I just subscribed. I am adamant about not reading spoilers so I’ve been resisting subscribing as I knew I’d want to read all your past postings but now that I’ve finished the book for the first time, I’m ready! I look forward to rereading/reviewing as I agree with you on many points and want to see more closely how the characters are threaded in the story. I was going to see the movie as I was really curious how the heck it was going to be done (again I resisted teasers/trailers/reviews) but just from review headlines I got the gist. So decided to pass. Glad I did. I loved (was amazed) how Catherine’s pregnancy was described in a two line paragraph I had to read three times to get what was happening and she was I forget how many months along and no mention of it. Ok I’m not saying anything you don’t know. Thanks for the comment space and for all your postings. Sorry for the uncredited work, people are unbelievable. Oh and thanks for making your footnotes clickable. That is so helpful to read while reading text. Done now.
Thanks so much for subscribing, Matt! I hope you enjoy the read-along content--feel free to comment on old posts (I'm not entirely certain if I will get notifications-but I *think* I will!).
Oh my yes...the movie. Well, I too am glad I passed on seeing it. After the reviews came out I learned it was really nothing more than silly--not as graphic and outrageous as all the hype promised--but I am still glad I did not waste time or money seeing it.
Isn't that simple short recognition of Catherine's pregnancy well-written? It's so subtle!
And about footnotes...you can count on me for lots of footnotes. In a browser you can just hover over the numeral and a little window will pop up with the text. I love that feature! I'm not sure how it works on phones--but you can always hover or click in a browser. ♡
I'm so sorry to hear that your incredible work and devotion has been shared uncredited. I'm here for the path and the damp corner of the forest!
These are a few of my favorite things aka yes! yes! to #8 in the cornucopia: "chaotic cornucopia of citations....use of italics and erratic, devil-may-care commas....brazen misuse of the ellipsis."
Yea, mind blown on why anyone hosts a reading group and doesn’t want to create their own content to accompany it. :(
I’m looking forward to both continuing to bump into my readers along the sunny path and sitting on a mossy stone wall, communing with you and others in a damp corner of the forest. ♡

Happy March and golden threading/spreadsheeting!
