Alma (Diary of a Booklover)’s comments from the Winter Re-Read-a-thon group.

I take it back, I think the poll for the logo should be up maybe tommorow because it bugs me that this group don't have any logo. Plus, we need to start spreading word as soon as possible.

I don't know... I personally can't do a giveaway because I'm not old enough, but if the other hosts can, then it is encouraged

That's a really good point."

Well... The thing is, I feel like those two weeks are going to be busy for a lot of us, because of Christmas and vacation. And while two weeks is plenty, I think we need that much time to actually read a lot. What do you guys think?

That's an awesome idea! Well, we'll have to wait until next sunday because I know some people who are making the logo right now and that's when we'll vote on it :D

For the people who wants to make a logo for it, feel free to upload it by next sunday when we will take a vote on which one should be the actual logo. It would also be great if you invite your friends to this group :D

That was my main idea :)

Jayne wrote: "When will you have the hosts decided?"

Well, since we have a lot of time before the actual readathon, I'm going to let people sign up, but it's a first come first serve, so...

Adrienne wrote: "That's true too. Or people would be able to participate on the weeks they can."

The challenges, again, are up to the hosts.

Jayne wrote: "How often are hosts going to host? Will they have one day where they host or two days in a row or it goes through a cycle type thing? I know that sounds confusing and I ask a lot of questions. I ju..."

That will have to depend on how many people are interested in in being a host

This is where you ask questions, give some advice to mkae this readathon better, and other things like that :)

Jayne wrote: "You could simply call it "organization". I think it kind of depends what you are organizing if that makes sense."

Oh, thanks!

Jayne wrote: "Should the hosts become moderators or no?

Also, we should start a thread for organisational type things"

I was going, to, but I'm not sure what to call it.

If you are interested in being a host, please comment bellow!

Since there isn't a set date for this readathon, I decided to start a discussion of when it actually should be. The top pick is December 22 - January 2, but discuss away!
