I've downloaded so many books on my phone that I used up all the space xD I could not even update YouTube.

Hallie is the "leader". (Really she makes sure the rest of us don't skin each other! :) ) (She's amazing!!!)

I don't really understand what you mean, but I think the person that you asked is Otis Chandler, the CEO of Goodreads.

Firstly, I'm not a "leader"; I'm a reader, just like the rest of you :) I only created this group and look after it to make sure people joining have no problems. Secondly, my power as a moderator ends as soon as you leave this group page. Thirdly, I'm sure you'd disagree, but the truth is that I'm not actually awesome.

I don't know how good that idea was, but I figured out it was you anyway. Your profile still had "Rumell Khan's Profile" on it, and the structure of your sentences were still the same.

Rich Thomas | 493 comments I'm confused... What happened?

Rich, well, "Layla-Aisha" was Rumell Khan. That is what you wanted to know, right? Because I'm a little confused about a few things too xP

Rumell, very helpful......

As much as I'd like to argue the irrationality in that, I'll resist from doing so, but let me tell you that you're bound to meet adults anyway: in this group and on Goodreads in general.

And Rumell, some of your comments are brash... just think it through before you post it...

Hi Rumell! I'm 36! And I feel sorry for you, you are missing interesting exchanges for sure! I'm working with children, teenagers, young adults and adults, and I can tell you that's really enriching! And not only for me!
And BTW, you're aging too! Don't forget it!

Well, Rumell, I'd really love it if you, like Rich said, think it through before speaking - for the sake of avoiding conflicts resulting from any offensive comments.

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Well, firstly, I don't understand where this popped up from on the first place. Secondly, I should warn you that there are people on Goodreads that bully people through groups without having them on their friends list. So since you're this cautious, I recommend being vary about such people.

Of course, bullies aren't tolerated in this group.

I never add friends. One time my mate added friends he got bullied online. If i was added, I don't know what people might think of me."



That's sad. I'm an old timer but I've been a member of GR for 5 years and have 271 friends. I have never had any problems. Then again I add friends because of groups "we" belong to, shared buddy read partners and also people who have similar reading interests as me after reading reviews.

I'm vary of adding people on my friends list unless I trust them, too. It shouldn't be a problem in this group unless you want to join the challenges that may come in the future.

I get that. There are a lot of fake people in the world and a lot of them are on the internet. Better safe than sorry.

Highly probably. There is a one is a billion chance for Earth to have spawned life. And since there are billions and billions of worlds out there, the chance of aliens/ other life forms is highly possible!

A quick question: To those who have been for at least two months, did you like the previous newsletter without any fancy html or images better, or the one sent out this month?

I used to watch it when I was little! I loved it so much I even tried to wake up early just to watch it :) I'd never judge you based on that because I myself lived on it. I'm preoccupied with other shows right now, though.

It would be easier if I at least knew what books you've read. I mainly read young adult, fantasy, fiction and children's, but there are a few books that were terrible among these genres and I wouldn't want to be recommended ones like that. Here are some that I like:

All the Light We Cannot See
11 Birthdays
To Kill a Mockingbird (it's a classic, but there is no way I'm not recommending it to anyone!)
Anne of Green Gables
Inkheart
The Book Thief

I don't know which you've read, though, but if you want more, feel free to ask :)
