Well, St. Pat's Day is still special. It's Bekah's Birthday!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Thanks, Danielle! I'll get on that this afternoon. I'm going to call it The Not-Much-Of-A-Challenge-Book Challenge. LOL

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Hey, ladies. I created the folder and the first post. I will add Marches "requirements" later. I put the Not Too Challenging Challenges folder under the Fun and Games folder, I hope that's ok. If not, feel free to move it.

Oh, I had to work with the folder title because of character restrictions.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Great title!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Can you think of any other things?

Kleypasland Monthly Reading Challenges
March’s Book Challenge”


In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, our challenge for March will be “All Things Irish”

Books to read: 4 – as in Four Leaf Clovers

Does the book take place in Ireland?
Are any of the characters Irish?
Are there Leprechauns?
Is there a pot of gold or gold coins on the cover?
A rainbow on the cover?
Is the word “Irish” in the title?
Is the cover green?
Are there snakes anywhere in the story or the cover?
Is the author’s name, or a character’s name Patrick?
Does “St.” appear anywhere on the cover – even publishers St. Martin’s Press would count.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Great ones, Dhestiny! I'm excited, although I'm lousy at challenges.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Ladies, I was thinking of sending out a notice about the March reading challenge. What do you think? And how do you do it? I was looking at the group features and I see 'event' and thought maybe that was the way?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Hmm. I think you can send an event notice. I'll check into and get back to you.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Try sending an event notice, Dhestiny.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Ok, Thanks Danielle! If Goodreads breaks, you'll know why. ;)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Hugs, Dhestiny. You are all over it!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Woohooo! It feels like a huge accomplishment. There's no stopping me now! *laughs diabolically*

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

LOL. You are very capable, Dhestiny. I might have start watching you in case you decide to become an Evil Overlord(lady).

[Pamela(AllHoney)]

lol Danielle & Dhestiny... here is a book recommedation for becoming an evil overload... How to Be a Villain: Evil Laughs, Secret Lairs, Master Plans, and More!!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

ROFL! I like that, Danielle! Though my kids already think me one. LOL

Pamela - *gasp* I mean *laughs diabolically while rubbing hands together* I'm going to have to study that!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Ooh, I need to read that one, Pamela. Thanks!
But your kids love you for it, I bet, Dhestiny. :)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

If you don't want to be a moderator anymore, that's fine. I will remove you. If you are happy being one, I'll leave you as one. I don't have an issue with your performance.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Oh, Vale. You are irreplaceable! If you have ideas for threads, go for it. Otherwise, just keep posting and keeping the conversation growing. Help the new members to get oriented. :)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Thank you!

[[deleted user]]

I think both of you are great Danielle and Vale you guys are awesome

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Aww! Thanks, Cynthia! Hugs!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

There were 2 threads for clothing, so I closed the 2nd thread for further posts. I think it's best to keep things tidy and have 1 thread for the topic.

What say you?

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

sounds best to me!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Sounds good!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Thanks, ladies!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Danielle,

How should we handle group invites to things? There are several different group reads taking place, including the monthly reading challenges. I'm concerned about overwhelming the group members with invites, but at the same time we want people to be aware of all the fun things this group has to offer and the current events taking place.

Do you have any ideas on how best to do this?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I don't think it's bad to have several group invites, as long as they are for events that are fitting with the design and goals of the group. The person can always delete them or ignore them. What do you think?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

If you don't mind, I don't mind. I think then that the invites need to be clear about what will be read. For example, one of the group reads focuses on erotica. This needs to be made very clear, so as not to offend those in our group who are not inclined, for whatever reason, to read that genre.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I agree with you.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I created an "Archives" folder for old and closed threads. It will come in handy one of these days, I'm sure.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Thanks, Vale! I'm really OCD and I need things to be in order, organized and dusted daily. LOL

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

i think its a good idea too!!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Thanks, Bekah! I don't want to just delete the threads that people have started, but I need them tucked away in a nice, cozy spot!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

WE appreciation your organizational skills, Dhestiny. Maybe you can come and help me organize my garage. LOL.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Thank you, Danielle! I could organize your garage. I have a sign that says "Will Work for Books" ;)

Speaking of which, I went to a library sale today and they had all paperbacks 3 for $1!!!! Got a few Harlequin Presents and some others.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

That's really cool. A nice way to get intro'd into the HP books.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Dhestiny, I think you'd charge me a lot to deal with my garage. It's pretty bad. But I did make some inroads while I was on vacation.

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I wanted to let you guys know that I haven't disappeared, I'm just on vaca! I will be out for another week. Happy reading!!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Wow! Have a great time, Bekah!!!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Have a great vacation, Bekah!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Me neither.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Vale, you are kind to say that. I think LK is just a very popular author, and you guys make this group active. I'm not as well-versed on JQ. Is your group still open? I can help you with it, if you want. I haven't read all that many of her books.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Okay.

[Koosh]

I don't mind joining JQ's group~! Been so caught up reading LK's group threads I barely realised there are others. Lol.

PS This must sound stupid but is this thread for moderators only?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Hi Koosh! Yeah, this thread is set aside for moderators to discuss stuff ;)

I think that it would be a good idea, Vale, to send invites to the JQ group. I'd join for sure!
