Do we make a quiz, or find one online? I can find a quiz for the adult book if we’re doing that
It would probably be easier to just find one online (as long as it is accurates) I'm not sure how to make a quiz. I can find one for the YA book.
Maybe we could do it for both? Like two separate ones and we would also have more options for the next BOTM because then there would be more winners
I might be able to create a quiz but I would need questions and the answers because I actually haven’t read the BOTM’s
Ok sounds good- I can help with questions/answers for Aristotle and Dante cause I'm reading it right now but I haven't read the other one so Tessa if you could do some questions for that one we should be good.
Also are we still planning on doing a July readathon thing?

Okay cool! And yes we are still doing the readathon
Yay great! When are we planning on doing it? Over one or two weeks in July or the whole month?
I was thinking the whole month but maybe we could let the entire group vote?

Also, about the readathon, I've done one in my group before and can help
You may want to set up the sign ups and everything today, because it will take a while for all the people who want to participate to sign up
Yah I’ve never done a readathon so that any help would be very much appreciated
Okay so how exactly would the sign ups work?
You make a folder for the readathon, and then topics for each part of it. One topic would be for the sign ups, where you would put all the rules. Another topic would be for where you would make the teams and tally the points, and another topic would be for where people would comment that they've finished a book. We should make a few rules on what books can be read, because people sometimes read picture books in the end to get the book count up, which isn't really fair
Also can someone check this link to see what it is, my score for the quiz or the normal quiz? I've taken it before, so it won't let me take it againhttps://www.goodreads.com/quizzes/res...
Oh okay thanks! So I’ll put some rules on the lengths of the books, so would 150 as the minimum work or should we go higher? Also how about mangas and comics?

The link is just the normal quiz so it works. I’ll put the sign ups for the readathon later today because I have some errands to run but it will definitely be up in a few hours, and let me know if there are some more rules that I need to know about as well
Alright thanks! The rules should just be the books that count, and the dates of the beginning and end of the readathon.
Awesome guys! Sorry I disappeared for a while there :P
I'm finding a quiz for the YA book now...

I’m also going to broadcast a message to let everyone know that sign ups have been posted
Okay so I sent the message but I totally forgot to add in the schedule for the June Challange Week and I can’t send another one so can someone send out a message about that please! All you have to say is that it will be taking place from June 25th to June 26th and that if they have any suggestions for next month to message one of the moderators and that because we have a dual BOTM that there will be 2 separate challenges and therefor more winners. This is the schedule: Challenge Week Schedule:
June 25th: 100 word review
June 26th: Meme day
June 27th: Casting
June 28th: Cover Design
June 29th: Trivia Quiz
Also sorry about forgetting it just totally slipped my mind
Also I got a question about the readathon and I just wanted to double check it, the readathon is going to be in a competition format correct?
I'll send out a broadcast message about the challenge week now.
Yep it can be a competition- we are doing teams right?

Alright thanks and yah we’re doing teams
Hey! So I was thinking that I should close up readathon sign ups by the end of the day on the 28th and have everyone put into teams by the next day and then on the 30th I can make locked threads for challenges and stuff like that and open them on the first when we start. I was also thinking that maybe we could have a thread for tracking your books when you finish them and maybe like a “goals” thing so people can enter in the books they want to read during the readathon, what do you guys think?
That sounds great! I like the goals idea
I'm working on questions for the quiz for challenge week for the YA book now, so I'll put a link when I'm done

And we’ll use the link I posted above for the RWARB quiz. It’s pretty accurate
Hey guys! So I got this question about the readathon and I don’t know how to answer it so what do you guys think? The question was “ Who will evaluate finished books are suitable for the competition and how?”
Uhhh I have no idea what they mean 😬
I guess maybe like which books work for the mini challenge thingys?

Also I think I'm gonna send out a broadcast reminding about the challenge weeks (since not many people have put their entries) and some other reminders
Hey so I was just wondering on how exactly are we going to be making the teams? Would be just see how many people signed up and split them up randomly or are we doing it another way?
Yeah I'd say maybe just count the number of people then do it randomly. About how many people should we have per team?
I just counted 42 people including myself so maybe 6 teams of 7?
Okay I’ll make them right now and I’ll number them and then maybe they could choose a team name and I can switch it out with the number
Oh and also will you also be participating Natalie?
Sure! Sorry I forgot to sign up - are you joining in too?
Yah and that’s alright I’ll add you in
Yay thanks! Maybe there could be some sort of theme to the team names
Which types of themes did you have in mind?
Haha I have no idea 😂 Uhh maybe like each team is named after a popular ya book/series/character or something? - what were you originally thinking for team names?
Ohhh I really like that idea! I was just think we could let them discuss and pick anything that was appropriate but I like your idea better
OR, like Team Shadowhunters (please put me on that team), Team Hogwarts, Team Half-Bloods, etc
Sure! That's a good idea- Are you doing challenge week for both books or just the YA one?
