You would put in the Book Club Challenge Folder and title it Jenny's . . . (whatever name you want to give it). I called mine Favorites Lists. You can come up with whatever activities you would like to promote the games section. Chelsea's section will probably be up Friday/Saturday, but you could start a day or two earlier if that works better for you.
You know our BOTM suggestion threads? Do you think it would be better if we only had two of those--one for themes and one for nominations? It seems that we only need two anyway.
hey everyone I'm back for little bits at a time if there is anything I can help with let me know I'm trying to get caught up with everything so much happened in a short time
Elizabeth! We missed you. It's so nice you're back (even of it's bits at a time).
Hey, it's awesome to hear from you again! :)
After you get that sorted out, you can send a group message saying the mod mini challenges part of the Book Club Challenge are all up, and include links to all three. It might be that not many people know about your challenge.
*Sigh* You can lead a horse to water, but you can not make it drink. Being philosophical FTW. :D
Um what should we do about the Featured Books folder? I think it would be a good idea if we re-start it as a single thread like your first impressions challenge and continue it long term like that. What do you guys think?
Hey I was wondering hoe we will add up/collect the points (when will the challenge end?) I would do it but I am getting teeth pulled out today (I'm getting braces) so I'll be in a whole world of pain for the next while:)
Would you be able to count up the points in your section? I'll be adding everything together, so you could send me the list of participants and their points.If you are unable to do that, I'll count yours.
I'll be able to do mine and I'll put it up on my challenge thread. Thanks! :)
Got my teeth done and not bad. I will have the points in my category added up on 29th.
I'm thinking of a way to lessen the number of folders. Do you think it would be better to get rid of the genre folders, and put the threads all in one. We can edit the titles so they have the genre with them.
I think that would be a good idea. It will help a lot! I don't think the genre in the title would be necessary though.
I'm really sorry :(, I can't be a Mod anymore.
Should we put up a thread for October book nominations now, since it was a little late last month and not many people nominated? I don't think it would hurt to put it up early.

Mod
Yeah, that's right! I think I could try...I have two authors in mind. You guys have any ideas? I could try and turn the group picture into a widget to go on my blog sidebar and I could send it to you guys if you want it?
I would definitely put that widget on my blog. :-)
Mod
Great! I'll have a go soon!
I don't blog, so I'll just let you guys work this out :)
Mod
Oh, ok. I have made the widget! Just go to my blog (I have a link from my profile) and then onto the free widgets page. The code is there. Let me know if it doesn't work because I might have different settings to you.
That sounds cool, would we have a poll for which books? And would it replace a BOTM?

Should we put the polls for BOTM up now? And I was wondering, we forgot to make a theme poll and a themed book for this month, as well as a challenge book/series readalong because there wasn't a challenge this month so I was wondering if we should just take the top 3 from the poll for general book?
And maybe next month start a new series?
And maybe next month start a new series?
I do like this banner, but something new could work well yes :) I'm not sure about the name, its up to you. I made the poll, I hope I did it right it's my first time and next month we can put up a page for a new series suggestion, and also choose some themes to put on the poll (we could also add some theme ideas) :). So should we have one BOTM next month or take the top 3 from the poll?
Mod
Hey, we can do something for banned books week! We can create a few new topics about it.
Sending out group messages about our updates can be effective. It would be a good idea to send one out to the group informing everyone of our new r2r system.

Sure!

Go to the members page and on the very bottom you'll see "broadcast a message to all members." Then you can send a message. I suggest introducing yourself as a brand new moderator because it's your first message as a mod of the group.
I have sent out a poll invite, since I forgot to do that when I made the poll, and also want to let you guys know I will be on holidays away from a computer from the 28th of September to the 5th of October. I will have my phone and so will be ale to participate via the app but if I run out of credit or if it expires, I won't be here. Also it's a beach holiday so I will be quite busy and will not be very active but I'll be back on the 5th :)

Your read2review idea is going really well! We have two more authors on it too."
Yay! Thanks! But I was wondering if one of you guys would mind taking over contacting the authors on the read2review sign ups for a bit. I'm really sorry but I'm going to be offline for a while so I won't be able to do it. Thanks again :)

-I'm thinking that we can have open sign ups where someone can enter any time throughout the month. That gives a chance for new members that we get to participate. All participants would have to sign up in the main challenge thread, and would have to tell us which of our activities they are participating in. The thread for that could either be the main challenge one I have already or a separate sign up thread altogether.
-I'm not sure with the scoring system. I just know that we need to make all the activities on a similar scale. So, if you want to stick with the points for your challenge, I'll have to make sure that the other stuff match up (but not with as large number of points because I've got daily points; I might go with two points for every daily first impression and nomination).
I like how you have the easy, medium, and hard activities. I'm thinking of having a few more activities to do with the nominations, so members can earn more points.
