Mod Chat *MODS ONLY*

[Meghan]

Hey Everyone! I don't know if you guys know who The Vamps are but my sister is very obsessed. She has the chance to actually video chat with them if she gets enough likes on this video. It would mean a lot to me if you guys could take the time out of your busy lives and like this video my sister, Katie O'Connor made for this contest!

Just click on the link and like

YAY :)

Just saw that an author wants to provide some books for an buddy read and a Q&A
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Maybe we can promote it a little bit (like mentioning it in a group message) and read it with a larger group of people? :) (and maybe do a Q&A afterwards)

Not sure how good those books are though lol

[Riya]

YAY!!!!!!
We should set up some more fun stuff! And im in contact with a publishing company that probably will give away a few books so we can have a raffle!

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

When would you like the polls to go up?

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

sure! I'm up for that :)

[Meghan]

That sounds really cool!

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

Hey Hannah! I drafted something to post on the Meet the moderators page. I'll wait for you to post yours first since you're head mod :)

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

I'm in, too :) Just not sure what I'll do yet O.O (I'm kind of bad at those introduction stuff.. lol)

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

nah I'll wait for you :)

[Gina's]

I wish you girls a wonderful week :)

[Riya]

Hey guys! I have a HUGE one for another group (where each mod got their own thread actually), so I'm gonna cut it down and post it. And I don't think it really matters how long it is, so if yours is way longer or shorter than mine I bet it's fine!

[Riya]

Same!!

Also- Kristen Simmons (the author of Article 5) is willing to answer some interview questions I send her from people in groups I moderate, so if you guys are interested I can make a thread for that in this group! If so, should I make a new folder? And I'd want to send out a group message ASAP (so I can send her the questions within a week), so we could also put all that together!

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

hey all! Switched out all the books on the shelves and added threads for everything except the scheduled monthly read (Anna and the French Kiss) because I don't know the schedule... Also I wasn't sure the dates we should use for each book of the SOTM (Maze Runner) so you can change the dates I have for each book set on the shelves if you'd like. I'm going to NYC tonight and will be back Saturday night so I'll send out a Group Message on Sunday or Monday at the latest! Sound good?

[Riya]

Okay- have fun in NYC!!!!!

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

Thanks Riya :)

[Meghan]

Have an amazing time in NYC Rachel, soak up everything my wonderful city has to offer you! :)

Cool.

Have fun :)

[Gina's]

Do you girls have any ideas for the elimination game?

We already had, book cover, couples, buddy reads and favorites.

Which topic should we do next?

Thank you for the suggestions :)

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Finally I'll have my last exam on Monday, so I can do my stuff again, too :)

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Why is everyone so fast with the MOD BOTM choices? I don't know what to choose >.<

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

I'll recommend Soulless :) (I'll read that this month though lol)

[Gina's]

Hannah wrote: "Thanks Gina :). And could you go ahead and post the Color and Copy Me Challenges for September since the current ones are july-August.

After those 2 are posted we will be ready for Group message..."

Okay :)

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

I'm unexpectedly atill busy :( >.< But in September everything will be better.. (Hopefully lol)

I've still got to finish an assignment until September 1st (It has to be 15 pages long and I have 2 T,T lol), but afterwards I can do stuff for the group again like start SOTM topics and so on O.O (So I'll do my stuff for September)

I'll also try to post a new Choose Me This Challenge before the end of the month! :)

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

polls are up!

[Riya]

Nice Hannah- the group looks a lot cleaner now!

[Meghan]

Good luck Jasmin and nice job cleaning Hannah! :D

Okay, I'll check it soon, thanks for the updates :)

Great weekend to everyone :D

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Now I confidently started a topic for the SOTM and it was last month's SOTM LOL what is this month's SOTM&BOZM? O.O (I put the stuff that was in currently reading into SOTM%BOTM discussions folder)

edit:
Alright I found the real SOTM lol but what is the BOTM? There is a tie >.< And who is in charge of changing the books in the group description/main page? Should I do that, too? (I never had to do it before though)

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Somehow I always forget that suggestion topics have to come up early >.< I kind of always mess it up with the polls XD;
So I'm starting some now O.O

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

My choice:

I'll nominate:

We wanted to do a new Board Challenge anyway, just with all the stuff going on it was kind of forgotten I suppose lol

But about the anniversary:
How about doing a Team Challenge, where a new theme is called every week and everyone has to read a book for that theme within two weeks.
It's hard to explain lol

Let's say for example week one's theme will be werewolves: Every Team picks up a book matching the theme.
One Week later a new theme is announced: love story
Everyone picks another book
When the third theme is announced, you'll have to be finished with the first book, otherwise you'll be kicked out of the challenge.
Winner is the last team standing or the one who finishes first in the last week (let's say maybe 12 weeks?)

It's a little bit more challenging and will require constant activity :)

Or maybe we can somehow include this in a board game..? xD
I'd really like to do a monopoly style board game :D

Another idea like yours:
Trouble/Ludo(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludo_(bo... ) style game and we make 4 or 5 teams with 4 players (let's see how many are willing to participate and we are only taking active people!! Maybe we want to make like 2-3 activity checks beforehand), so every team presents a colour and the team that brings all his people to the goal first wins :)
(I can make a picture for that one easily! :) )

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

Hey all, I'm so sorry but I'm kind of socially dying right now. I haven't been on GR in TWO WEEKS basically. I come on quickly to add a book or two and that's it. Junior year is killing me and I don't have time for anything right now.... I can still do polls and bookshelf but I think I need someone to takeover messages for the time-being until I readjust to school. Sorry to ask, but I'm so weighed down right now. If anyone's willing I'd love you forever. *I love you all anyway though XD*
