Discussion Guidelines
Everybody should feel free to post and ask questionsâitâs what makes book clubs fun! But please do not post until you are familiar with Spoiler Courtesy!
Spoiler Courtesy
Please follow these rules to avoid inadvertent ăăżăăŹ. If youâre unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.
- Any potential spoiler for the current weekâs reading need only be covered by a spoiler tag. Predictions and conjecture made by somebody who has not read ahead still falls into this category.
- Any potential spoilers for external sources need to be covered by a spoiler tag and include a label (outside of the spoiler tag) of what might be spoiled. These include but are not limited to: other book club picks, other books, games, movies, anime, etc. I recommend also tagging the severity of the spoiler (for example, I may still look at minor spoilers for something that I donât intend to read soon).
- Any information from later in the book than the current weekâs reading (including trigger warnings that havenât yet manifested) needs to be hidden by spoiler tags and labeled as coming from later sections.
Instructions for Spoiler Tags
Click the cog above the text box and use either the âHide Detailsâ or âBlur Spoilerâ options. The text which says âThis text will be hiddenâ should be replaced with what you are wishing to write. In the case of âHide Detailsâ, the section in the brackets that is labelled âSummaryâ can be replaced with whatever you like also (i.e, [details=âChapter 1, Pg. 1â]).
Hide Details results in the dropdown box like below:
Example
This is an example of the âHide Detailsâ option.
The âBlur Spoilerâ option will simply blur the text it surrounds.

Posting Advice
-
When asking for help, please mention the page number, and check before posting that your question hasnât already been asked. As the threads get longer, it becomes more convenient to use the Search function, which is located in the upper right corner of the forum. It is the magnifying glass which is near your profile picture! The best way to search is usually to type part of the sentence you are confused about, and select âin this topicâ. This will show you all posts within the current thread which has that string of text.

Be sure to join the conversation! Itâs fun, and itâs what keeps these book clubs lively! Thereâs no such thing as a stupid question! We are all learning here, and if the question has crossed your mind, thereâs a very good chance it has crossed somebody elseâs also! Asking and answering questions is a great learning opportunity for everyone involved, so never hesitate to do so!
