The Word Cloud Book: The Real Art of Words | W. Nurmela

Okay, so I‘m adding things to my wish list and (trying really hard) to get my shopping cart/plan in order for when I get paid. I‘m torn between Word Cloud Editions and B&N Collectable Editions on several books. I know you guys will be able to help me pick the right one.

Butterfinger Tough choice. 3y

GingerAntics @Butterfinger right? I‘m glad it‘s not just me. 3y

Butterfinger I'm leaning toward Word Cloud because the concept is so different, but the Barnes and Noble's covers are so pretty. 3y

GingerAntics @Butterfinger Call of the Wild in the world cloud has other stories in it as well. I can‘t tell if those are also in the B&N. Plus the thought of holding those soft leather covers while I read is lovely, but like you said, the B&an are so pretty. I have one of those already, too. 3y

Hooked_on_books Aesthetically, I do think the B&N editions are better, but the WCC are so nice to hold while reading. I would say that if you intend to collect more from one set or the other to go that way, but if not then decide if you‘d rather have pretty or nice to hold. 3y

GingerAntics @Hooked_on_books I hadn‘t thought that way. That‘s good thinking. I was, for some reason that seems illogical or silly now, thinking that the insides might be different. The WCC are nicer for reading I would think, but also 2 whole pennies cheaper. 😂 3y

TheBookHippie 🤣🤣🤣me everyday I JUST did this with Mansfield Park! I got WORDCLOUD because of reading but if collecting I‘d get the other 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ 3y

Jilly6183 I like both ideas but the second one appeals to me more. I love learning more about about a story/MC through the different perspectives of other characters 5y

GingerAntics @Jilly6183 that's the one I'm leaning toward for that reason...I keep wavering because I'm not sure if it's too out there. 5y

Jilly6183 @GingerAntics I don't think it's too out there at all. I think it's really intriguing! 5y

GingerAntics @Jilly6183 in glad it makes sense to someone else. That makes me feel better. I kept talking myself out of that option. 5y

LibrarianRyan I think it would be interesting to do the side stories first, then the MC story. So it hints around what‘s going on, and it‘s reveled at the end. 5y

GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan hm...That's an interesting thought. I hadn't thought of that at all. Great, now I'm back to two choices again. lol Must consider this. 5y

GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan I'm organising the short stories and I'm looking at this. Your idea could be genius!!! You would see that the MC has disowned himself, but you'd have no idea WHY until later. Hm. I rather like this idea. I knew asking you geniuses would be a good idea!!! What do you think of flip flopping the order, @Jilly6183? 5y

LibrarianRyan @GingerAntics ⭐️🌟😃 5y

GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan @Jilly6183 giving my stories titles is always the hardest part for me. Often times the story is long since finished being written when I finally find the right title...but I think I've found it. If I do it this way with the story all sort of disjointed and not getting the full picture at once, I could all it "It All Fell Apart" or "Putting the Pieces Back Together" or "Rebuilding" and it fits the story and the format. (edited) 5y

twohectobooks My preference would be chronological. But then I am the type of reader who tends to skip appendices on the basis of the assumption that if the author wanted me to know the information they‘d find a way to include it in the main text. Not sure how common that is! 5y

Jilly6183 @GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan That's a really cool idea, too! IMO, there just needs to be some kind of reveal that makes reading the second half interesting and relevant. So either the secondary characters reveal something you couldn't get from the MC's story, or you get a story from the secondary characters and then the MC reveals the missing link (e.g., why he disowned himself). 5y

GingerAntics @twohectobooks really? Sometimes the best little tidbits are in the appendix because with the constraints of POV something couldn't have been known in the main text. I'm also used to reading the appendix in nonfiction so it's totally natural for me. lol Nothing would really be an appendix anyway. It's all part of the full picture as it were. They're like the bonus features on the dvd, just before the actual story. lol (edited) 5y

GingerAntics @Jilly6183 there would be several missing links, because other than a few places (that wouldn't answer any real questions) no part of the story proper is going to end up being told by secondary characters. That second half does need to be worth reading, and that's what makes me a little concerned with doing it that way. (edited) 5y

twohectobooks Yep, like I said, I‘m not sure how common this approach is. I‘m quite an impatient/lazy reader, apparently! I also find it funny that I‘m making this comment while reading House of Leaves for the second time, a book that‘s built on fully exploring a multitude of footnotes and appendices. Which I LOVE haha. 5y

GingerAntics @twohectobooks ROTFL I used to be that way until high school when my friends and I were all reading this book we loved. They were all taking about something and I had no idea what they were talking about. They promptly sent me back to the epilogue and appendix and I figured it out. lol 5y
