Yep, minesweeper is kind-of driving me crazy at the moment!


message 102: by Tati (new)

Tati You're not the only one crazy because of Minesweeper right now (I will concede that you're crazier than me, having to tally those points, whereas all I have to do is read).

I will go through your messages as soon as I can, I'm totalling the minesweeper challenge first ☺

And oh look, once again, someone else is copying our challenges! To the point where they've cut and pasted last years Non-Reading challenge, and passed it off as their own!

Can you spot the difference? Ah yes, our posts were a year ago, and her's were last month.

Tati Is she no longer a member?

(I remember the wooden elephants!)


message 107: by Lovetoread (new)

Lovetoread | 730 comments Omg! Not again


message 108: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments O.o I know you hate the copying. But imitation is the sincerest form of flattery supposedly. >.< I guess it just goes to show how good you and Abbie are the others want to copy you. Although they should obviously try and change it up a bit more.

Usually if someone wants to recreate something from another group, they just message a mod, ask if it's okay, and then when they create the thread they say where they got the idea from. So for instance, we borrowed the 'Reading Sprints' idea from Jacquelyn at 'Crazy for young Adult books' - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
and she borrowed the 'wanted: reading buddies (ARCs)' from us - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

All we ask is for a little credit. That's all.


message 112: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments That's completely understandable and it was rude of this person to not at least credit much less ask. -.-


message 113: by Tati (new)

Tati Well, one things is to adapt an idea, but she is using what Sarah and Abbie put together word for word, and that's not nice at all!


message 114: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) I see that all the time and groups them giving credit to other groups for ideas, this challenge is crazy, I just woke up and people already have found things, LOL! I might just stick with all the reading challenges ;-)


message 115: by [deleted user] (new)

I understand that was rude of me and I have mentioned that I was sorry. I have given them their full credit. This will not happen again and if I think to use someone else's challenge or anything i will be sure to ask and credit. Once again I am sorry. I understand if Sarah or Abbie decides to take me out of the MMC challenge this year or even their group. I wouldn't want that to happen, but I will accept the consequences for my actions. Sorry guys.


message 116: by Amy (new)

Amy | 2535 comments Oh dear, she's on my team this month for the hangman challenge...

I'm sorry this keeps happening to you Sarah and Abbie, most of us know and respect how much work you put into creating these challenges. Hope this doesn't make you guys feel discouraged!

Thanks for apologising and adding the credit Shantavia. You're free to continue on in the challenge ☺


message 118: by [deleted user] (new)

Thanks so much Sarah. And again I'm so sorry

I just want to say a very, very sincere thank you to Abbie and Sarah for everything they do for this group. I don't know about everyone else, but this is the only group I use now and I met most of my GR friends through i too. We all really appreciate your hard work girls, and it really means a lot to us! Keep up the good work, best of luck for this crazy, crazy month and I hope that this problem can be resolved. <3 :)


message 122: by Rachael (new)

Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments Yep only group I use and met so many great people here. Sarah & Abbie make the world go round, literally.


message 123: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 8401 comments @Rachael Ha ha, I'd have to agree with you there! I'd be lost without this group. It got me into book blogging too, and I don't even want to know where I'd be without that!


message 124: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) This is definitely one of my favorite groups! And it is because of them! They give us so much of their time and energy! I truly appreciate it!

The only thing to bear in mind is that it's 2 points for a YA cover with a surfboard, and 1 point for a non-ya cover ☺

message 142: by Tati (new)

Tati Guys, you should rake in as many points as you can while it's still easy.

Guys, Goodreads say that I can't send any more messages today as apparently I've reached their limit. Might be best to message Abbie if you need to get answers to us


message 144: by Tati (new)

Tati there is such a thing?


message 145: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
Apparently, I've now discovered that it's only people who I haven't got added as a friend that it won't let me message, so if anybody hasn't got me added as a friend I won't be able to message you back!


message 146: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Is there a reason it was 24 hours yesterday and 48 today? :)


message 147: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
No, they should all say 48 hours, but I copied the original information from last years challenge, and last year it was only 24 hours (which ended up getting pushed to 48 or even 72 hours anyway) ☺


message 148: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Okay :) Good to know for those busy days :))


message 149: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
It's just to try and help people get maximum points. Not everybody lives on goodreads like me and Abbie ☺


message 150: by Tati (new)

Tati This is getting hard. I knew only one cover from the get go
