Just added some book prompts as well:)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

I will do social butterfly!

[Ana, Moderator]

We could have the artsy team, active team, social butterfly team and the fourth one can be traveling team? Maybe?

[Ana, Moderator]

I love traveling so I would do that one lol

[Ana, Moderator]

I just added some book prompts and activity prompts as well :)

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Great, that sounds good to me! I'm fine with either the artsy or the active team; I'll wait to see if Mackenzie has a preference.

For team names, I'll have to think about those a little more...XD

Thanks for doing that Ana- they look great! :D

[Mackenzie :), Moderator]

I'll go with the artsy team!! this is such a fun idea you all I really like it :)

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Perfect! I'll be the active team, then. Thanks! And I'm having a hard time coming up with a challenge name and team names, so please let me know if y'all come up with anything!

Also, I don't know if it was just my team, but I don't think anyone on my team used a single writing prompt last challenge. Was it the same in y'all's teams? I was wondering if we should make the writing prompts be worth more points.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

Hello ladies!!!! I want to apologize for the spotty activeness on my part. I have been busy and the weather in my area has not been so great over the past week in a half. Alot of storms, heavy rain, etc. So its been yucky and losing power etc.

Now with the new reading challenge, are we ready to announce the post or are we still brainstorming ideas and prompts? Are we all in charge of creating our team thread or what do you guys think?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

Poll has been made for July and the link is right here.

https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/2...

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

I do need someone to send invites to the poll. I sent out a few but not alot went out. Thanks!

[Ana, Moderator]

Ok I’ll send the invites to the polls.

I think we’re still brainstorming ideas for the reading challenge. And I think we each would eventually create our team threads like always no?

I think each team is in charge of creating there own thread. I like that idea better. When are we wanting start and end dates?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

July 1st, 2024 to August 6th, 2024?

That would be 5 weeks and 1 day.

[Ana, Moderator]

I would be okay with that date, let’s see what Catherine and Mackenzie say :)

Sounds good I will wait till they respond.

[Mackenzie :), Moderator]

I'm good with that date as well! I also agree with each mod creating their own thread, that should be easier for each team!

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

That sounds good to me! Just a side note, I'll be gone from July 28th to August 2nd, but since members keep track of points it should be OK.

I took a look at the doc and it looks great- thanks everyone! I had a quick question about one of the book prompts. What is an Author’s New York Best Seller? I haven't heard of it before and was just wondering:)

So it looks like we'll call each team by its topic? Perhaps if any of our team members have a fun name they'd like to suggest, we can always change our team names later.

It looks like the challenge is pretty set! We just need a challenge name and we're good to go.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

I will think of some and post tonight!

[Ana, Moderator]

Yeah the challenge looks great! Which one of us is going to post the reading challenge and organize the teams?

[Ana, Moderator]

And for the challenge name some ideas could be ‘In The Mood For Summer’, ‘Sun-kissed Bliss’, ‘Here Comes The Sun’, Sun-kissed Readin’, ‘Sun’s Out, Books Out’. I have no idea what else we could use 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

I could do it if needed:)

Those are fantastic ideas, Ana! I really like "Here Comes the Sun" and "Sun's Out, Books Out." Do you have any preference?

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Thank you so much! :D

Okay I also wouldn’t mind doing it too if needed :)

I think my favorite is “Sun’s Out, Books Out”.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

I love Sun Kissed Bliss

[Mackenzie :), Moderator]

I really like Sun Kissed Bliss as well!!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

I don’t know but that name seems to be perfect for this challenge?!

[Ana, Moderator]

We could do that one :) what do you think Catherine?

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

That's good with me! The other ones are GREAT names though; maybe we can use them for a future challenge:)

How does the challenge doc look to everyone?

[Ana, Moderator]

The doc looks great!!

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Awesome! What if two people run each challenge, so one person does signups and another person does the scoreboard? Then we can rotate so each person can take a break.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

Sounds good!

[Ana, Moderator]

I agree that sounds good! So who will be doing what in this challenge?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

Just about to ask the same thing!

[Mackenzie :), Moderator]

I can do scoreboard!

[Ana, Moderator]

I can do signups :)

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Great, thanks guys! I added the picture, so it should be all good now 👍

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

Sorry busy been busy and let me know what I can do!

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

I think you're good V- thanks for running BOTM and everything!

(And thanks for sending the invites, Ana:))

Once signups are posted, I'll send a broadcast, but no rush.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

Your welcome! I will create Augusts BOTM once July hits.

[Ana, Moderator]

Okay I’ll post the challenge sign up now :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

Sounds good!

[Mackenzie :), Moderator]

Looks really good you all!!

[Ana, Moderator]

The challenge has been posted :)

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Awesome, thank you so much! :D

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Just added a template for when y'all create your team threads if you'd like to use it to the challenge doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-...

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Hey Ana, sorry to bother you, but I just noticed a typo for the prompt "Read a summer romance."

I updated the google doc so to fix the typo- could you copy and paste the prompt to fix it? Thank you so much! :D

[Ana, Moderator]

Done :)

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Thanks!

V, could you add to your team's thread the team numbers and team points, please? I'll post the "how to log books."

Also, I just noticed that people whose birthdays were in June never had the chance to earn points. Can we change the last prompt "One time bonus if your birthday is during JULY or AUGUST. (+5)" to "✴️ One time bonus if your birthday is during JUNE, JULY, or AUGUST. (+5)"?

[Ana, Moderator]

I’m good with including June in the birthday bonus.
