This is the marginalia post for Coraline by Neil Gaiman. PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS for anything that might spoil the story for a reader who isn't as far into the book as you are. If you're unsure of what constitutes a spoiler, visit /please_no_more_spoilers/.

If this is your first r/bookclub read, or if you're unfamiliar with what marginalia is, read this explanation below!

This post is a place for you to put your marginalia. Scribbles, comments, glosses (annotations), critiques, doodles, illuminations, or links to related - none discussion worthy - material. Anything of significance you happen across as we read. As such this is likely to contain spoilers from other users reading further ahead in the novel. We prefer, of course, that it is hidden or at least marked (massive spoilers/spoilers from chapter 10...you get the idea).

• Marginalia are your observations. They don't need to be insightful or deep.
• Why marginalia when we have discussions? Sometimes its nice to just observe rather than over analyze a book.
• They are great to read back on after you have progressed further into the novel.
• Not everyone reads at the same pace and it is nice to have somewhere to comment on things here so you don't forget by the time the discussions come around.

MARGINALIA - How to post???
