Oh oh oh!!!

[Jenny]

deleted self-promotion from 'What are you reading'.

[Jenny]

Shirley, just to let you know that I've added a March Sign-Up Sheet to the Reading Journey, as Terri was asking about it in the February thread.

[Shirley]

Thanks Jenny, I've just seen it. Wasn't sure whether to continue with it, as interest had dwindled...

[Jenny]

I am glad interest seems to be back, I really like reading them!

Yes, me too :)

[Rowena]

Hi all,

I'm trying to post a new comment in the "group announcement" thread but I can't seem to do so. It says the thread has been frozen. Any idea why?

[Rowena]

It's okay, I got my answer from Jenny. Thanks Jenny:)

[Jenny]

:)

[LauraT]

A strange thing happend to me as well: I saw in my mail that Shirley sent me a mail here in goodreads telling about the poll for our April Fiction Read.
From my mail I could get to the poll and have also voted. But there's no trace of the message here in goodreads!!!!!!

Hi Laura, I think it's because I sent an invitation direct from the poll - and I don't think it keeps a record of it under messages..?

[LauraT]

Ahh I feel better this way!!!

[Jenny]

it will only show in your messages if you add an additional message to the poll-notification I think (just a theory ;))

[LauraT]

ok, clear - at least for the moment! ;)

[Jenny]

Just wanting to let you know that I am on tour again until the 23rd, so I will not be able to go online regularly. If major disaster occurs, send a telegram to Luxembourg! ;)

OK - have a good tour :)

[LauraT]

I'm too in a bit of a confision here at work. I hope I'll be able of spending some more time next week!
Have a nice week end all of you

[Leslie]

Just to let you guys know that I have updated our group home page for the Spring poet and play.

[LauraT]

Thanks Leslie

[Leslie]

After a bit of confusion on "Would You Recommend This Book?", Shirley suggested renaming the thread. I have done that - I changed it to "Has Anyone Read This Book?"
(Diane suggested that title).

[LauraT]

Perfect

[Jenny]

thanks Leslie. I remember people asking about a 'recommendation' thread in the spirit of: which book to best read when wanting to read something by Fitzgerald or by a North-Korean author or by...and so on. I was wondering whether it could be a combined thread, like a general thread for recommendations or enquiries about certain books? (In which case it would need re-naming again ;)) or a seperate thread.

[Jenny]

P.S: Internet only on phone until Monday, so apologies for being rather absent (again)

Arghh - I guess that was why it had that name originally... Maybe people could still ask those questions there even though the name of the thread doesn't fit?

[Jenny]

I guess it would be alright for most of us, but it might be very confusing for new members. Unfortunately I can't come up with a clever combined title right now, without turning it into half a novel, but that maybe because it is early. ;) Maybe someone else has an idea?

[Shirley]

How about

"I'd like to try reading...what would you recommend?"

For example - I'd like to try reading Dickens/Jane Austen/mysteries/books set in Africa - and then people could add suggestions?

Or maybe someone could come up with a better title - might be a bit too wordy..?

[LauraT]

Good idea

[Jenny]

Re-arranged our bookshelf to show the current group reads and added 'Persuasion' as well.

@Shirley, that ain't a bad suggestion, short and crisp is overrated anyhow ;) (and all I came up with was even longer!)

Thanks Jenny!

Yes, Shirley's is a good title.

[LauraT]

Hi all,

I'm not going to be on here much for a while until I get things sorted. School is so busy and I'm also currently looking for a new job. On top of that an old friend passed away today (on her birthday:() so I'm feeling quite overwhelmed by life at the moment. I will be back to moderating duties in a week or so.

[LauraT]

Don't worry for us Rowena. We're here for you when you need us ...

Sorry to hear that Rowena, I think we all understand when life gets a bit overwhelming...take care and we'll see you when you're ready...

[[deleted user]]

I'm sorry to hear about about your friend Rowena :( i totally understand the overwhelmed feeling, thats why I've been kind of absent lately. I hope school goes well and that life gets less stressful for you soon :) and good luck with the job hunt!

[Rowena]

Thank you all for understanding. You all do so much work in the group and I really want to acknowledge that. I am trying to take it easy and hopefully after a week or so away I'll be refreshed and ready for duty:)

[Jenny]

Rowena, I am so sorry about your friend. Take good care of yourself and it'll all still be here when you are back, so don't worry. x

Good luck with the job hunting (and the school work!)...

I'm going to send out a mail with the list of which books we are reading in May :)

[LauraT]

Seen it, thanks

[[deleted user]]

No problemo, I had some free time :) That is me officially finished Uni now woo hoo :) Unfortunately I think I failed that exam (I panicked, I nearly had a panic attack because the questions were so confusing and did not relate to anything she told us to study at all!!).

[LauraT]

Can you try again Becca? Paniking is such a normal occurrence in cases like that!

I will turn the pop up group rules on again for a while, as I've just deleted two more spammers.

[LauraT]

I was wondering what had happened. The rules coming out - and I don't know if it's linked to this, but the font of what I write - not what comes out when I post, but when I'm writing - has changed!!!

I am not having any changes to my font...
