The All-New Book Club - Page 4

Yes, you did. Just wondered how far we could push that.

Seriously, I'm really enjoying the idea of themes rather than genres. This is going to be fun!

As far as I'm concerned, it's freedom hall. Let's just read some good books and have fun.

(If not, I'll wait till we have a theme it fits in, not an issue. Just asking how broadly we're interpreting this.)

You can bet I was going to bust out a rainbow flag nomination even if no one else did

I think you're going to like this one, astrangerhere.

Meanwhile, thinking of colours that are also other things, such as flame and rose. (And yes, I am deliberately pushing the boundaries of the themes.)

Even without pushing the boundaries I am surprised how many books I have read or are on my TBR that work for these themes. Over 20 in each and almost 90 for "the book came first".

I'm finding the same thing. Lot's of choices, some old favourites, others sitting in my TBR.

Looking through my TBR and wish lists, I’m finding lots of theme-appropriate books!

I’ve been desperately trying to think of a name for the book club, but can’t think of anything I want to suggest.

I like The New Leaf though, since a leaf isn’t just a leaf from a tree. It’s thin. And there’s metal leaf (silver, gold etc) used in crafts (creativity and metal), and the hinged part of a door is also called a leaf (the opening of a book/device cover) and leaf can also be a part of a window.

So there is a fun word play, and it incorporates thinness, metal and glass, and the protective flap, on our e-readers

and the association of a window also reminds me of looking through the window to see new things

I doubt it. I just happen to have good records that I can sort and filter quickly. I'm sure others have way more than I do.

And most of those wouldn't be great discussions, there are a couple though....

Less than a day to go for nominations for the new book club's new name.

JSWolf · 12-15-2017, 03:55 PM

I have yet another name.

So what happens when it's too old to be called new?

Dazrin · 12-15-2017, 06:54 PM

According to the nominations next March It's All Relative anyway and new is certainly relative.

I suggest Pages & Perspectives.
