Melissa McGuire 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! :)

message 204: by Anika (new)

Anika 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?

great example of taking initiative! if you wanted to make one you should write up a little newsletter make a suggestions thread, wait a few days put up a poll, then once a book is picked send out another letter!


message 206: by Anika (new)

Anika Okay, awesome! I'll get on that.


message 207: by Abi (new)

Abi (_abi) | 453 comments 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.

i feel like we should change the group picture.....when i picked it i didnt put much thought into it so if anyone finds any thing better put it up here!


message 211: by Abi (new)

Abi (_abi) | 453 comments How do you put a pic up? I'm clueless. I have a good pic though.


message 212: by Melissa (new)

Melissa McGuire 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!


message 213: by Abi (new)

Abi (_abi) | 453 comments I hope you Get better!!!!


message 214: by Anika (new)

Anika Hope you feel better soon!


message 215: by Anika (new)

Anika 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.

i'm ok with that, it would be a good way to organize, maybe ask Riya for her opinion?

Thanks for checking with me Sarah (that actually means a lot!) and I think it's a great idea! Definitely also make a suggestions thread in the folder for more topics to add, and if you need any help running it just ask!


message 218: by Anika (new)

Anika Awesome!


message 219: by Anika (new)

Anika 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?


message 220: by Melissa (new)

Melissa McGuire 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?


message 221: by Melissa (new)

Melissa McGuire Ooooo also, we should start reading challenges! Those are always fun!!

*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?

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!


message 224: by Anika (new)

Anika 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?


message 225: by Riya (new)

Riya I already did that Anika :)
But thanks for offering- and thanks SO much for making the poll!!!


message 226: by Anika (new)

Anika 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?


message 227: by Melissa (new)

Melissa McGuire 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 :)


message 228: by Melissa (new)

Melissa McGuire 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!

I have already created the folder and added two challenges, feel free to add more!

loving all the good ideas!


message 231: by Melissa (new)

Melissa McGuire 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! :)


message 232: by A (last edited Jun 04, 2014 11:07PM) (new)

A H 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...


message 233: by Riya (new)

Riya 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!


message 234: by A (new)

A H In the group msg, we should definitely make a mention of the challenges which have put up.


message 235: by Melissa (new)

Melissa McGuire 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!


message 236: by A (new)

A H Should we do the Buddy Reads idea I suggested?


message 237: by Anika (new)

Anika Okay so since the poll ended I can send out the newsletter I just need to know what to put in it exactly.


message 238: by Riya (new)

Riya 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!!!


message 239: by Riya (new)

Riya I think that's it?


message 240: by Anika (new)

Anika Okay awesome, should I send it out know or wait until morning in case someone thinks of something else.


message 241: by A (new)

A H Should I create the Buddy Reads section now and maybe you could include that too in the pm?


message 242: by A (new)

A H I created the Buddy Reads folder! You can send the group msg now:)


message 243: by Anika (new)

Anika Okay, I'll do that right now
