The Thirteenth Tale: General Thread

I thought I would go ahead and get a thread started for February's read of The Thirteenth Tale. I excited to be reading this one with a group.

Do we want to structure the chapters by weeks? Or just have spoiler/spoiler-free threads?

Thanks for starting the thread Victoria. I purchased my copy on the weekend so I am ready for February!

My preference, since you asked, is for a couple of threads structured by chapter. I like to post comments as I read through the book - and ask questions when I don't quite get something - without having to discover the ending when I am not there yet. I would suggest leaving this thread as the general spoiler-free thread and then have two or three spoiler threads for everyone as they work their way through the book.

I am flexible to what the rest of the group decides.

I, too, have my copy and can't wait to dig in. I agree with Lori about having chapter threads for discussion as we go.

I just ordered my copy today and I would also like to have separate threads.

I count 52 chapters.... how many spoiler threads do we want? 26 chapters each, for 2 threads or 13 chapters each, for 4 threads?

Good question. I went and looked through my copy and just noticed that the book is divided into three sections - Beginnings, Middles, and Endings - so how about we have three spoiler threads, one for each of the sections?

That would work fine for me.

Sounds good to me, too.

Have fun with the group read. I read the book over the weekend and absolutely loved it. I hope you will too!

I read this book in December and enjoyed it. It is one of my book group's choices for 2011. Will be interesting to see what others think of it.

Here are the threads I set up:

Excellent and perfectly timed Victoria.... I will be starting The Thirteenth Tale this evening!

This is the next book on my list...starting it tonight :)

Found some thought-provoking discussion questions for this book ... http://bestsellers.about.com/od/bookclubquestions/a/ThirteenthTaleq.htm

I haven't had as much time this week to read The Thirteenth Tale - work has been busy and my brother surprised me - happily! - by being in town this week on business. I will be back in reading mode tomorrow and commenting in the spoiler threads over the weekend.
