Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

I stole another game idea, this time from the Games! group.

The first person asks a question relating to a book, starting with Who, What, When, Where, Why, or How. The next person answers that question and posts a question of one's own. Please don’t include spoilers, even for books that have been around a long time. Here we go!

What is the name of Elizabeth Bennett's youngest sister in Pride and Prejudice?

(I feel like I should totally know this!)

Lydia Bennett

Next: Who is Anne Shirley's bosom friend in Anne of Green Gables?

Diana Barry

Who does Jo March marry in Little Women?

Professor Bhaer

Who is the villain in A Little Princess?

Miss Minchin

What was the name of Marty Davis's stepdaughter in Love Comes Softly?

I added something to the instructions: Please don’t include spoilers. I wouldn’t want anyone to get upset because a question or answer included a spoiler for a book they’re wanting to read.

*gulp* Sorry, didn't think of that!

Just so you know, nobody’s post prompted me to think about that.

I was noticing how easily spoilers would pop up in something like this.

Marty's stepdaughter is Melissa called Missy

(So far, only "classic"
novels have been referenced, meaning that there are no spoilers. But I could see how it could happen.)

So, what are the two cities in Charles Dickens' novel A Tale of Two Cities?

So, should I delete this game and post another? Or should we continue and see how it goes? Now that there's a warning, maybe there won't be a problem.

They could still be spoilers if the person hasn't read the book or seen the movie/TV show based on it and doesn't know much about the story. There are lots of old books on my to-read list which I don't know much of anything about. If I were to see details like who married whom or who got killed, those would be spoilers to me.

Alegna, I agree on classics being able to be spoiled. I've had that issue in the past, actually.

It's up to you if you want to start the thread over. If you do, let me know here, and I'll delete this one.

You and I are still learning the ins and outs of these games threads. :)
