Thanks Joi!

I'm in!!! :D

Awesome Joi!! Just choose 5 books you want to add to the book pool :)

Thanks for all the nominations everyone :D I don't think there are any repeats, and I think all the books were added properly- but let me know if I did something wrong of if you want to switch one of your books before May 1!

There's still an entire week left for sign ups!

That's totally fine!!!! I'm excited for You Pick, I Pick again! And then we can make a SUPER awesome Book Bingo for June :D

I sadly don't. Worst comes to worst, we can just do Book Bingo in June and instead have the You Pick I Pick again!

That's not rude at all! Thanks for letting me know Jessica- my bad!!!!

Haha added all your picks! And that's hilarious Jessica :P

Added yours Brittany! And I'll add your books as soon as you post them Lauren :D

No problem- thanks for signing up Brittany :D

Sounds good to me!

If we're only going to do two, why don't we do the book pool and book bingo so they're both fun new ones! And then next month we can switch in a different two or try all 3 depending on how these go :)

Yeah I'll definitely set up sign ups right now! And I can help with the bingo themes!

We can definitely do colors, here's some: white, green, blue, black, purple, pink, red, gray/silver, yellow, and orange!

Items on the cover: girl, boy, eyes, animal, sword, heart, ring, shoe, tree (thanks for some of those Lauren!)

Either way that's 10 colors, and 9 items if that helps :) I can keep trying to brainstorm if you need some more ideas!

I'm in!! :D

In this challenge, you will be reading books from a list put together by the people who signed up!

Here's How It Works:

1. When you sign up, pick out five books you want to be included on the list, or book pool.
2. Any book works as long as it follows these simple guidelines:
-YA
-No Duplicates
3. At the beginning of May, you will start reading books from the entire Book Pool. Pick at least one, but there is no limit on the number of books you read.
4. We will have a bit of a competition; the person who reads the most books in the Book Pool will be the champion for that month!

Okay! That's it , have fun! And let me know if you have any questions!

Sounds good to me! And we can brainstorm together if you want :)

A Book Pool Challenge is where everyone who signs up lists 5 books they want to read during the next month. Then in the first post, a book pool is made- essentially all the books that people said they wanted to read. Then during the month people post which books they've read from the pool (whether they added it or someone else). If that made no sense, an example is here:

Awesome Brittany! And yeah- school is always rough towards the end....

I think that's a great idea! Are we also going to keep the You Pick, I Pick? Cause I really like that one too- I can help with either one if necessary! I was also thinking about setting up a Book Pool Challenge for May?

So is there anything you guys need help with right now in the group? I have a bunch of challenges I want to set up in the group, but right now I might not be able to set them up since it's crunch time for the next couple months at school for me....But I'll definitely still be active and help out with whatever I can :)

This is a place for us moderators to discuss what's going on with the group and to just organize everything!

I'm just about to start If I Stay!!!

Hey everyone! I'm Riya and I'm 15 years old. I currently am a sophomore in high school.

Sadly, this means that I'm pretty much always working for either school or other extra-curriculars. In my rare free time I love to read (of course!), watch movies, and watch TV. I love so many movies I can't even decide my favorites, but I love superhero movies, Disney movies, Star Wars, Argo, and pretty much everything else! For TV shows I mainly watch Suits, Castle, Friends, Merlin, Sherlock, Once Upon A Time, Revenge, House of Cards, Graceland, and How I Met Your Mother.

Now, books. I have always loved reading, and since I got active on Goodreads (around a year ago) I've joined and participated in many groups like this AWESOME one! I love discussing books with just about anyone, and my favorite books would include: The Book Thief, The Kite Runner, the Legend series, Graceling, The Night Circus, Speaker for the Dead, Jasper Jones, and I Am The Messenger.

I mainly read fantasy and sci-fi books, but I do like reading a little bit of everything! I'm always up for recommendations and whatnot.

Oh and I also love traveling! I mean it's seeing new places + meeting new people + learning about new cultures + eating AWESOME food- what's not to love? And it's so awesome being able to say that I brought whichever book to whichever foreign country I read it in during a vacation!!!
