Yes I really liked the Mod reads, I’ve been in a book reading slump for over a month but after reading my Mod read I feel less slumpish lol I’m still thinking about which book I want to host next but I might wait a while cause I do have other books I need to get off my tbr first.

That's totally fine. Oh no..... not book slumps... Hopefully you decide and whatever you choose will get you out of it completely.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Let me know when you are ready to start planning the next reading challenge but I think it would be a good idea to wait a little bit so we can get more people to join. Also I think a lot of people have been in reading slumps lately.

[Ana]

Okay I’ll let you know but yes I also think we should wait a little longer so that more people will be able to participate. I’m finally getting off my slump so that’s great :) I just really hope that the next books I read don’t put me back into the slump lol

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I figured you were in a Reading slump because you weren’t active and I’m like I remember we messaged and you told me that hey we all get a Reading slump. It’s OK I’ve been there. I wish you the best of luck. I don’t know if you saw my next mod read, but you’re more than welcome to join that.

Polls for June's BOTM are made! Here are both links!

[Ana]

Thanks for creating the polls V! Although I do have a question, wouldn’t it be better to only have one poll and then pick the top two choices to be the BOTMs to avoid getting the same book win both polls?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I can do that next time do you think we would still get a fair vote though.

[Ana]

I think it would still be fair cause you can vote in the comments too, or what do you think?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

True we will just do one vote and do comments then!

[Ana]

Okay sounds good :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Hey girl, I just wanted to message you. Is it just me or is it you get to reading a book and then in the beginning you’re like I want to change it like you can’t stick to one book I cannot decide what to read.

[Ana]

Oh I’ve definitely been through that many times specially most recently when i was in my book reading slump. hopefully soon you'll find a great book that you can enjoy :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I am having you guys choose my next read lol.

[Ana]

Yes I saw that! That’s cool maybe I’ll do that too in the future :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Yes more of a way to get books off your to be read!

[Ana]

I’ve just updated the currently reading books to the BOTMs for June and moved May’s books to the read bookshelf :)

By the way how have you been? :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Been busy a little! But I am good!

Thank you for doing this!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Are you wanting to create ideas for another reading challenge or wait a little longer?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

When are we wanting to start brainstorming ideas for a new reading challenge?

[Ana]

I think we could start brainstorming ideas now-ish and maybe start the challenge at the end of the month?
What theme should we do? Summer theme or something completely different?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I am fine with either.

[Ana]

Okay sounds good! I’ve created a Google doc for the reading challenge so that we can both edit and add the challenge name, team names and all of the prompts as well :)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-...

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

What theme do we want to go with on this? I am trying to brainstorm ideas for this reading challenge!

[Ana]

Maybe something about like vacations or going to the beach. I don't know that just screams summer for me lol

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

We can pick places that are popular beach areas!!!!
I would choose either Destin, Florida
or Virginia Beach

[Ana]

I like your ideas :) I think I would choose Malibu Beach or Miami Beach

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Okay! We will do beach themes we need to think of some prompts. Do we want to make book prints and writing prompts unlimited? And only use activity prompts 4 times or make those unlimited too?

[Ana]

Yeah I think book and writing prompts being unlimited is good and activity prompts having a 4 uses limit is good too :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Okay we can do that!

[Ana]

How many points do we want the mod reads to be?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I would say 8

[Ana]

Okay let me change that on the Google doc :)

[Ana]

I’m going to choose Malibu beach team, which one do you want for your team?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Virginia Beach!

[Ana]

Okay sounds good :)

[Ana]

What do you think about the challenge name? What about something like ‘Life is Better at the Beach’, ‘Trip to the Beach’ or ‘Reading at the Beach’? Or what other ideas do you have?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Beachin’ and Books, Soak In The Sun With Books, Sippin’, Beachin’ and Bookin’ Words?

[Ana]

Oooh I really love Beachin’ and Books!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

We can use that!

[Ana]

Okay cool!

[Ana]

I’ve updated the name for the reading challenge and added a few prompts to the Google doc but we definitely still need more prompts, do you have more ideas?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Both of those polls for July have been made!

[Ana]

Okay thank you V!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Your welcome!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I have added some more ideas but still thinking of some.

[Ana]

Okay sounds good! And what dates are we wanting the challenge to last for?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

What sounds good to you?

[Ana]

Maybe July 5th to August 10th?
