[Meghan]

I know! It's that weird period on in between ness lol

[Meghan]

House of Night but I know Bloodlines is coming up next Sunday! No has really been posting on the page so I'm a little worried maybe everyone forgot about the Bloodlines buddy read :(

[Meghan]

Well I have the buddy read up on here for it that we made so I'm hoping that as it get's closer to the date that we start Bloddlines maybe people will start responding again and such. We're supposed to start next Sunday, so there's still time :)

[Meghan]

Awesome!!! How's everyone's weekend going?!? :)

[Meghan]

That's good! I spent the weekend in Albany with my boyfriend for valentines day! I actually ended up being stuck there for a day longer then I was supposed to! Which wasn't too bad :p lol

Hmm... Well first off it's awesome we have 100 members!! Maybe we should do something's with the number like 100 reasons why you love to read or something like that?? :)

[Meghan]

Albany New York actually :)

I was thinking that it would be a one by one thing until we get to 100 and then picked our favorite top five or three out of the 100.

[Meghan]

Awwh thanks! <3

I'm so excited to start reading House of Night series with you! It's a weekish away I can't believe it!

[Meghan]

Hannah I love the idea of the MODS Hunger Games I was just reading the rules and I think that's such a cute, great way to do it! :D

[Tachi]

The challenges seem really fun:D

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

[Meghan]

Hey Rachel!! Welcome to this wonderful group of MODS :D Sooo happy to have you!

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

Hey Meghan!! Thanks for the warm welcome :D

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Hi :) (I hope it's alright to write here *not sure* lol)

Do you think people would participate in a writing game? I love those, but wasn't able to find one in any group I joined :( (just in one and apparantly no one wrote there anymore..)
For those, who don't know what I'm talking about: One person starts a story and then it's continued by everyone else. But one person is only allowed to write like 2-3 sentences each, until someone else writes something and so on.
But I'm not sure if the people in this group, mainly readers, would be intrested in participating in a game like that.

I also like the scavenger hunt idea that was mentioned in the suggestion topic! :)

[Meghan]

I would love the idea of a writing game Jasmin!! I used to do a lot of things like that as an English major in college it was a lot of fun!

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

ooh, I love the new group pic!

[Meghan]

Me too!! It's awesome! :)

[Tachi]

Yep, it's awesome!:) I'm sorry for not being that active. It's gone from a couple of schoolwork to a lot of schoolwork that I have to catch up on. I also have to catch up on reading.

[Tachi]

Not really. It's gotten more hectic:/ I have to get everything in by next week, and it's so much>.< I'm going to have to start attending tutoring as well. I'm trying my best to get it all over with, though:)

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Yeah, I always hated how my english teacher gave us a big pile of homework during the holiday.. I mean I never really had a holiday, where I had to do nothing! :(

And I have a suggestion for the scavenger hunt:
You post 10-15 words and then people have 2 options to win:
Option 1: Find a book with the words
Option 2(I think that one might be a little bit more difficult, but maybe also more fun): The words were picked from a particular book, so you have to find out which book they came from. In order to make it a little bit easier everyone is allowed to ask 3 Question, but the person, who posted the words is only allowed to answer with "Yes" or "No"

The winner can decide whether he/she wants to post new words or if a mod should do it again.
What do you think?:)

And I'll start a writing game later! :)

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Yeah I can do it, since it won't be a lot of work, when other people pick the next words :) Just have to look for a good book with a lot of contradicting words in it now! lol

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

I started the Scavenger Hunt as a game now, since it's not like a real challenge:

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

great! Thanks Jasmin :)

[Meghan]

Awesome, Jasmin you're the best! :)

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

hey, I'm updating BOTM right now... So it's Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and Throne of Glass right? Those are 1st and 2nd in the polls.

[Meghan]

I believe so, Hannah would definitely know though! :)

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

oh okay :)

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

I like the 2.

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Damn, I just finished Throne of Glass, why does that one have to be BOTM? lol

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Did you ever think about a mod pick as BOTM?
Like the first BOTM is the one that got the most votes and the second BOTM is one that the mods picked. That way people might actually want to read that book lol.

At least I think I saw something similar in another group.(Not exactly sure anymore though)

[Meghan]

I really like that idea that Jasmin has about the BOTM! I noticed that as well about our BOTM's and this would be a great way to add some variety :D

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Hannah wrote: "Great :). So do you think 1 or 2 books from each mod?"

Will all mods be included? (I'm talking about the ones that are taking part in the "hunger games" and the regular ones)
If it's all 1 book, if only regular mods get to choose maybe 2, but I'd prefer 1.
I always have a feeling that, if there are so many choices, you never get a good result. e.g. you have 10 great books and maybe 20 people vote, if your unlucky you might get 2 votes for each book, because people aren't able to choose. If there are maybe only 4 books, you'd get a more precise result. Otherwise it would be better to start with 10, then narrow down 10 to like 2 (the two that got most of the votes) and then vote again.

And you guys write so much! O.O

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

Hannah wrote: "Ok great :). Thanks lots again!"

anytime ;)

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Oh. Actually I thought the mod hunger games would be more of a long time plan. April is so soon! lol
