Hello I vote for Under the Scarlet Sky; however not sure how to add the cover to the page??
Mod
Halli when I go to vote on the BOTM page I see graphics of books suggested/recommended, I just was wondering how to add Under the Scarlet Sky as my book suggestion for the month...hope this helps to clarify things?
I'd like to talk about the Book's Read link which is given in BOTM. It would be easier to see if a book has been nominated before or not if it were in alphabetical order.But I guess we can just use the bookshelf for browsing.

How about a section based on Christmas since it is a hot topic for this month? Like a temporary folder for Christmas or something and we can have discussion about it or something. We can try having a discussion based on Christmas Presents, What they are planning, or Food. Something along those lines.
Food? Did somebody mention food? What a good idea ;o)
Mod
I will come up with Topic Ideas soon, Would that be okay with you?

Hey, where can we access previous BOTMs? Sorry if this has been answered before or if I am posting in the wrong place.

I have few game suggestions that I like to share.1) Respond in exactly five (5) words
It is like a normal conversation but only using 5 words to respond to each other. No brackets are involved. People shouldn't cheat by using brackets as an escape.

2) What is one thing you like about the person above you?
This is a complimentary game which helps to boost self esteem of others.
3) Would you trade avatars (profile pictures) with the person above you?
I got this idea from a different website I contribute. We often respond yes or no if we want to trade avatars with the person above us. It is a fun game. Necessarily, service users don't have to swap but it is the fun of the game.
4) Before I Die Game
It may sound creepy but it is quite fun. It is a game where we finish the sentence: 'Before I Die, ...'
5) Put the poster above you into a tv show
If you had to put the person above you in a TV Show where would it be? It is a fun game.
6) What is on your Ctrl + V?
You can only play the game once within 24 hours. It is where you press Ctrl + V and post.so it is important to remember to take in turns so it doesn't seem like you are the only one playing the game.
7) Associate the person above you with a book genre
Tis is a game I came up with in one of my groups where we associate book genre with the person above us. We use this link just in case:

8) Would you _____ with me?
This is a game where the first person fills in the blank and the second person responds either yes or no and the game flows.
9) Respond with a book title.
This is bit like 'Respond with exactly 5 words' but instead this involves using 'add book/author' above our comment box.
10) Associate the person above you with a colour
This is where we associate the person above us with colour.
I hope you like these suggestions. There is more that I can think of but that's about it.

Hey, I was wondering when the March BOTM will be announced? I am excited to dig in!
Mod
cant we use suggestions for previous months? if S had known about the suggestions, I would have made some. I look forward to these to read books I generally would not have heard of.
Mod
Has the April Suggestions been posted yet? I cant seem to find it, but I am not great with goodreads yet, sorry
Mod
We weren't given the option to make any suggestions… Will be in future months? Just asking because I know this has been a problem in previous months
Mod
I tried to read the rules of the group but they won’t come up for me. I tried a few times.

It should be called Rant. This is where we speak out our minds to things that agitate us really badly. Putting it out there will resolve it. I am pretty sure everyone has somethings that they want to get out because there is no wonder why a lot of people are stressed out. Scientifically it has been proven to calm the person down.
