Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Also, Red, White, and Royal Blue is an adult book. Though it’s being marketed as YA, I have read it and some scenes may not be okay for people in this group who can only read YA.


message 152: by [deleted user] (new)

Ahh really?!?! 😳What do you think we should do about it? Currently it is winning the poll


message 153: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Ooh umm that’s a problem... maybe send out a broadcast message saying that we would be taking it out, OR do a dual BOTM like I did with my group once because our first ever BOTM was open theme and one book, which won, was and adult book


message 154: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh thats a good solution :P . I guess a dual one would be fair, since some people already voted for that and want to read it. Or I guess we could put out another poll asking which of those two ideas the group would rather do- either the dual BOTM or just removing that book completely


message 155: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Yeah that’s a good idea


message 156: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok I'l send that out now


message 157: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Yah I think both solutions would work


message 158: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) There is a tie between two of the prompts in the poll. What do I do?


message 159: by [deleted user] (new)

You mean for the Lighten TBR Shelf prompts? I guess use both?


message 160: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Got it


message 161: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) And I’m gonna say exactly what you did so don’t sue me for plagiarizing lol


message 162: by [deleted user] (new)

Haha that's ok 😂


message 163: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Alright it's done. How does it look?


message 164: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Would the Narnia Chronicles count as time travel


message 165: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Someone's asking


message 166: by [deleted user] (new)

(sorry just got this)
Hmm...that's tough. I've only ever read the first book and that was a long time ago. 😬


message 167: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Okay so I was thinking that maybe for the writing folder we could add a thread for like people to share their writing platforms if they have one, I’ve seen this in other groups and I thought if people were to share their platforms like Wattpad or stuff it could be easier to have access to their stories. What do you guys think?


message 168: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Yeah that’s a good idea!


message 169: by [deleted user] (last edited May 27, 2020 09:22AM) (new)

That sounds good! Do you want to add it Sarah?


message 170: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Also, should we send out a broadcast message for the lighten tbr shelf challenge, because a lot of people said that they didn't know it had started last time. Since we're still accepting participants after the challenge has started, we can send out the message the day it starts that way people know that it has started and they won't forget


message 171: by [deleted user] (new)

Yep we should definetely do that. Should we also send one out now reminding people about it and to sign up, and maybe include some other general updates?


message 172: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Sure!


message 173: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok cool I'll do that now :)


message 174: by [deleted user] (new)

Also are we gonna do the readathon thing in July?


message 175: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) I think so


message 176: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok that was a really long broadcast message 😂


message 177: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Haha


message 178: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Yah we are still doing the readathon and I just added the thread for the writing


message 179: by [deleted user] (new)

ok cool


message 180: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Someone's asking if the books have to be from our TBR shelf, and if we can add books to it after the challenge starts


message 181: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Are we going to be doing a BOTM for July during the readathon or no? I just want to know because I have the competition winners and I wanted to know which month they will be choosing for before I post the winners


message 182: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) I thought we were


message 183: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Me too but I just want to know for sure


message 184: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Okay


message 185: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah we will probably still do the BOTM


message 186: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Okay thanks! Also one more question, the same person won 3 different challenges so should they be able to pick one book to be entered into the next BOTM poll or two or three so there are more options?


message 187: by [deleted user] (new)

Hmm I'd say maybe two or three? That way everybody still has some choice and can help pick out of the winner's choices


message 188: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Okay I’m going to go with 2 because I think that’s a good number for now


message 189: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok! Sounds good :)


message 190: by [deleted user] (new)

Maybe we should do an "open" theme for the July BOTM? That might make it easier since the competition winners are picking the entries.


message 191: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Yah okay that would be cool!


message 192: by [deleted user] (new)

Yay! Today the Lighten TBR Challenge starts! Tessa do you wanna send out an announcement or something?


message 193: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Sure I just woke up after breakfast I’ll be on my computer and then I’ll do all that stuff👍
Just realized you didn’t need to know all the background info😂


message 194: by [deleted user] (new)

Haha sounds good😂


message 195: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello mods!
We received a suggestion that seems like it would be pretty cool to do for our BOTMs :
"Arrange a quiz competition by using the poll. You will create polls asking some questions on BOTM ( like MCQ test). The person(s) who can give most correct answers will win."

What do you all think?


message 196: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) I really like that idea!


message 197: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Sure. Or we could just make a quiz


message 198: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah a quiz would probably be much easier than polls.


message 199: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Yeah


message 200: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Hey guys, so for the quiz would that be for the challenge week? I’m currently organizing the schedule and I just wanted to know
