Mod Chat *MODS ONLY*

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

Wow we have a lot of challenges and stuff in this group!

[Gina's]

Cool.

:)

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

I'm SO SO sorry. I was in the middle of SENDING the group message when GR went down again -_- When I get home today from the fair I'll redo it.

[Meghan]

I know I was really annoyed yesterday that the site was down! They never have problems like that!

[Meghan]

I tried a couple times to get back in as well and then it would shut down. Hopefully it won't happen again!

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Yeah, I wanted to update my book and post something for a buddy read and GR was gone :(

[Meghan]

Same! I wanted to write a review and it was just like NOPE! lol

[Gina's]

For a moment I thought that Goodreads had a virus and my internet server saw the website as a threat :S

I'll start the Challenge asap (my first one on Goodreads) I'm excited!!

You could also post this on the Buddy reads thread of the group :)

And I haven't read that one.

[[deleted user]]

What's that?

My choice for MOD BOM is Me,Him, Them, and It by Caela Carter :)

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

My choice :)

[Gina's]

I changed the Chat and Introduction names of the threads in order to make them different from the rest of the groups. And like this the members can know that those threads are from our group.

I can also change them back.

Good night MODS/friends :)

Wow, you are brave, I couldn't do that.

I can't wait for more videos :)

I gave you a thumb up.

[Anna (Unquenchable Reads)]

Thanks Gina! :)

[Meghan]

I feel the same way Hannah! It's great to see how this group has evolved and grown to be so big! I love all of our MODS and the way this group operates is amazing. I have seen some groups where no one gets along and there's way too much drama! I love that our group isn't like that! :D

[Gina's]

[Gina's]

9 days and 9,000 pages read for the Challenge, I'm impressed and happy.

Great job, all of the MODS are really creative and constant.

We are the so you like YA?! family and proud :)

[Gina's]

Awesome :)

yeah!! lol

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Hey,
can someone suggest a theme for the Choose me This Challenge? :) I'm sick right now and my head is like empty lol (I even almost forgot I had to post the sign ups now >.< )

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Father's Day sounds like a great idea :) I'll start Sign Ups tomorrow :)

[Gina's]

I've been very busy with university. So sorry if I'm behind answering things or posting updates. Next week will get better.

I wish everyone a great week :)

Greetings!

[Gina's]

Yeah! Cool :)

Great job everyone.

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

I wish more people would comment tho :/ we have like 20 core members :P

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

Yeah that's true :( Also a lot of people sign up for challenges, but never show up again afterwards :(

[Rachel , The Confidant <3]

That's annoying -_-

So when shall I put up polls? And when would you like another group message to come out?

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

I'll put up Sign ups for Choose Me This! Challenge tomorrow (I'm a little late lol), it would be great if you could wait with your message until sign ups are up :)

Well it is a lot of work and I couldn't keep up when I'll have exams, maybe we could do it with books.

I have to repeat at least 2 or 3 times each time the rules of the thing and check if the addition matches or the number of books that they say that have read with the page count...

Maybe we could do like a 2 month Challenge or something like that. My creativity is off right now so I can't give you a Challenge for the moment lol.

:P

[Gina's]

@Mods can someone put on the message for the members that anyone is okay to join the 600,000 page challenge, they just need to add a shelf that has books that they started reading on May 2th.

Because we need more members in order to reach the goal this year :)

Thank you and have a great night or day :)

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

I wasn't so busy this week, since I was sick, so I had a lot time to read :)! (Only good thing about lying in bed all day lol)

[Jasmin, Cookie Monster :)]

I opened Sign Ups for Choose Me this now :) So if someone wants to send around a message, feel free to do it now lol

Hope everyone is doing well :)"

Ditto.

I wish you a great week :)
