Theme: Books that begin with the same letter(s) in your name.
(For example: With my name I can choose to have a book starting with T, O, R, and I and I will need to choose a second book that also starts with one of those letters. Or I could just read 5 books that start with the letter T. Or any combination of those. My list could turn out with 2 books that start with a "T", 2 books that start with an "R", and 1 book that starts with an "O".)
