Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments Weird... anyways does any have any freebies that I can give Haley? Hers expired. I'm trying to win the same freebie again this week.


message 252: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Which freebie is it?


message 253: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments Bloody Jack


message 254: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Has anyone already sent out poll invitations to the group?


message 255: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments No, I try not to often because it kinda annoys people. Hahaha.


message 256: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Well, then. I'll take the job of annoying people because so few members actually vote on our polls.


message 257: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments I agree we need to get peoples attention so they know whats going on lots of members haven't made even one comment


message 258: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments ok so I have a thought for a challenge so here's what I'm thinking its buddy reads but the also kind of a see how many you can read for like a month or something and the team that reads the most gets an ebook and we get to pick our teams and the ones we read together would count for double the ones we read separate count for one point what do you all think

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments That sounds really good, would you like to do that next month or perhaps in july?
And yea about half our members haven't made even made a single comment, they are either lurking or joining our group for no reason, it's really sad but I know many groups are in the same boat as us. Maybe we could use the challenges and prizes to entice members to join in.


message 260: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments Ohhh and before I forget does anyone have any freebies? Haley still needs one.


message 261: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments I don't have any right now but I am buzzing a bunch of books for next week so I'll see what I get then and next month will work I will put the challenge up at the end of the month

Kate (kaitlins16) Hey, Travis, the author of Beyond the Plains (World of Myth #1) by Travis Bughi The Forest of Angor (World of Myth #2) by Travis Bughi has offered/requested a giveaway to celebrate the third book in his series being published. Here is what he has offered:

Just for entering the drawing, contestants can receive 1 free e-copy of the first novel, Beyond the Plains, if they'd like to have it. Five lucky people get either a paper or e-copy (their choice) of both #1 & #2, The Forest of Angor, and 1 lucky person gets either a paper or e-copy of all three novels.

This giveaway will probably happen in a few weeks.


message 263: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments Ok (to both Jenny and Kaitlin)


message 264: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments have fun I'm sure it will be great


message 265: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) That would be cool.

Actually, the giveaway I mentioned is going to be set up now. Travis got things going with his third book much sooner than he thought he would.


message 266: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments to cool


message 267: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments :) YAY!


message 268: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments It's awesome! I love it! OMG!


message 269: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments You know your next job should be to change our smaller group pic. Hahahaha!


message 270: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments I just now payed attention and saw the new banner it is amazing great job I love it


message 271: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments I either of them are great!


message 272: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments ok I have the four books that are in the seeds of discovery series and I was thinking they would be a great prize for something any Ideas


message 273: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Our polls have ended! We have a bunch of ties, though.

For fairytale retelling, both Entwined by Heather Dixon and A Curse Dark As Gold by Elizabeth C. Bunce received seven votes.

For General BOTM, Eve (Eve, #1) by Anna Carey Fire (Graceling Realm, #2) by Kristin Cashore Uglies (Uglies, #1) by Scott Westerfeld The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1) by Michelle Hodkin each received seven points.

Seven seems to be our lucky number this month, huh?

Jojiwoji was our winner of the I'm thinking of a number challenge, and I just sent her a message telling her that she gets to choose a book to read for June.


message 274: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments oh my four books came in first thats crazy


message 275: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments I just had a thought you know how we have the where in the world are you what if we added something about school mascots alot of the members are in school or have a mascot from when they went to school what does everyone think


message 276: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) That is awesome. Please do that. (Include school colors, will you?)


message 277: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments K give me a bit I'm on my iPad right now


message 278: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments K I got it it's under general


message 279: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Hey, can any of you think of a non-reading challenge (like the book cover one was) that we could do next month?


message 280: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments Ok this is just off the top of my head but how about a character word scramble I'll think some more on it to


message 281: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I just thought of something. But I think we can blend yoir idea with it.

It would be called either bachelor auction or mystery man or something similar. Whatever it is, it's all about the men of the books.

For each clue, I would give a list of characteristics, likes, dislikes, and maybe a few letters of his name.


message 282: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments That's good I like it


message 283: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments Let me know if you need any help


message 284: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments Hey I got all four books in the series from seeds of discovery can you think of a good way to give them away


message 285: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I probably will. I won't start working on it until next week, which is my last week of the school year.


message 286: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments K just let me know it sounds like fun I'll help with whatever you need


message 287: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments Well thats a problem. 7 books are definitely too many!


message 288: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments I think that for the General BOTM we should pick TUOMD because we have read all that much contemporary. And as for the themed? I'm not sure. Jenny what should we read?


message 290: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments Which do you think we should read?


message 291: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) A Curse as Dark as Gold! I love that book.

The other book . . . I didn't care much for.


message 292: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) We should definitely read tuomd. Though I don't really comsider it a contemporary, though it may seem like it at times.

(By the way, my definition of contemporary means there is nothing paranormal or otherworldly about it.)


message 293: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments ohhh sorry I am not really familiar with tuomd. BTW I won't be on 2nite or 2morrow and half of the day after as I am doing the 40hour famine. Which is fundraising for the people of Papua New Guinea. Basically I'm giving up internet, cell phone and funiture for 40 hours. And I get people to sponsor me. All money goes to the less fortunate peple of Papua New Guinea! Anyways my school is doing it. Sorry, I will try to set up the BOTMs in the nxt 1/2 hour though.


message 294: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments If you could help to create the discussions for the BOTMs it would be great. Please and Thank you!


message 295: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments Have you guys noticed that Shrishti has disappeared? Maybe it is only on my computer?


message 296: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) It's not just you. It happened a few days ago. I noticed on my iPod that a bunch of threads had been edited on many of the groups I'm in (which makes "unread" on my app). Then I noticed that those edits were actually deleted comments, and that most, of not all, of her comments have been taken off the groups. She also moderated a small music group on goodreads, but there wasn't a mod at all when I checked last.

I find it really weird that her comments are deleted. I've seen people disappear off of goodreads before, but all their comments stayed.


message 297: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Hey, I want to get that bachelor non-reading challenge started this week. However, I haven't done much for it. Can I get some help with creating some of the clues?


message 298: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments Ummm sure I'm pretty low on homework this week wow. So I'm keen!

Hhmm strange.

Shall we do it on private messaging?
