Vocabulary

Iā€™ve decided to use the original book club vocab sheet and keep adding to this.

Note as pointed out last volume, itā€™s not currently being updated, but Iā€™ll keep it here for reference.

Spy x Family vocab sheet

Please read the guidelines on the first page before adding any words.

Discussion Guidelines

Everybody should feel free to post and ask questionsā€“itā€™s 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 惍ć‚æ惐惬. If youā€™re unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.

  1. Any potential spoiler for the current weekā€™s 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.
  2. 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 donā€™t intend to read soon).
  3. Any information from later in the book than the current weekā€™s reading (including trigger warnings that havenā€™t 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 ā€œHide Detailsā€ or ā€œBlur Spoilerā€ options. The text which says ā€œThis text will be hiddenā€ should be replaced with what you are wishing to write. In the case of ā€œHide Detailsā€, the section in the brackets that is labelled ā€œSummaryā€ can be replaced with whatever you like also (i.e, [details=ā€Chapter 1, Pg. 1ā€]).

Hide Details results in the dropdown box like below:

Example

This is an example of the ā€œHide Detailsā€ option.

The ā€œBlur Spoilerā€ option will simply blur the text it surrounds.

This is an example of the ā€œBlur Spoilerā€ option.

Posting Advice
  • When asking for help, please mention the page number, and check before posting that your question hasnā€™t 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 ā€œin this topicā€. This will show you all posts within the current thread which has that string of text.

  • Be sure to join the conversation! Itā€™s fun, and itā€™s what keeps these book clubs lively! Thereā€™s no such thing as a stupid question! We are all learning here, and if the question has crossed your mind, thereā€™s a very good chance it has crossed somebody elseā€™s also! Asking and answering questions is a great learning opportunity for everyone involved, so never hesitate to do so!

If necessary, include an explanation of any discrepancies in the Ebook page numbers from physical page numbers. If there is an easy shortcut for some ebook versions to relate back to physical page numbers, it would be worth it to include it as a third bullet here, or if you want to use chapter page numbers instead of volume page numbers, as is the case with some manga. For example:
Example

For the Kindle version of this manga, the page numbers and the location number are always 3 apart. If you subtract 3 from the location, this will give you the accurate page number!

OR

Please use the chapter page numbers, instead of the volume page numbers. These are located in between the panels!

Iā€™ve noticed we seem to have had a drop off in numbers with the new volume - do we need a break, or are people reading but not posting? Quite happy to fit in a short break to keep the club together.

Reading Mission 55 this week!

Loved this little chapter. It made a really nice contrast between the previous action-heavy chapters, while also emphasizing how it was all worth it for Yor.

I also really liked all the scenery and detailed drawings. The scene with Tasogare carrying both back to the boat was really cute.

I was a bit embarrassed for Anya at the start, but the punch line was stellar in this chapter:

Bond is the only sincere person in this room :joy:

And I was so tired last night I copy and pasted my tags from last week! But glad to hear youā€™re still with us. Let me know how you go - I can always stick a break in at the end of this volume as thereā€™s no short mission.

Sure! I have vol 10 in a CDJapan order that right now best guess at shipping date is ā€œlate October.ā€ Itā€™ll probably be fine, but if it ends up looking like it wonā€™t be arriving in time for the club to start reading it, Iā€™ll let you know. I shouldnā€™t have any problems catching up on this vol this week

This might have been my favorite chapter so far, so many funny moments


I love this gag with Beckyā€™s mind short circuiting and Anya trying to read the symbols


Beckyā€™s dog in the picture is hilarious
