sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Haha no problem! Btw I just sent it

Hey! So I was thinking maybe for the August Challenge Week Winner they could suggest themes to be entered into the poll to mix it up a bit?


message 353: by [deleted user] (new)

Also for an October challenge, I could lead a team challenge revolving around like ghost stories, horror books, spooky things, and all since Halloween is coming up


message 354: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Ooh yah I really like the October Halloween idea! As for the theme I would agree but we only had one winner who won every challenge so I think for this theme the group can choice and then the winners for the next challenge week could choose the theme next time?


message 355: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh haha ok 😂


message 356: by [deleted user] (new)

So then for the October challenge, I'm thinking I'll set it up like a normal readathon just with a Halloween theme unless you guys have any ideas to add on


message 357: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Haha that's what I planned on doing in my group for october


message 358: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) and we're doing holiday themes in november


message 359: by Tessa (new)

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


message 360: by [deleted user] (new)

Ahhh haha hopefully everyone will participate in both your groups and this groups


message 361: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) yeah hahaha


message 362: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey so we have three people who applied to be a mod - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


message 363: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) I can't decide... Any of them would work, in my opinion


message 364: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) I liked the second application we got but honestly yah any of them would work, they are all really great


message 365: by [deleted user] (new)

Haha they were all so good! I'm going to message each of you privately and get your opinions


message 366: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey guys! I'm going to put out the signups for the October readathon today. I'm thinking that it is going to be themed, so books need to be Halloween/fall themed, horror, thriller, supernatural, or ghost stories. I'm also going to do prompts like from the last readathon we did.
Any other suggestions or things to add?


message 367: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) that's perfect!


message 368: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) I can be in charge of it if you want


message 369: by [deleted user] (new)

It's fine! I'm able to run this one. Actually Tessa I was wondering if you wanted to do either another Lighten TBR Challenge or come up with a new challenge for November! I realized that we haven't had the TBR challenge in a while, if you wanna do that


message 370: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Alright I'll do that


message 371: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) So, in November, right? I may get busy, but I promise I will try my hardest to do it

Yep if you want to! Otherwise you could run a weeklong challenge or something if that would be easier


message 373: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm gonna put out a broadcast today with some updates- here is what I'm going to include so far, if you can think of anything let me know:

-Sign ups for the readathon
-BOTM October suggestions
-The BOTM discussions from this month
-Congratulations annoucement about our new mod


message 374: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Yep


message 375: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Sounds good!


message 376: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok cool


message 377: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh yeah Sarah do you want to be in the readathon?


message 378: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) I would love to but school has been kind of eating me up so maybe next time?

No problem I totally understand 😂 I wanted to check just in case :)


message 380: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Oh also for the Challenge Week I’m thinking it’ll be from the 26th to the 30th. I’m also going to do a different format where I list all the challenges and what you have to do. They could use this template I’ve been thinking about

Example

Challenge# 1 - Fan-art: (add your choice)
Challenge #2 - Favorite Quote (add your choice)
....

And so forth. I wanted to do this because otherwise the folder will be really crowded. Because it’s a dual BOTM and they would add which book and if they want to do both they can add the stuff for both. If they also want to do a mix or only some challenge or even some challenge for the first book and some from the other book they can do that as well


message 381: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) I’m still working on the template so if you guys have any suggestions on how to make it better that would be really helpful as well!


message 382: by [deleted user] (new)

It looks awesome! Hmm so then depending on which book they are doing (or both or mixed) I guess they should label it in a different way. So if they are only doing one book for all the challenges, put the name at the top, if they are doing both, shorten the title- like just put Achilles or Queen- under the challenge with the submission next to it?

Maybe like this for both or mixed?
Challenge #1 - Fan-art:
Achilles: Queen:

Haha that might make absolutely no sense but otherwise I think the template looks great😂


message 383: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) You could just ask them to label the submission, when the post it they can just put the book title there


message 384: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) Just call like the topic fanart, with the instructions, and ask them to say what book it is from when they post it


message 385: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Okay thanks! I’m going to see what I can do


message 386: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Have any of you guys read The Star-Touched Queen? I found a trivia for it but I don’t know if it’s just for the first book or for the full series so I just wanted to check with someone who’s read it


message 387: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) sorry I haven't :(


message 388: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) maybe ask on the discussion for this month and someone can answer it


message 389: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Yah I’ll do that thanks!


message 390: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey! So the teams have been created for the readathon and I released all the discussion topics/threads. If you all think I missed anything, or have any spooky challenge prompt ideas, let me know.


message 391: by [deleted user] (new)

Ooo yes that will make it much easier to collect points from everyone


message 392: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey do you all think that I should send out a broadcast saying that the readathon has started and with the teams? I feel like I've sent out so many in the past week and I don't want to annoy people with them😂


message 393: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) yeah it's okay they won't mind haha


message 394: by [deleted user] (new)

Haha ok I'll do it now


message 395: by [deleted user] (new)

For the readathon would you all say that books about shape shifters should count? (do they count as paranormal things?)


message 396: by Tessa (new)

Tessa Herondale~Carstairs (jessawessa) yeah I'd say that counts


message 397: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Hey guy! I just changed the currently reading book thingy (I'm so sorry I don' t know what it's called) on the homepage. I guess we forgot to switch it lol


message 398: by [deleted user] (new)

Great thanks! Haha I never remember to change it 😂


message 399: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) lol yah no problem!


message 400: by sahrai (new)

sahrai  (sarahmirzayee) Alright I’m going to post the challenge week today with the new adjustments, I think I made it all work out
