[Ana]

Yes I’m still going to stay at cozy book nook, and yeah I feel like all groups have been pretty inactive also, like it’s a general thing which sucks but hopefully it will change soon

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Same!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Just wanted to let you know that May's BOTM has been made, link is down below!

[Ana]

Okay thank you V! :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Your welcome!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Hey Ana! Just wanted to let you know that tonight in my area we are suppose to get a really bad storm with 40 mph winds. I will let you know from my phone is I lose power or not but wanted to give a heads up just in case.

[Ana]

Okay V, where I live we’re also getting a storm so we’ll see how it goes and hopefully we don’t loose power :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I didn’t loose power but didn’t sleep well last night

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Hey Ana! I just wanted to check in and make sure your alright? do you need me to create June's BOTM or do you want to do it? I am also posting the new reading challenge today.

[Ana]

I’ll post June BOTM later today :)
Okay sounds good, I’m excited to see the new reading challenge!

I tried to create new prompts and make it fun but my brain is fried at the moment so I tried my best.

[Ana]

The prompts look great! Since no one is responding to team ideas, I think I’ll go with Pina Colada Squad. What do you think? I think it goes with the summer poolside vibe no?

It's a poolside drink so I think it goes perfect with the theme. Dang it girl now you have me craving coconut. I will add that to the thread.

[Ana]

Yeah piña coladas are my favorite summer drinks :)

Not a bad choice! Non alcoholic or do you put a little alcohol in it?

Non alcoholic, I personally don’t like to drink alcohol

That's fair. Some people can drink it without alcohol but for me it's tooooo sweet without it.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I will create my team thread later on today as well.

Okay sounds good, I will create it later today too

[Ana]

I've posted the June BOTM nomination chat

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I'm having a bit of an issue posting new threads but I managed to post the BOTM one. Tomorrow I'll try posting my team thread for the challenge :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Thank you! And I don’t know why every time you create a thread you have a hard time because it doesn’t do that for me but who knows maybe there is a glitch or something.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I totally forgot to mention as part of a rule of the new reading challenge... what do you want to rule to be about DNFing books.

Do we not allow them to log points at all or do we allow it to count but they have to get a certain about of pages in order for it to count?

[Ana]

I don’t know why I’m struggling either, and it’s not always. Like when I created the buddy read chats in Cozy book nook it was fine and then I struggled with both the BOTM and the team chat. I finally managed the team chat but it was mess cause I first created the chat in the BOTM folder and then switched it to the challenge folder and that somehow worked 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think we could make it that DNFs count but maybe the same as with the finished books page count? So like they have to read at least 100 pages of the dnf?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Okay I will add that to the post now and make an announcement. Like I said it’s my fault I’m sorry.

I am trying to figure out ways we can bring this group active again.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Hey Ana! Just trying to help you out and I announced June's BOTM already and made threads. I have been feeling slumpy lately so I havent' been reading much but we got 2 good winners this month so I am hoping I can join both or one at least and get this slump gone.

[Ana]

Hey V, thank you so much for helping out! I’ve been so busy these last few days that I completely forgot to announce the winners.

Ana wrote: "Hey V, thank you so much for helping out! I’ve been so busy these last few days that I completely forgot to announce the winners."

I have been busy as well but trying to keep up with all my groups as well. Trying to stick with this so things aren't late. I will create July's BOTM once it turns June.

[Ana]

Okay sounds good V :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Ana wrote: "Okay sounds good V :)"

How have you been?

[Ana]

I’ve been okay just super busy that I barely have any time 🤷🏻‍♀️😅 how about you?

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Ana wrote: "I’ve been okay just super busy that I barely have any time 🤷🏻‍♀️😅 how about you?"

Busy as well but I force reading time in because it helps me relax but been fishing and where I am at, we have been getting sooooo much rain so that has been allowing me time to read as well.

I am creating July's BOTM today as well!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

July's BOTM has been made!

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Hey Ana! I know you have been super busy but I just wanted to let you know that I ordered the book Addicted to You on Amazon because it was on sale. As of right now it will be here June 23rd, 2025, I know you have been wanting to read this so if you want to buddy read it we can just let me know!

Your welcome! You have August's month!

[Ana]

Sounds good, I’ll start the thread once we’re on June :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Sounds good and that is fine with me!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

So I'm terribly sorry for just now posting this but since I am not getting answers from my team, I am letting your team help me choose a theme as well as some prompts and fun writing and activity prompts as well...

Obviously you get to choose your team name but I am just so overwhelmed at the moment I don't have the brain power to think of all this by myself.... lol

[Ana]

I feel like most people don't really want to help with ideas for challenges, only a few people do like to...
I'll see what ideas I can come up with to help you out :)

That would be great!!! Thank you!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Hey Ana! So I just thought of a way that might being the group active again. So it's "Rate The Song."

So how it works is you have a scale from 1-4.

1-Don't like it/not your cup of tea.
2-Would listen to it if I was in the mood.
3- I liked it and I would recommend it to others. Also will add it to my playlist.
4- Loved it!

What do you think?

[Ana]

I like that idea, it sounds fun :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Ana wrote: "I like that idea, it sounds fun :)"

Okay I will create the thread for how it works today then! Hopefully it brings the group active again!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Hey Ana! I just wanted to let you know that I won't be able to read Addicted to You because my package got lost in the mail so Amazon had to give me a refund since I didn't receive the package. I am sooooo pissed, I was looking forward to that but of course my luck.... Can't even trust the mail anymore.

[Ana]

No worries V and I’m so sorry that happened to you

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

I will try and see if my public library has a copy and let you know when I have it! Thank you Ana! I appreciate it. Really bummed out that it host lost but that’s the world we live in today.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks]

Hey Ana! Do you need me to create August's BOTM?
