sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) ^ yah that would be really cool! Should I just name the groups then?


message 252: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Yeah, but people may not know a certain fandom, so maybe stick with a general theme, like fruits? IDK, for my next group readathon, (we do one every month) I was going to pick fruits.


message 253: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) That is true, maybe we could do like summer foods or activities because it’s the summer readathon so maybe like Team Lemonade or Team Beach Party?

Ohh yes! That's perfect!


message 255: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Alright great I’ll make threads for each group then


message 256: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Sorry but I have one last quick question. Are we going to to the teams so that all the books they finish individually are all counted together and whichever team has the most books wins?


message 257: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Yep


message 258: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Okay thanks!


message 259: by [deleted user] (new)

Ooo yes I love the summer idea!!


message 260: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Hey I just posted all the team threads, should I send a message telling people which team they are in and that the teams have been posted?


message 261: by [deleted user] (new)

Yep that would be great :)
Btw I love the names that you chose


message 262: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Okay and thanks I like them too!


message 263: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) So I’m making the challenge prompts list for the readathon and wanted to ask if you had any prompts that would be cool? I have 10 right now.


message 264: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) I was also think that I could do maybe a “completed books” thread that way it’s easier to see how many books from each team there are at the end


message 265: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Where do we put the books we’ve finished?


message 266: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) I’m think of making a thread for that called completed books so they can put the title of the book and what team they are from, it should be up by tomorrow


message 267: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Alright got it someone was asking

Maybe there could be some summer themed ones? Or like a "read a book relating to your team name" type thing?


message 269: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Oh I like that one, I’ll add it in


message 270: by [deleted user] (new)

Quick question- if someone completes one of the challenge prompts, would they record the book in both the challenge prompt section and the books finished, or only the challenge prompt thread?


message 271: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) They would do it in both


message 272: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok cool


message 273: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Okay can you tell me one more time who gets recognized as a winner in the lighten tbr shelf challenge?


message 274: by [deleted user] (new)

Last time we did the top three people who read the most books (like 1st place goes to the person with the largest number and so on, if more than one person had the same number there could be ties) and also a winner who read the largest variety of prompts


message 275: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Alright thought so


message 276: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Natalie I updated the currently reading for the group in case you were wondering how it happened


message 277: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) I was wondering if for the challenge week did we want the winners to choose a theme as well or have the group choose a theme and the winners choose the books?


message 278: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) The second one


message 279: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Okay, thanks!


message 280: by [deleted user] (new)

Thanks Tessa!

Yeah let the group choose the theme and the winners choose the books :)
Or if you want the winners could choose the different themes to be entered into a poll and the group chooses the books


message 281: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Hey do you guys think we should have team scoreboards for the readathon?


message 282: by [deleted user] (new)

Ooo yes good idea! That way everyone can easily see how many books they have read as a team


message 283: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Alright great! I’ll make them right now


message 284: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) So you know how the challenge weeks have low participation? We could make one of the prompts ‘participate in at least one day of the challenge week’ and maybe even do ‘if your entire team does then it counts as 2 books more?’


message 285: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) That would be a great idea! And would the prompts be the readathon prompts right?


message 286: by [deleted user] (new)

Haha yes!!! I love it!


message 287: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Yep!


message 288: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello!
So I was thinking I would put out a spot to suggest August BOTM themes today- also, since me and Tessa were like pretty much the only people who did June's challenge week, do you all think we should do book suggestions that way, or just open it to the whole group?


message 289: by Tessa (new)

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


message 290: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok I'll put out the theme suggestions now


message 291: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) I think we should do it open for the whole group since not many other people did the challenge week


message 292: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok great the theme suggestion thread is out now and I think I put that it would close around July 19th (?) so then after the theme is chosen everyone can suggest books


message 293: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Yah that will work!


message 294: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Okay so for the team challenge week thing, do individual members AND the entire team count as a book? For example, if there’s 5 people in the team and they all did it, that’s five points, or 2 points, or seven points? Hope this makes sense.

Also, for the same thing, can we count out members who haven’t participated?


message 295: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) I would say seven points if there are five and yes, if members aren’t participating then you can count them out


message 296: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Perfect! Would you mind sending a message to the group about that?


message 297: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Sure I’ll definitely do that!


message 298: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Hey so I was thinking we could start the Challenge Week a week earlier rather than the last week of the month and then close entires on the 31st that way people have two weeks to do the challenges and there is more time for more people to join. What do you guys think?


message 299: by Tessa (new)

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


message 300: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Okay great! I’m going to plan the schedule soon
