I think we are straying from the topic, or rather, getting bogged down in detail.
How about a theme around water, so it could include a book like Gavin Maxwell’s Ring of Bright Water, or books about the sea, of which there are a great many, or even Like Water for Chocolate. |

New Leaf Book Club • Theme Suggestion Thread
An idea just struck me that seems rather good, but how do you feel?
Books Downloaded to my Pink Kindle These could be books such as the novel, Ellery Queen vs Jack the Ripper: A Study in Terror by Ellery Queen (pseudonym of Frederic Dannay and Manfred Lee), in which Inspector Queen finds an old unpublished manuscript by Dr. John Watson detailing Sherlock Holmes' seemingly unsuccessful pursuit of the famous London murderer and takes on his own investigation. An alternate title could be: "Pink Kindle: Books written by Authors in an Alternative Universe after their Counterparts Here Died". Not very pithy, but I'm sure we could come up with something. |

The idea of supporting one Reader over another in the book club is not a good one. So please dump the idea of a pink Kindle because it's just not a good idea.

"Alternate history" fits. I quite like Parallel lives as a theme. But, you could pick a book about a gymnast that does the parallel bars.
