Hello all! :) Super excited to be in the mod hunger games! If the cannon hasn't gone off and I have been eliminated by the time you two go MIA I will happily volunteer to keep the group active during that time! :)

Welcome Melissa! And awesome- we appreciate it a ton :D
Hi! Also excited to be in the mod hunger games. I was wondering if there's going to be a June BOTM, since there hasn't been one in so long?
Mod
I was in the mod hunger games before. If I'm still not I would like too. I was a bit active before but not a lot but I have more time now to help out if you want.
Mod
May the odds be ever in your favour!
Mod
How do you put a pic up? I'm clueless. I have a good pic though.
Sorry to disappear on you guys I am super sick and looking a my phone or computer kind of hurts my head at the moment. I am trying to catch up on what I have missed!
Also I was thinking, maybe we should have a folder for discussions about singular books or series that aren't as popular. Like TFIOS or any book that doesn't necessarily needs it's own folder, just one discussion.
Mod
i'm ok with that, it would be a good way to organize, maybe ask Riya for her opinion?

Definitely also make a suggestions thread in the folder for more topics to add, and if you need any help running it just ask!
Also I think I'm going to make the poll for the June BOTM tomorrow sometime since there are already quite a few suggestions, do you want the poll to have the results private or public and how long do you want it to stay up?
I was looking through the group threads and noticed the school! I think this is a fantastic idea but it doesn't appear to have taken off. I think that people were maybe confused about the classes as it wasn't too clear about what the "lessons" meant. Roleplay can be fun but it needs a "push in the right direction" sometimes! It would be great if we could come up with some "lessons" to start it up and see if it goes anywhere! Anyone want to maybe join forces and come up with something with me?
Ooooo also, we should start reading challenges! Those are always fun!!
Mod
*squeal* OMG OMG I'm so happy!!! When i made it I was just trying it out and when there wasnt much attention I just left it but if you could get it going I would love you forever!!!! It looks like Abi also has an interest so why dont you two team up?
Melissa wrote: "Ooooo also, we should start reading challenges! Those are always fun!!"Yeah- I was thinking about starting a few of the monthly challenges in July, so I might set up some discussion threads for those this weekend and then send out a message mid-month for sign ups!!! :)
If you'd like to help with those, that'd be great! Or you can create yearly/random time limit challenges that you like as well!
I made the poll for the BOTM and I was wondering if you wanted me to do the thing where it asks all the members to vote?
I already did that Anika :)But thanks for offering- and thanks SO much for making the poll!!!
Awesome! Haha glad I could help :) When the poll is over I'll send out another message to the whole group about which book wins. Is it going to be one or two books?
I'm back! I'm finally able to look at my computer without physical pain! Sorry for the absence guys! :) I would love to team up with Abi and get the school going! I think its got some fantastic potential! :)
Riya: I would love to work with you for monthly reading challenges! I adore them! I will look at what challenges I have done in the past and see which ones were my favorite and get back to you :)
Okay, so I have looked at the challenges I have done in the past and have come up with a few different ones that I really enjoyed in the past! If you would like I could make a folder for challenges or I could message them to you for more options for July!
Melissa wrote: "Okay, so I have looked at the challenges I have done in the past and have come up with a few different ones that I really enjoyed in the past! If you would like I could make a folder for challenges..."I have already created the folder and added two challenges, feel free to add more!
Mod
Okay! I have a big project for work (a training program) that I need to work on tonight, but I will add a few to the folder tomorrow night! :)
I have an idea to start Buddy reads in the group. Maybe we could ask members to sign-up for the Buddy Read and thn pair them randomly. Then each pair decides to read a book which is in both of their tbr piles. What say?? I'll be ready to handle it if you guys want since I'm also doing the same in one of my other groups which I moderate...
Ruchi- that'd be a variation of The Pick It For Me challenge that I'm definitely up for :)And before anyone sends out a group message when the BOTM is chosen, we should all make a quick decision on what exactly to put in it (so that way it can include buddy reads and what not)
I'll also add some challenges :D And if anyone wants to collab on anything just message me!
In the group msg, we should definitely make a mention of the challenges which have put up.
I just put up a few of my favorite challenges!As the site I used for my reading challenges in the past has been closed (Which made me super sad!) I was able to find the equivalents of them on a Reading Challenge group on Goodreads so that they were easily explained to the masses! Yay!
YAY Buddy Reads! I am super excited for this!
Should we do the Buddy Reads idea I suggested?
Okay so since the poll ended I can send out the newsletter I just need to know what to put in it exactly.
I think it'd be cool Ruchi!!Okay Anika- so far we need to announce If I Stay as the BOTM, along with a link to the discussion here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Also include this link to the challenges folder: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... And just say that there are a bunch of new challenges in there including monthly challenges (such as a July PIFM and July Book Pool) along with other ones!!!
Okay awesome, should I send it out know or wait until morning in case someone thinks of something else.
Should I create the Buddy Reads section now and maybe you could include that too in the pm?
I created the Buddy Reads folder! You can send the group msg now:)
Mod
btw im super happy with everything you've all done!!! <3
Bye Sarah!!! We'll miss you :)*And just a warning- This will be my last week before I take a 10 day leave myself- sorry! I trust all of you to take care of the group while we're both gone though :)
