Me too, so keen and excited hope it works out.
Just posted the botm and sotm and discussion folders for them. :)
I was wondering if we had a discussion for what are you currently reading. I have seen it in some other groups and it is always pretty popular and regular. A kind of space to talk about the book you are reading though it might not currently be apart of our botm or sotm.
Awesome must not have looked hard enough.
so I've contacted veronica Rossi, Alexandra bracken and neal shusterman lol sorry if I spelled that wrong. but haven't.gotten anything back from them yet
Okay- thanks for trying!! I messaged about a dozen authors and I got 3 replies. One was an automated one from the author's assistant or whatever. Another was just answering my questions that I sent with the message, but refused the interview. And the last worked out! So it's kinda hit-and-miss!
yea I will def do some more hopefully tomorrow. who all did u send?
I sent to: Susan Ee, Kristen Simmons, Jennifer E Smith, Neal Shusterman, Ruta Septys, Sarah J Maas, Michael Grant, Maggie Stiefvater, and Gayle Forman. I think that's it?
Wow, that's a lot Riya! Anything I can do to help?
Haha nah it's fine. Just message any authors you feel are popular YA people and are on Goodreads :) Or through their website! You don't have to of course, but it's always nice when you end up talking with an author :D Trust me- it's SOOOO cool :PAnyways, I recommend messaging Jennifer L Armentrout since I know people have gotten replies from her before. Same goes for Lauren Oliver. If you guys don't want to though, I've read books from both of them and I'm willing to message them as well :)
did Kristen respond to the questions get? I'm excited to see her response. and yes soooooo cool when they reply. I tweeted about how awesome the chaos walking series was and Patrick ness liked it. lol I about fell over. I went crazy and was telling my husband... he was like OK... that's cool... lol
A couple days ago she sent me her personal email since she checks it a bit more often, and I sent them to her last night. So hopefully she replies soon!And woah that's AWESOME!
Haha I didn't even know you were married Alison! And ha I would freak out with you!
:) yes ma'am married with 4 kids :) he's a good sport though, he always listens to me freak out about my books, and he always goes to all my book turned movies :) and usually ends up liking them lol.
that's awesome. seriously, way kool!!!
Wow- 4 kids?!?!? How old are they?And that's really nice of him :)
5yr old who is about to.turn 6 and twins that are about to turn 3 and a 6 month old
so is there anything else we should.be doing?
The only thing I can think of is sending out a message for the month!
And also, we should create more discussions to the Book Discussion folder and include a link to that in the folder. And we need to create a nomination thread for next month's BOTM and SOTM!
I noticed that a few of the chats have been frozen, is there a reason for this and are they going to be resumed or maybe deleted. Secondly do we have a reading habits discussion seen it before pretty cool?
Which chats have been frozen!?!??!And I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Do you want to make a discussion?
Bit busy now but I will get back to you on those chats soon. And yeah I was thinking of making a discussion.
These are the frozen discussions that I have noticed.https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
That's all I noticed.
Thinking about making the game / discussion within the next week.
I think these are mainly just cause people shouldn't be posting in them? I didn't freeze the topics, but I think those are fine frozen.
Okay cool. I like double checking with these sort of things.
