She has left GR?

[Kate]

I'm not sure. I just know that she isn't listed as a member or moderator of the group, and I can't find her on my friends list.

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, I just checked my friends list and she is not there.

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Me too.

[[deleted user]]

Well, she might be facing some problems. Hope she'll be back soon.

[Kate]

I hope so too.

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Well if she says she is busy then maybe she needed to take some time away from GR. :)

[[deleted user]]

Yes, Jess.

[Elizabeth]

hey if you all need some help let me know I'm always here and everytime someone post I get an alert so I can help keep discussions going to just let me know

[[deleted user]]

Hey, Kaitlin, one question..
Why have you named the turn it up/down game as Volume game?

[Kate]

Because when I made that post, I completely blanked what it was usually called.

[[deleted user]]

Oh okay.
It's usually called Turn it up/turn it down.(as I've seen in some other groups)

[Kate]

Hey, Jess, when are you intending to put up the polls for next month's reads? I want to know so we can have the themes picked out and an idea of the books that would go with each theme if it won.

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

I'm think same as last month. The 15th. That gives everyone 16days to vote. Does that sounds like enough???

[Kate]

It's plenty of time.

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

K I will put up a poll then! :)

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

So I was thinking about adding something to the "where in the world are you". Like writing different countries and adding people's name to it. Similar to the birthday thread but with countries instead. I wanted your guys opinion. So what do you think?

[[deleted user]]

Hmm, nice idea!

[Kate]

Yeah, I like that idea too.

[[deleted user]]

By the way are you guys on Facebook?
I was thinking if we should create a facebook page about this group.

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

K i will make the thread. That's also a great idea! I don't have it. :)

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Hi guys! I'm really sorry but I will not be online this week because of school. It's a week before reports and I need to do a lot of studying, tests and papers. :( Really sorry! And I hope you guys have a good week! And I will try and join in whenever I can.

[Kate]

I totally understand. The rest of my year of school (basically now until June 7) is going to be hectic at most times because of tests and essays.

Good luck, and I'm looking forward to seeing you back on after your hectic week. :)

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Thanks for understanding! And I'm back. :)

[Kate]

Welcome back!

I have Facebook, so if you still want to set up a page for the group, go ahead. :)

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Wow! 305 members!!! *squeals* I'm so happy! Thank you so much you guys, you both made this group awesome!

I deleted my facebook account a few days ago. It was turning out to be too boring.

And you too! :) :D
Cheers!

I am just setting up both of Mays poll and I'm wondering if we should add Requiem or if it should automatically be a BOTM without any vote. Polls will be up at midnight. :D

[Kate]

It should probably be on a vote because we aren't automatically adding the sequels of the other two books for this month. But Requiem is the third book, so that's kinda different.

So, it's up to you to decide.

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

So we would have:
- A book for May
- A themed Book
- Requiem
- A book chosen by member.

Sound good? I don't think there will be many people who have read all four books. :)

[Kate]

Awesome. :)

[Kate]

Hey, Jess, I'm thinking that we should find another moderator to replace Molly now. It would be really helpful to have an extra person helping out. Maybe we should tell people we're looking for another moderator, then if anyone is interested, they can tell us why we should make them a moderator. So, instead of choosing the first person to post saying they would like to be a moderator, we could give people a chance to request being a moderator.

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Yeah that sounds great. Um… how long has Damini been gone for?

[Kate]

She's been gone since sometime Saturday. When I first noticed that the same thing happened to her, I checked one of her last posts here and it wasn't posted a long time before I noticed it.

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Weird. When shall we pick a MOD and how many people should we pick? I was thinking one and then if we get more members, two. But we could also have two more MODs and then we wouldn't have to go through the whole process again. What do you think?

[Kate]

Maybe we could pick a Mod either tomorrow or Saturday? I like the idea of having two more, but I'm still wondering if Damini will be back soon.

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Okay so Saturday. And I'm thinking if Damini was going for awhile I don't think she would've deleted her profile. So I'm thinking we ask two people.

[Kate]

Welcome new mods!

[Leigh]

Thanks Kaitlin :) I'm super excited!

[Elizabeth]

thank you let me know if theres anything you need me to do and I'm on facebook which goes straight to my phone so feel free to add me so if you need anything you can get ahold of me but I'm here a lot of the time too

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Great! :D

[Kate]

So, new mods, is there anything special you want to do in the group? Like a particular area that you would like to lead?

Jess does our BOTM polls.
I look over our Themed challenge and make sure updates are made. (I could use some help with choosing themes that will go on the polls.)

Here are some areas you could help in:

Book Character Elimination Games
Gathering nominations every month
Small Challenges
Pick it For Me Challenge
Keeping Birthdays updated
End of the Month - Favorite Quote from BOTM polls

Other than that, it's helpful to have you two to help keep the group active and organized.

[Elizabeth]

I can help with character elimination if you want ad just let me know what else you need

[Elizabeth]

hey we need some reading challenges for the year don't we I know we have the all together challenge for all of us to do together but maybe we could do a reading ABC.... were we have books that start with every letter of the alphabet or even team reading were we get a partner and add the scores together to see which team can read the most in a year or a reading rainbow challenge IDK I was just thinking about this when I was adding my books I read to the challenge we have what do you all think about it

[Elizabeth]

hey Kaitlin did you have any Ideas about the next character elimination game or do we need suggestions I can get started on that if you want just didn't want to start something if you had a plan or idea about the next one

[Jessica , Proud Bookaholic]

Could we do sidekick elimination challenge. Like Simon, Jem, puck from iron fae series and so on.

[Elizabeth]

I don't see why we can't want me to get it started

[Kate]

I would go for another round of couples. All these rounds lead up to a big one where the top three of each round of each category run against each other. Each round has eleven different characters.

Sidekick elimination is basically supporting characters, so I wouldn't do a separate one for that.
