Who's in to play? So the idea is there's a given theme and then each post lists the next letter of the alphabet with a word starting with that letter
Example:
Theme: Literature
- next post
A is for Audiobook (or Douglas Adams)
- next post
B is for Book
- next post
C is for Albert Camus
- next post
D is for Fyodor Dostoevsky
- next post
E is for Editor
etc etc ... what say you?

X is for Xaviera Hollander.
When I was 17, one of the older girls at work had a book called “The Happy Hooker” being gently reared and well brought up, I had not heard that word before and asked “what is a hooker”? I was told the answer. Ah hmm, yes well, I didn’t know where to look, but as is when one has suddenly come into contact with something one shouldn’t, my appetite was whet and I asked to read the book. The answer was sure, I’ll put your name on the list. When my turn came around, it was given with the proviso, don’t get caught, don’t let your parents see it. It was covered in brown paper.

Y is for "Young Adult" (a publication category)

Which theme should we use next?
