[Damini]

Okay, how about Spell-It-Out challenge??

[Damini]

Guys, I've quite a few ideas for challenges.
Firstly, I can handle the monthly challenges, if you will like that. We can create new challenges each month. Plus, there can be a certain challenge which we can repeat every month, starting afresh. We can have either of them or both.

Other than that, I think, addition of a few more long term challenges would be good!
What do you think?

Thats a great idea! :)

[Damini]

Shall I start working on it, then?
I can create it tomorrow. Right now I think the monthly challenge and another long term challenge should be fine, say, spell it out challenge.
Will that be okay?

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

That would be great! :)

[Damini]

All right. :)

[Damini]

Guys, I've added two challenges and sent the newsletter.
*Phew*

[[deleted user]]

Sorry for getting on so late! So what's the news?

[Damini]

Lauren- You've read the group newsletter, right?

[[deleted user]]

Hey guys. Um, so like my cousin's here for a sleepover and tomorrow's Friday and it's hectic those days so I'll try to come ASAP okay?
(I also have a new folder in mind. A lot actually)

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

The newsletter is perfect and so are the challenges Vinny! and okay tinath

[[deleted user]]

Yes the newsletter looked great. I got the interveiw posted

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Great!

[Damini]

Thank you guys. :)
Though those images did not work. :(

[Damini]

Oh and I will be off from tomorrow till 11th August at least. Just to let you guys know.

[[deleted user]]

Okay!

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Alright! i have the botm up and so are the discussions. I was thinking that i should maybe make an email about that but only after we get the last book.

[[deleted user]]

Hi guys
So bad news like worse than when I found out that Will died or worse when I found out there wasn't another harry potter book (okay maybe not worse than that) but I have to delete my goodreads account ,all of it:(. Trust me I didn't go down without a fight. But in the end I probably did spend to much time on it and last year I probably could have made better grades and since going into high school is "just so important" I have to delete it:( so bye guys
-Lauren

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Vinny, Tinath? Its sad to lose Lauren, she was amazing! But if she needs to concentrate on school then thats what she has to do. Im going to be opening up the MOD sign up. And when you guys have free time, can we talk some things? I know you are busy and I'm sorry for interrupting you. Have a great day! :)

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

okay so we need to divvy stuff up?

[Damini]

Hey Jess, I'll be here for a while now. So lets start discussing stuffs.

[btwthesepages, Living and Breathing Books]

Divvy? *new mod confused* *well that didn't take long :P*

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

hahaha divide :)

[btwthesepages, Living and Breathing Books]

Ohhh. Understood :P
So what can I do?

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

ok. sorry. had to do the washing up :P

so lauren was controlling the read and review folder and also the author interviews folder.

It hasnt been that active but thats probably because of schools

Also any new ideas?

challenges are doing great! discussions are slow, especially group reads

read and review is really slow, like non existent :/

[btwthesepages, Living and Breathing Books]

Sorry Jess. I was going through the RAR and author's interviews. Looks like we have 2 interviews on hold. I'll try to contact those authors and explain that I'm from the same group as Lauren. If they are still up for it we'll advertise the interviews and ask members to post their questions. As for the RAR it seems pretty deserted :/ I'll think of something to make it more active.
And the group reads...hmmm. Should think of something. Also could you change the edition of lock and key to a better cover? This one looks boring frankly and pretty covers always attract me :P It might help.
Also challenge ideas. We could add team challenges. There quite fun if we have enough participants.

[btwthesepages, Living and Breathing Books]

It's midnight here. Looks like I have to go. If I get any new ideas or if think of a way to bring RAR back from the dead (:P) I'll let you know. Should I contact those authors? Let me know you think it's a good idea. Goodnight :)

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Goodnight! hahaha yes please do, its a great idea and i will be thinking of stuff too!

[[deleted user]]

Hey guys. I have been thinking about this, and it's a bit hard for me to say this but I think i'll quit being a mod here. While I love this group, I am not exactly active here and I think I need some time-out. There's no valid excuse but I am so sorry. Its been a pleasure here.

Its all right tinath, its been great having you as one :)

[Danna]

hey guys! thanks for making me a new MOD! how can i help?

[Danna]

im gonna put the maze runner trailer on the videos when i get back since the movie is coming pretty soon.

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Alright, thats great! i will be sending an email out to all mods in the next hour about things? :P

[btwthesepages, Living and Breathing Books]

Hey Jess! Sorry I was a little busy these past few days with college admissions and challenges and stuff. I'm here now.
I can do the BOTM polls if that's alright. And the author interviews too. Since no one has asked any questions yet in the Kat Zhang thread do you want me to advertise it or delete the thread for now? I'll try to get in touch with Lauren Oliver in the time being.

And I have an Idea to make the author threads a little more active. Instead of contacting any authors we can get hold of why don't we put up a poll. Like from the recommend an author thread I'll see how many of their email id I can find and then I'll put 5 of these authors in a poll and ask members to vote. I contact the authors which get max votes. This way people who voted will ask more questions in the interview threads . How's that sound?

[Danna]

I like the idea!!

[btwthesepages, Living and Breathing Books]

Hey Danna! Congrats on becoming a mod :D

[Danna]

Thanks!

That sounds perfect Arshiya! And thanks! :)

[btwthesepages, Living and Breathing Books]

Hey Jess :)
How about that Kat Zhang thread?

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Hey!
I think we should advertise it once, wait two days and if nothing happens then we will delete it. :P

[btwthesepages, Living and Breathing Books]

Okay. Let me contact Lauren Oliver first and as soon as I get a reply I'll send out a group message advertising both interviews.
Want me to add anything else in the message?

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

to vote on the poll for theme nominations. Thank you! :D

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

And that will be perfect!

[btwthesepages, Living and Breathing Books]

Okay.Will do :D

Also can you tell me the deadline for the BOTM nominations? Theme and Regular.

[btwthesepages, Living and Breathing Books]

I'll add the September buddy reads sign ups to it too.
I'll probably send it within this week.

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

alright!

[btwthesepages, Living and Breathing Books]

I just sent Lauren Oliver a message!!!!! Hope she replies soon!

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Me too!!
