Hmm... That's so weird Hannah... Are you sure you're just demoting then from mod status or are you deleting them?

I'm want a buddy reads with you. :)


message 355: by Gina's (new)

Gina's (ginasgoodreads) | 2292 comments Dear Mods I just erased 3 inappropriate comments on one of the threads because it's a YA group. I didn't tell anything to the ones that posted it but next time I'll send a message with a warning that it is a YA group and such comments are not allowed. They have to respect the group's rules or they should leave.

For now no complaints have raised so I just wanted that you all know what happened.

I wish everyone a great weekend btw. Tomorrow I go back to the city and I'll start being active again :)

Greetings.

Sounds cute, but I think I don't want to state in my title, that I'm from Europe lol

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments That's wonderful! I'm trying to catch up on buddy-reads as well!

How was everyone's weekend?"


Welcome back Hannah :)

Ditto for the buddy reads.


message 376: by Gina's (new)

Gina's (ginasgoodreads) | 2292 comments Soon we'll reach 600 members, I was thinking on a 600,000 pages challenge.

It's about finishing reading a book and putting how many pages it has until we reach 600,000 as a celebration of 600 members.

Or we could do other challenge to celebrate this.

What do you mods/friends think about this??

Greetings everyone.

Jasmin (sakuchu) | 964 comments Mod
Isn't normally the 600,000 pages a group goal? Like Person A reads 50 pages, Person B reads 50 pgs = 100 pages to the goal

Reading 600,000 pages on your own sounds way too hard lol

Wow that as a prize?? Cool!

600,000 with the participation of all of the members of the group that want to do this challenge.

When we reach 600,000 the person that read the most wins the ebook.

The members have to put a "request" for the sing up and then start reading and edit the comment while finishing books and adding page numbers.

We could verify this by going to their red shelf.

Maybe some books that are popular but some haven't read yet. Maybe we could use as reference the buddy reads that haven't been made or something like that.

Definitely a YA book genre.


message 381: by Gina's (new)

Gina's (ginasgoodreads) | 2292 comments Or we make a special challenge so the system can track down the books (no re-reads allowed) in order to be accurate.

Sorry guys, so exhausted. I was at this long droning awards ceremony tonight and just got back. I promise, promise, promise that I will send out that message tmrrw! I am in the middle of changing the Books of the Month now.

Rachel  (APCB Reviews) (gr8rach) | 789 comments Mod
Whoever is in charge of the BOTM, SOTM and other stuff, make sure to make the threads for them! If it's not done by tmrrw I can add them.


message 386: by Meghan (new)

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments I'm confused a bit on what I am supposed to do or if I'm supposed to do anything


message 387: by Rachel , The Confidant <3 (new)

Rachel  (APCB Reviews) (gr8rach) | 789 comments Mod
I meant the threads for the books that are chosen.


message 388: by Rachel , The Confidant <3 (new)

Rachel  (APCB Reviews) (gr8rach) | 789 comments Mod
Oh and I just set up the schedule thing (kind of) for the Selection SOTM. May 1-10 is The Selection. 11-20 is The Elite. 21-31 is The One.


message 389: by Meghan (new)

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments So tonight I should put the threads up for BOTM and for the MOD BOTM??

Or are they already done for May?


message 390: by Rachel , The Confidant <3 (new)

Rachel  (APCB Reviews) (gr8rach) | 789 comments Mod
If you could do that tonight that would be great hon! Just say something like "Gone is our May book of the month. Discuss here!!"


message 391: by Meghan (new)

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments Okay, so just to be clear... I need to make threads for Elanor and Park and Legend?

Which one is MOD BOTM and which one is BOTM?


message 392: by Meghan (new)

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments I did the thread for the Mod BOTH but I'm a little confused as to where the Scheduled BOTM goes... maybe I'm just missing the thread when I'm going through?


message 393: by Meghan (new)

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments Never mind I found it ! Okay, I put up both threads for MOD BOTM and Scheduled BOTM they're good to go :D


message 394: by Meghan (new)

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments No problem :) I just wasn't completely sure what I was assigned to lol I'm just so happy that next week is my last week of the semester and I can catch up on all the buddy-reads and just realx and enjoy reading for fun :D


message 395: by Gina's (new)

Gina's (ginasgoodreads) | 2292 comments 3 more members to reach 600 :P

Sure we could do one each.

Yeah, I will invite more friends here too.


message 398: by Gina's (new)

Gina's (ginasgoodreads) | 2292 comments The 600,000 one because I don't have any tangible gifts to give just creativity :P

Should we use the Create a challenge source?

Or just the thread? Or both?

I think that the Create Challenge tool can be useful to verify the books (not rereads) instead of verifying each book for each member (this would definitely save us time)

Greetings and thank you for the opportunity :)

I actually totally forgot I had to add a thread for the current BOTM lol
