This would work quite well for those who want to share their reading
but don't want to know what happens 200 pages down the road. Thanks
- I'll do this for sure and I'll be saving posts which are related
to pages beyond where I am.
BUT! It gets hard to keep the reply post references within the
limits of the first post when a bit more has been read. So we might
have to update numbers in the subject line page for every post that
extends the number of pages read. Or note them in the post with
some paragraph split and **SPOILER** notes when we go further than
the pages noted in the subject line.
Actually, I'm not terribly worried about spoilers unless we have a
"who-done-it" or other suspenseful situation (who will live and who
will die?) and the ending is revealed. Remember when the ending to
Blood Meridian was accidentally revealed?
my thoughts for now,
Bekah
