I won't confess as to which way I was thinking. But as you say, either way works; even if I had not thought of one of the ways .

I got lost wondering about heavy metal, but for the phrase was thinking of The Tremeloes too though, I hadn't heard them for a while.

And we're on to choosing February's topic.

All ideas are appreciated; just post! We're very flexible with our monthly topic; it can be a topic, theme, category or whatever else. This can also be collaborative so any little kernel of an idea is great.

The floor is now open!

One new idea I've had is 'X'. This could lead a few directions. It could be something to do with x marking the spot, such as adventure, treasure seeking, finding some person, place or thing that is lost or hidden. It could also be something to do with x as a censor, such as books that were banned at some point or somewhere, books that were controversial, or plots having to do with books, people, society or whatnot being banned, jailed, repressed or censored for ideas. It could also be something to do with the Roman numeral meaning ten. It could also be something to do with an ex or exes. Or it could even be something to do with a title with a word beginning with an x, or if stretched even just an x somewhere in the title. There's a lot of possibilities with 'X'.

I threw this out there with the month coming up soon, and I'll be good with this, some other previously mentioned topic, or some other brand new idea.

You’ve really thought of a lot of options with that one!

Great job with the creative thinking!

+1 on my part for 'x'. First thought I had was 'x' as in the standard symbol for variables in maths, so I guess you could add something dealing with that, or mathematicians, logic, coherence/incoherence, etc... into the mix.

Thanks both of you and all right, X it is!

Also, welcome to the lit club ustou! The mathematics/logic possibilities for x is a great idea.

The nomination thread is up! I've added all the ideas given.

I also just thought while posting that, if you say the current year as 'twenty twenty' then if written in Roman numerals it would be completely made up of 'x'es lol- XX XX. So it must be meant to be to have this topic this year.

XXXX is an Australian beer brand too; maybe the beer of the year for XX XX?

Dos Equis, which means two X's, is a Mexican beer brand with symbol XX. So two bottles of Dos Equis would be XX XX and match 2020. I don't know whether Dos Equis plays a significant role in any books.

Well, no obviously beer-related books made it to the nominations, but those were clever finds too and beer companies seem to like X! I looked up some XXXX ads youtube and they're... different, lol. It's funny if you split that one in half you'd get 2020, while if you have two Dos Equis side by side you'd also get 2020.

I also just thought, so we mentioned XXXX and XX, and we conveniently ignored the amount of Xes in between and what it stands for. Probably for the best for the sake of our nominations. Although, it might've given me a good reason to nominate Tropic of Cancer...
