So, one book in to my adventure and I feel I need to have a bit more structure. Seems appropriate that I use King's first successfully published novel, which was still pretty raw, to go through the raw phase of this blog.
Going forward, with each book, I will do a preview post. I'm trying to avoid any spoilers about any of the books before I read. I'm not reading liner notes, book covers or anything. So, if I happen to know anything about the book, or think I know anything, I'll mention it. If I don't know anything about the book at all, I may speculate or have a bit of fun with it.
Then, during the read, I'll give my thoughts in process. I'll react to certain parts, but I'll be painting these posts in broad strokes. I will probably avoid huge plot recaps during these posts.
Finally, when I'm done with the book, I'll do a review. It's at that point that I'll do a plot synopsis and try to do a more formal writeup/review of the story.
I may sprinkle in a few surprises along the way but that's enough structure for me at the moment.
