Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Yes, it would be nice, right? So what series is in your mind now Trisha?

How about hush,hush series? I really wanted to read that1!
Btw... How is it diff from group read-series?

Well with group series read we don't know when we will read book 2 together after book 1 is finished :)

Maybe we can convert the group series to full series read! Like all books of The Hunger Games or Hush,Hush or Crash etc..

Let me think about that, Deepika! :)

I can take any suggestions of thing to read. I love to read but never know what to read. Also I am kind of confused because there are so many things to do on here.

I just create a thread for that :)

I have a question. There a few books I am wondering about reading. I want to know what you think of them. If I stay and the say i turned pretty. I forget the authors though. Let me know if you have read them and if you need the authors.

If I Stay was a VERY good book! I loved it! I loved the 2nd book more though ;)

Did you mean The Summer I Turned Pretty?
I wasn't a fan of that book ,but that doesn't mean it was a bad book! It wasn't, just not my kind of book....

Oh thanks. I might start reading them. Thanks!!

Hi everyone! I just recently signed up for Goodreads because I love to read! I like to join groups that have similar interests as me. I've noticed that some groups have an author folder where new authors give a link to free ebooks that they write. Does this group have a folder like that as well? It would be a great way to read more authors and find more books :)

We have giveaways and freebie folder: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_...

Currently have 2 giveaways since many others have expired already.

Hello and welcome to the group Mari! Hope to see you around and start chatting books with you:D

Has anyone read The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman? I think the movie is excellent and I am wondering if the book is as good.

I never seen the movie, but I read the book years ago. Really loved it. :) I would recommend it.

Good stuff. I was wondering if the movie was good because of the screenplay or the book. I'll check it out so!

I tend to avoid movies of books I read. Most of the time it is a disappointment.
Have fun reading the book. :)

Sorry to interrupt, but this thread is for suggestions and questions related to the group. Not about books, movies or other recommendations. Please move to appropriate post.

Thanks :)

Sorry, I was just answering Ardle's question. :(

no biggie. I just want to make sure it is not to far off topic :)

I just saw the topic name was "Suggestions and Questions" and I had a question to ask! It's new to me, which accounts for the bull in a china shop approach. I'm not sure what is involved yet! New rule for myself - be more quiet on Goodreads. :-)

Actually Ardle.. This topic is for suggestions and questions on how to make this group better :)

http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... .. I hope it helped :D

I suppose you need the etiquette or the whole thing becomes chaotic. I kinda like chaos, so I will just keep myself in check by posting less.

Ardle, each folder and topic serves different purpose so it is easy for everyone to make sense of everything happens in the group.

There is General Chat thread that we don't care how chaotic it gets :)

Are you two up to having others help?

I think we are good for now :) We will make an announcement if we need any.

Yes, as of right now we are fine! But as Gisbelle said, we will let everybody know when we are seeking help! Thanks though, Tayla!

have us say which books we have read

I'm not 100% sure, but are you looking for which books we've read together as a group?

if you go to Crazy for YA "group home" page, you can scroll all the way down to our "book shelf" and see our books from there

or

at the top right corner of the main page, you can click the link "book shelf"

or

if you scroll down our main page, you can find 2 different links.

One is for our Group read: stand alone which you can see here:http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_...

or

Series reads here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_...

I know there are many other ways to find it, but I hope these few ways help!

If not Gisbelle and Jacquelyn are great moderators and will always help too!! :D

We still have a lot to figure out about our group monthly reads. It seems like not many people (including me) read monthly read or come to discuss. I am thinking of doing only one monthly read from next month on.

So we can suggest books for the group to read? Wow this is awesome!! :D

Yes, I am still trying to make group reads go more smoothly.

Okay I am currently reading Shiver and am almost through with it. So I suggest the other two books in the series. Linger and Forever. :)

good idea :) i think we can add book 2 as the group read for February

I'm trying to add books to my secret admirer note challenge but cant figure out how to add them to the corresponding letters. Like I wanna add diary of a wimpy kid to D. but cant figure it out or actually the one i'm reading would be the ugly truth so it would be U. how do I do this?

Click it and type the title of the book you want to add.

Click what?

Cause some of the posts have books you can click on and I can't figure that out

See the picture. Click in the circle.

And that will make it appear on the letter or do I need to type out DEAR ETC ETC?

yes, you need to type the title of the book. That what I have been telling you. See message 89.

Sorry didnt work for me. I copied the post but when I type in the book it messes it up. Thanks though

I'll make another screen shot for you. Wait a minute.

Click "add book/author"


Then type the tile you want. Click "link" if you want just link, click "cover" if you want to the cover image.



Then click "add"

I actually got it. Sorry for all the confusion. Thank you very much

yes I'm doing the secret admirer note challenge and was wondering how to update my book completed count? Do I have to repost everytime or go down to find my original post and then change my count?

Just go to your original post and change the count. When you are finished you can repost it so everyone can see the whole thing without having to go back. (this mostly counts when a thread goes to multiple pages)
