Wish I could help you Hallie! Keep faith (as Aaron said), be patient.

Al (al-h) | 271 comments I know I can't help you, Hallie, nor can I possibly understand what you're going through, but whatever it is, I want you to know that this Goodreads group is absolutely amazing. You've done something truly spectacular setting this all up! Being a part of a fantastic group like this is some of the most fun I've ever had. Stay strong and keeping being awesome!

Aw, guys, thank you! :) But I'm not really an amazing person like you think.

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
I'm sure people would beg to differ about me being good friends.

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Thank my parents for that.

I should be proud that I'm an annoying and mean person?


message 1208: by martin eden (new)

martin eden | 405 comments Hallie, you cannot choose your family but you can choose who you want to be. Be confident, humans are made to overcome obstacles so we can improve ourselves. Without ordeals, we couldn't show how good and amazing we are. Try to find the positive aspect in each hardship you face and be proud because you are facing it, you are brave .


message 1209: by Marisa (new)

Marisa Parker Wow a pretty intense discussion before this. This is as good a time as any and more relevant than normally with New Year and all that. Let's be kinder to ourselves. Just accept that you've done a good thing Hallie with this group, because you have. All the best everyone. Be positive in 2017!

Hi Aaron!

Quite a lot of messages for me, huh? Well, I guess I'll say thank you for everything! For joining this group, making it active without me, and everything.... This is the only group I created that is so active and worthy to mention, has 3, 900+ members!


message 1212: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Hm, three years ago, it had less than 10 members!

How are you today?


message 1213: by martin eden (new)

martin eden | 405 comments Hey Hallie! We should have a special challenge when we reach the 4,000 members!

Brooke - Lynn (brookejharms78) | 3 comments hey how is everyone today?


message 1215: by martin eden (new)

martin eden | 405 comments Hi Brooke-Lynn! Not bad. Was at a conference this morning on how to help new teachers to get into the job. It was really interesting and enriching.
What about you?


message 1216: by Marisa (new)

Marisa Parker Very hot here in South Brisbane/ Gold Coast area in Australia. In the shade on the back deck, it says 40 degrees celsius. I don't really like aircon at home so when I go from room to room, I'm switching fans on and off. Probably using more power!


message 1217: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Martin, hm, nice idea! :) But what should we have, though. I have an idea, but I don't know whether you all will like it.


message 1218: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Aaron, well, laughing at my pathetic marks.


message 1219: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Well, I wouldn't say it's the happy kind of laugh.


message 1220: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
The um, pained kind of false laugh. Ow, that must have been bad!


message 1221: by Karin (new)

Karin (hippolicious) Hey Hallie! Did you get home ok?


message 1222: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Aaron, you just nearly fell, right?

Karin, well, I'm still stuck at school :(


message 1223: by Karin (new)

Karin (hippolicious) Really?! aw poor you... :(


message 1224: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Aaron, well, good to know you didn't get hurt!


message 1225: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Ouch that sounds painful! Good thing that wasn't the case this time.


message 1226: by martin eden (new)

martin eden | 405 comments Hi Hallie! I have an idea too for that challenge. We can maybe set a poll for the best idea for the 4,000 member challenge?


message 1227: by Sarah (new)

Sarah  Elizabeth (fadedivy) | 2 comments Good morning everyone! :)

Hello Sarah! :)

Martin, could you pm me your idea so that I can put it up as a poll along with a few more? I'll tell you my ideas as well :)

How's your mum doing?


message 1233: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Glad to know :)

Say, how interesting would a scavenger hunt challenge be?


message 1234: by Karin (new)

Karin (hippolicious) Oh that sounds like fun, Hallie!


message 1235: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Maybe when we hit 4000 members. Just an idea I was wondering whether I should include in a poll.

It won't be like a real scavenger hunt, though.


message 1236: by martin eden (new)

martin eden | 405 comments I'd love to have one Hallie!
