Shellbelle ’s comments from the Reading is my escape group.

Is anyone doing the Nomination threads? I can do them if not! I was just getting ready to add my links to everything in the Newsletter and I was going to add a link to Feb noms:)

Is there anything you gals want or think I need to add to the newsletter for this month?

Dawn, I'm working on the Newsletter now! I'm trying to get everything caught back up!

Kathy, I am the same way about being organized...and I agree having a bunch of inactive stuff bugs the hell out of me!

So how about when I do the newsletter I add something about inactive members just to get things started...sound okay?

Kathy I have heard of other groups doing this too and I really don't know how I feel about it. On one hand it seems harsh, and I think having high numbers might make other people more interested (at least that's something I used to look for when I checked out groups) and on the other hand really what is the point of them being members if they do not participate, right?!

Anyways my point is I really am good either way. I might send out a message about inactivity and trying to get people going again...see if that helps at all!

So with the new year starting I thought we might start up a few new challenges! Any one have some ideas for Mini challenges?! We would love some suggestions!

It's my turn for the NewsLetter right Dawn? I can have that up by tomorrow and I can do ANY thing else needed! I have some serious making up to do!!!

How is everyone doing lately?! Hope the Holidays are going well for everyone:)

Just wondering what jobs we have planned out for the new year...I am going to do a new yearly challenge and maybe a couple of new threads but I just want to make sure to do the regulars too!

Okay no problem...I might try and find it...do you remember who was nominated? I guess we could just have them be our winner:)

I have the Winner Threads up...did we not have a poll for Member of the Month? I didn't see one so I didn't set up a thread:)

Alana next week will be fine, but let me know if you just want me to do it, I owe you all big time for covering my slack!!!

Yuck, Alana! Don't work to hard!!!

Okay so I'm doing the winner threads today correct?

Hahaha, Kathy, that is a good possibility! lol

No problem Dawn...I'm still struggling with my flippin internet (it has thrown me off 3 times today already) but I'm just going to start going to our lib if I have to. I'm done with not having internet access.

I will do the Winners Threads!

Dawn I can do Dec Newsletter since you did Nov (and I was supposed to do it) And it will also help me let everyone know I am back! lol jUst let me know:)

Okay ladies...I am not dead! lol but my internet seems to be!!!! We have had the worse time since our move and just when I think that it is up and going and I start getting caught up it craps out again. We are changing services (AGAIN!) and I will be taking the next couple of days to get caught up on everything!!! I can't tell you how sorry I am that I have left this to you all... I have 1700 emails so it's going to take me a day or two to get all caught up but I can jump in full force for everything next month!

It is really intense actually... especially since we love these characters and it's difficult subject matter anyways...but just push through because Briggs writes some really amazing characters and it will make you love the books more watching them come through it!

Just keep reading them! You'll like the outcome! I still haven't read the entire 6th book, but I like where everything is heading!

Jen do you want to start the thread? I can get it up if you want☺ And who is Kristen Ashley?!
