Navigating Our Group

[claire, Creator]

Hey! Wondering where something is? Or where to put a topic? Look no further!


First of all, please notice that our folders are in alphabetical order, except for the first and last topics. So if you can't find the topic your looking for, find where it would go alphabetically.

Now, the folders...

Welcome: This folder is mainly for newcomers, but anyone is welcome to browse through our welcome folder. As of right now, it has this topic, and one about our group, and one about the rules.
Please do not put new topics in this folder!

About You: The about you folder is comprised of different get to know you topics.
If you have something you want to know about people, feel free to add a new topic in there! Just make sure it is not a repeat of an existing topic and that it is not about your favorite of something. That goes in a different folder.

Announcements: In the announcements folder mods will post a new topic or possibly comment on an existing one announcements for the group.
Please do not put a topic in this folder. The announcements should only come from moderators.

Birthdays: In this folders there are thirteen topics. One for each month, and an over all birthday calendar.
This folder does not need any more topics, so please don't put any more in there!

Blind Book Dating: Blind book dating is where a mod will post a synopsis or summary of a book without telling you the name of it. You have to rate the book, and after a while, a mod will post the link to the book. If you liked it, you can add the book to your tbr!
Only mods should post summaries, so please do not add a topic in this folder.

Book Series: In this folder, there are different topics discussing different book series.
If you want to discuss a specific book series, feel free to add a topic for it. Just make sure to title the topic the name of the series.

Bookish Socials: In this folder you can share some of your social media accounts, groups, etc. It is specifically made for book related accounts, groups, etc. but if yours isn't book related, that is okay.
If there is something that we've missed, please add a topic for it! Just make sure to title it correctly!

BOTM: The BOTM folder is full of information about the current BOTM. You may find the duration, page count, synopsis, and much more about our BOTM.
Please do not add topics in this folder, leave it to the BOTM mod.

Buddy Reads: Find a friend and read a book with them! You can request a buddy read in that topic, and our BR mod will make you your own topic to discuss whatever book you choose to read together.
Please do not make new topics in this folder! You should request for the BR mod to make you a topic.

Challenges: This folder will tell you a little bit about our challenges. If you have any questions, make sure to go to the Q&A topic in that folder.
There is no need for you to add any topics to this folder, so please don't!

Challenges - SIGN UPS: Find all of the sign ups to all of the challenges here!
Please don't add or move topics to this folder.

Challenges - Weekly: Every week we have a fun challenge that you must participate in!
Private Message a mod if you have any ideas for weekly challenges, and please don't add one yourself!

Chat: Talk to all of your AABC friends in the chat folder!
Feel free to add a "themed" chat! Just don't repeat any previous ones!

Contests: Believe it or not, Challenges and Contests are different! Contests are Writing or Review Contests, while there are Reading Challenges. Either way, we love your participation in both!
Please don't add a topic in this folder! You can PM any of the mods about an idea if you want, though!

Debates: I know sometimes it can get a little heated, but who doesn't want to participate in a good debate? Are hardcover or softcover books better? Fiction or nonfiction? State your case, in a debate!
You are welcome to make a topic in this folder, but make sure it is a relatable debate, and that it follows all of our rules.

Discussion Groups: A discussion group is a group where you can talk about the BOTM, or any other book you're reading! We would love for you to join a discussion group so you can be a part of the fun!
If you are planning on starting a discussion group, you may add a topic but the title must be the name of your group.

Games: So many games, so little time. Come have fun with us in the Games folder!
Please let the games mod stick to the game making. You can always tell a mod about your ideas, but please don't make a topic yourself.

Games - 100 Ways: Can we think up 100 ways to _____? Join us in one of these games to find out!
If you have an idea, you can tell our games mod, but please don't make one yourself!

Hall Of Fame: The Hall Of Fame celebrates every single one of you guys' achievements!
Please, please, please make a Hall Of Fame topic! We mods cannot make one for each and every one of you, so we encourage you to make your own! If you do make one, please follow our guidelines.

Hobbies: Find some people who are interested in the same things you are!
Please add topics in this folder if there isn't already one!

Miscellaneous: This folder is full of all of the topics that don't have a place to go! That's right. Don't know where a topic goes? Put it in here. A mod might move it if there is a place for it, or we might leave it there.
I think it's a bit self explanatory, but you are more than welcome to add topics here!

Movie Discussion: We don't only have to discuss books in this group! Have fun talking about your favorite movies.
Feel free to make a topic in this folder, just make sure it's titled with the name of the movie!

Nooks: A nook is an topic made for you, about you.
The nooks mod will make your topic, so please don't make one yourself!

QOTW: Every week, a new topic will appear in this folder sharing the Quote of the Week. There will be a poll sent out each week so you guys can choose it!
Only mods, specifically the QOTW mod, should post in this folder.

Questions/Suggestions: If you have a question about our group, or suggestion, look in those topics.
Please don't add any topics in here. All that needs to be there is what is already there.

Archives: This folder is full of old buddy reads, challenges, contests, and games.
There is no need to add any topics here! This will be full of old ones.
