky is Falling, the end of the world". It is still more constrained than I want but I could live with it. (And can't think of a way to fix it right now.)
"Puzzled and Bewildered, fun and games." I was mostly going to games and things related to puzzles but that could certainly include mysteries as well.
"Never Too Late, books we haven't gotten to (yet)". I find I am a very able procrastinator about some books, the idea for this was to get us to nominate some of those books we have heard of and though "I should try that... some day". Classics, nominations from last year, books we bought years ago and still haven't opened, etc.
"The Last Word, posthumously published". Any genre or style would fit as long as it was published after the primary author died.
"Popularity Contest, millions of readers can't be wrong". The idea was only books with a large number of GR reviews/ratings. Some of these are classics, some just happen to hit the zeitgeist for a particular year.
"Time on Our Hands, hobbies". The idea obviously is books about our hobbies, but with that title I figure it is open to a lot more if needed. This may not pass the third test I posted earlier though (complementary list).
"Naked and Afraid, watch out!". Horror and / or nudity but thrillers would also work.
