We can do that!

[Ana]

Okay great :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Are we ready to make the challenge post?

[Ana]

Do we want to add a photo to it with the challenge name and dates? Cause I could do that later today or do we post it as it is?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

It’s totally up to you! I am fine with either or.

[Ana]

What do you think of the photo I’ve added to the Google doc?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Let me hop on my laptop real quick and take a look.

[Ana]

Sounds good :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Sounds good!!!! hopefully we have more people join this one.

[Ana]

Yes hopefully :)

[Ana]

Okay the link is done! Since I posted the other challenge, do you want to post this one? And do you also want to do the scores or do I do them and next challenge we switch?

Also do you also want to do the BOTM one month each?

We can take turns making BOTM. and I can make the post or you can and every challenge we will just trade off.

[Ana]

Okay sounds good and yeah we can take turns doing one each, both with the BOTM and with the challenges.
So this challenge is your turn and August BOTM is my turn and then we just continue trading off :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

So before I make the actual challenge thread, what happens if we don’t have a lot of people that sign up what do we want to do about this cause I know lately the group’s kind of been quiet so I’m just trying to make it fair so one person is not Having nobody on their team until people see it.

[Ana]

What if we send a broadcast announcing it and maybe that will get more people to sign up

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

You’re probably right. Do you want to send out the broadcast and I will create the thread now?

[Ana]

Okay we can do that :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I'm sorry Ana. I fell asleep last night but I am making the challenge thread right now! I will also send a broadcast message out once I am finished!

[Ana]

It’s okay no worries :) did the link for the challenge photo not work?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

No. It wouldn’t work for me. I tried copy and pasting multiple times and it didn’t work.

[Ana]

Oh that’s so weird cause it does work for me 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I can try again here in a few minutes but I will let you know!

[Ana]

Okay if not no worries :)

[Ana]

I just added a new group game, let’s see if it gets people more active in the group :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I’m going to go check it out!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Hey Ana! I just thought about a new idea for the group. It's more along the line of an alphabet read. So how it works is we start with the first letter of the alphabet and we can suggest a few books to choose from and we will make a poll to see which books wins obviously but I thought it would be cute.

[Ana]

Oooh I love that idea!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Ana wrote: "Oooh I love that idea!"

I was thinking to make it even more interesting we recommend a book from each genre... like a thriller, a romance, a sci fi etc.....
As we go we can take votes for books that are suggested.

[Ana]

Yeah I like that idea too :)

[Ana]

Hey V I thought that I was going to do the August BOTM nominations and polls and then we were going to switch one month each? I was going to do it on Monday once it was July, but I understand if you forgot because you're so used to doing it and I can just do September :)

[Ana]

I also just sent the broadcast announcing the reading challenge and the BOTMs for July :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I’m sorry Ana! I am so used to doing I forgot you were doing in in August.

[Ana]

It’s okay :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Remind me not to create Septembers in august.

[Ana]

Okay sounds good :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Hey Ana! So since we only have 3 options for August's BOTM do you want to give everyone a break this month since we don't have many options or are you wanting to create the poll with only 3 options on there? Let me know what you think and then I will create the poll tomorrow.

[Ana]

I just seconded renegades too so now we have 7 book options to go to the poll but should we make only one winner or keep to having 2 BOTMs?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I am fine with either one.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I will let you create August's BOTM poll and September's BOTM thread and poll this time!

[Ana]

Okay sounds good and we should still just keep having the 2 BOTMs :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I love how people have options of which one to read!

[Ana]

Yeah I love seeing how we all have different tastes in books but sometimes they blend together too :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Ana wrote: "Yeah I love seeing how we all have different tastes in books but sometimes they blend together too :)"

I agree and gives people more options to read so it's not the same genre winning every month.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

We don't have a tie for the BOTM do we? Just want to make sure we don't have a tie.

[Ana]

No we don’t have a tie this time around. The first book is winning by a lot and the second is a little closer but not tied so far so that’s good :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

OK, just wanna make sure it’s not a tie because seems like every single time I’ve been doing it. We get a tie and it’s kind of getting annoying not gonna lie, but that’s OK.

[Ana]

Do you want to create the threads for the BOTMs for August or should I?
I’ll create the September BOTM nomination thread later today, we had a huge storm last night and we lost power so I’m trying to save battery until we get power back :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I can create those threads and that’s fine we had a bad storm here too but surprised we didn’t lose power. Hopefully things are okay.
