Brittany’s comments from the YAholics Anonymous! group.

Time to revive this...

Anyone up for a reading war at :45?

Is she still willing to do this? Perhaps at the beginning of September we can announce everything that's going on in the group and tell everyone about this. Breathe some more life into the forum, too...

Updated! C'mon and join the fun everyone! We need a bigger pool!

Sent a message her way. :)

Welcome, welcome new members! It's so great to see new faces! :D

Yay! Another Dresden Files fan! :D

Yay! More people joining! :D

Yeah, I think she's a good candidate. She tends to be pretty active in the other groups, too. I guess if she were a mod, she'd be more active on here, too.

I'm in! :D

I got the usual three challenges set up, but maybe you could send out a group message to remind everyone about it? We really need to try harder with the discussion next month, too. I was really lazy this month. ^.^;

And yeah, we need to pick at least one more new mod...

* Please note - if you choose a series continuation, please include the second book along with the third! (Example:: Grave Peril AND Summer Knight or just Grave Peril.)

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 August, 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!

The Book Pool

The ever popular You Pick, I Pick Challenge is back for yet another month! Personally this is one of my favorite challenges ever, so I look forward to running it this month :D

The rules are the same as usual, so just post 20 books you want to read. On the first of September, partners will be assigned and they'll choose 10 books for their partner to read that month!

Hope everyone likes it!!

Participants

Sign up in this thread. Put your name and a link to your to-read shelf. On the 1st of September everyone will be will be paired up randomly. Once you have your partner you choose a book for them from their shelf. Your partner will read this book, and you will read the book your partner chose for you. (if your account is private please remember to add your partner as your friend on Goodreads ASAP)

If you want, you may choose two books from your partner's to-read shelf, and they can try and read both or pick the one they prefer.

Rules:
1. If you sign up, you must pick a book for your partner. Otherwise the challenge is ruined for them!
2. If you do not want the book picked from your to-read shelf, please provide a link to the one you would rather choose.
3. We will not be adding people after the 1st.
4. Partners will be picked on the 1st of September. You should have your picks for your partner by the 3rd of September.
5. Have fun!

Haha! I'm replying to the one you tagged me in now! Blogging can be so addicting! XD

Haha! I know what you mean. Two books I've been looking forward to come out this week, and I keep getting tempted by Harry Dresden books. Hopefully I'll finish this one within the next couple of days!

I'm on Chapter 43 now! (Ugh, work has been getting in the way of reading time...) The parts with the Cranks are really suspenseful and even a little creepy!

So... It's about time to set up next month challenges. :) I'll try to get some of them up tonight.

Ooh, you need to! They're so good!

And I'm on Chapter 17. Like you, I really feel sorry for these kids. It's just one thing after another. I'd be so scarred by everything if I lived in this universe. I'd probably just die in it, honestly. Lol.

Also, what was with (view spoiler)[that eerie message they recieved in the tunnel? I wonder if they really did have the option to turn back. Not that it prolly would've done them much good, since they supposedly have the virus now. (hide spoiler)]
