Riya/Jordyn Cubbyhole!!

[Riya]

I felt like as head moderators me and Jordyn could also get our own cubbyhole :)
This way we don't have to constantly have 100 messages going! :P

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Haha yes that's smart!!

[Riya]

Haha thanks :)

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Are we having a BOTM and SOTM? If so which are we doing 1st? And how many books for BOTM?

[Riya]

I was thinking we can do 1 SOTM at the same time as either 1 or 2 BOTM. What about you?

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

That sounds good!

[Riya]

Great! Let's see how the polls go then :)

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Hey so do you want to or me to send out the monthly group message? Last month I sent it around this time. We should tell everyone about BOTM and SOTM and I put the buddy read signups up so tell everyone about that..should I just make a list?

[Riya]

Yeah that'd be awesome! I think making a list could be helpful.

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Okay! Do you want to send it out then?

[Riya]

Haha I can do it. Is there anything else other than BOTM, SOTM, Buddy Read Signups, and September Challenges?

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

-BOTM poll
-SOTM poll
(Are those up yet?
-Sept. Buddy read
-Copy me challenge
-book game shows
(They start in September)

[Riya]

Yup- the polls are up! And that looks good to me- I'll send it now.

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Oh I had this idea:
What if we did like a pen pal type of thing with everyone? Like whoever wanted to join we randomly pair up and then they through messaging or email(if they are comfortable) and get to know each other. Like a great way to make a good friend on good reads. And i don't know what else but seemed like a cool thought haha

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Okay thanks!

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

First game show will be TFIOS by the way. But no dates yet.

[Riya]

That sounds like a great idea! If you want to set it up now I can wait to send the message out?
And yeah- maybe we could start by asking everyone a question or two and then try to match up similar people?

[Riya]

Okay! I'll mention that, and I'll tell everyone to keep an eye on the schedule- we should probably set that up soon?

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Okay I'll set it up right now and then you can send the message out. That's a good idea! So what questions should we ask?

[Riya]

Perfect :)

And we should definitely have a book related question- either favorite book or favorite book world to visit! And maybe something fun like favorite food or country they want to visit or something?

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Should I make the schedule or Erin? Her job is games and Gameshows but it'd be better to send out the message tonight so.. I'm fine with doing it(:

[Riya]

I think we should send out the message and just say that the schedule will be created soon. And then we can ask Erin to do it, but if she can't the two of us can sort it out!

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Favorite book
Favorite genre
Character you look up to
Favorite trait in a friend
Hobbies

These okay? Also, how many questions should there be?

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Okay!

[Riya]

I'd say that's a perfect questions list. 5 is a good amount since it isn't too much, but it's still enough to choose partners from!

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Okay great(: Which folder would it fit in though??

[Riya]

We could do a new folder and try to have new pen pals every month? Or we could put it in All About You or Challenges??? Not really sure....

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Every month sounds cool. Or every other month to build a more fun friendship?
I guess a new folder? But there would only be like two threads.. One with sign ups and one with partners.
Or is that worth it? Because it doesn't really for anywhere else

[Riya]

Yeah every other month works!!

And yeah there's nothing wrong with a new folder.

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Okay I'll add it now(: you can send out the message now!! Don't forget links please (:

[Riya]

Great- typing it up now :D

[Riya]

Just waiting for the Pen Pal link and I'll send it!

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Oh sorry Teen wolf just came on and Ahhh Parish!! Doing it now haha sorry

[Riya]

Haha that's why I'm trying to get the message out- so I can start watching :D

[Jordyn, Organizer Lieutenant]

Oh sorry!!!! Its up now
