Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Can we please have another Lighten TBR Shelf Challenge soon I really want to do it again


message 102: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Maybe we should put out a poll and ask people when they want to do it next


message 103: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) So for the readathon how would the teams work?

First we could ask people if they're participating or not, and they'd comment their names, and then we'd make teams randomly. That's what I did for my group


message 105: by [deleted user] (new)

Sure we can make a poll


message 106: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Okay thanks!


message 107: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Sorry I sounded like a little kid but I really did like the TBR challenge


message 108: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Do you want me to do the poll?


message 109: by [deleted user] (new)

Haha that would be great :D


message 110: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Alright!


message 111: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) It's done


message 112: by [deleted user] (new)

Cool!


message 113: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Most people want the Lighten TBR Shelf challenge in June, what do you think?


message 114: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) We could incorporate the Pride Month challenge with this as the prompts


message 115: by [deleted user] (new)

That sounds good! What type of prompts relating to that were you thinking? (do you mean do it just with the letters thing?)


message 116: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Yes, with the letters


message 117: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) And we could also do another set of prompts for people who want something different, or they are a certain religion and they can't do LGBTQ


message 118: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok cool! I'll put up sign ups about a week or so before the challenge would start to give people plenty of time to sign up.


message 119: by [deleted user] (new)

Haha I'm probably not gonna do another spreadsheet tho that was a lot of work


message 120: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Haha yeah looked like it 😂


message 121: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey guys!
So one of our members said that they want to do an open writing challenge type thing, where they have the opportunity to write short stories and poems and stuff.
What do you all think?


message 122: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) I think that's a great idea! I think a lot of our members are also writers so I think we will have a good number of participants


message 123: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok cool! I'll make a writing folder. Maybe we could have one thread for writing anything you want, and another with some different prompts and ideas. That way people can choose and if they already have an idea, write about that, but if they need some inspiration they can use a prompt.
I don't know that's just an idea. ;)


message 124: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Yah do it it's a great idea!


message 125: by [deleted user] (new)

We have some more suggestions!
K M Abiduzzaman put three suggestions in the suggestion box thread- https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I approved the last two, but need you all's thoughts on the first one. It would be kinda hard to do and organize, so I want to know what our other mods think :)


message 126: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) What kind of chats would they be? Like zoom, or what? I don’t think my parents would allow me to do that since I don’t know y’all in person, and I don’t think others parents would either. Maybe ask him what kind of chats he means


message 127: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah my parents wouldn't let me do zooms either. I guess he just means like a chat on a thread? I'll ask


message 128: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) He said threads can’t justify chatting properly...


message 129: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Didn’t he?


message 130: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah I'm not quite sure what he means. I asked him so I guess we just wait and see.

LOL when you asked him about the thing, he said he did not mean a zoom meeting. You said nothing about a zoom meeting on that. He's been looking at these conversations😂

Yeah. true.
The website says this 'Moderators only' folder has 65 unique views though there are only 5 moderators. So I am not the only one.

SORRY for the trespassing. :)


message 133: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Lol it's fine


message 134: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) So most people said that they want the next TBR shelf challenge in June. Do you want me to set it up? I;m going to do exactly what you did for the April one😂


message 135: by [deleted user] (new)

If you want to that would be great, especially if I'm gonna be running this chat thing and BOTMs :)


message 136: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Alright got it *thumbs up emoji*


message 137: by [deleted user] (new)

If you need any help though just let me know


message 138: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Alright I did the first part. Is it okay that I locked the rest of the topics so no one gets confused? I'm trying to do it exactly as you did, so I'm gonna wait for prompts to be done and then I'll do the sign up thing, hopefully before June.


message 139: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Alright, so I deleted anything unrelated to the prompts in the thread. Should I send a broadcast message to everyone tomorrow (because I already used up today's) and clarify what I mean? That'll hopefully solve anything. Or do you want to?


message 140: by [deleted user] (new)

That sounds good! You can do it if you want :)


message 141: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) I don’t want to mess up again...


message 142: by [deleted user] (new)

It'll be fine. If you want, send your message just to me first, then send it to the other members. That way we can make sure it describes it good and doesn't have the possibly of offending anyone.


message 143: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Alright I just did that


message 144: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) So I have an idea- maybe we can put a poll with a couple of the prompts I've selected and the top 5 can be the ones we use? So people like the prompts that are picked and participate more


message 145: by [deleted user] (new)

Ooo yessss that's a good idea!!!


message 146: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Okay so for the readathon we could maybe incorporate prompts into that like the prompt challenge but they would be a little different for example maybe one could be like read a book with the color blue on it or read a book in 5-8 hours and that could be one challenge and we could maybe do a point system where for each challenge you complete you get a certain amount of points to keep it entertaining. What do you guys think? And if you like the idea do you have any challenge ideas?


message 147: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) You could do a readathon for a specific genre. I just finished a readathon in my group, and a lot of the people suggested doing specific themed readathons


message 148: by [deleted user] (new)

That sounds really fun! It's something unique and different so I think everyone will like it. I don't have any specific ideas right now but I will keep on thinking.


message 149: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh yeah so according to the poll, the majority of people seem to want to try and do that monthly chat thingy.


message 150: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Alright sounds good!
