Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) I like the rotating 4 idea also, and we could always have one or two tasks that fit the theme, and the rest just normal, like Sandy said.

I agree. One or two tasks would "anchor" the challenge in that theme and then the rest can be the normal free-for-all ;o).

Julie  | 80 comments I like The Perfectly Seasoned Challenge and the rotating 4 idea!

Alice (aliceg) | 424 comments We could set up a new group called Pick Your Own Name and set up a poll on that for the new title. That group then turns into our new group. We could also use that group for the Autumn Suggestions. That way we won't be duplicating anything on here and can't then get in trouble for copying!

Melissa | 172 comments I like the idea of fours! maybe 5-pt tasks could revolve around the fours, and the remaining tasks could remain open as they are now.

Christine US (christineus) | 575 comments The "Perfectly Seasoned Book Challenge" is really cute!!! I also like the rotating 4s.


message 63: by Nancy (new)

Nancy | 138 comments I like 4 The Love of Reading Challenge. And I love the idea of having themes for each challenge, even if they weren't all themes of 4 things - we still will do 4 each year!


message 64: by Leslie (new)

Leslie (leslie_nj) | 70 comments 4 the Love of Reading Challenge with different themes of 4 each year sounds great. I think it will expand the creativity that already abounds in this group. There would be more to look forward to as the themes are changing. And I think it also makes a fundamental difference between the current challenge group and the new group, which should help the moderators in setting up the new group.

Petra The Theme idea is interesting. What happens after a few Challenges and we run out of 4-piece themes? Would the Theme idea be limiting after a few Challenges?

I think you could still do themes, even if they weren't in sets of 4 since we'll do 4 each year. We've kept the seasonal theme going for multiple challenges so you can always reincorporate that for themes, but you wouldn't be limited.

message 70: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 815 comments I think when we name it we should make sure that it is known that it is a challenge. That is how I found and was intrigued by this group.

I'll be singing the song "Tis the Season to be jolly" all the time if this one is chosen!!


Sarah (Mood Reader) (bookworm1887) | 458 comments I like the rotating 4's as well. I only have one issue/concern - since we are wanting to name the club ASAP. Shouldn't we see how many people want to vote for the rotating 4's first (see if it gets the most votes) and then have a poll for which rotating 4 we want to start with? I had a point here but I might have lost it!


message 79: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 815 comments How about:

Going with the 4 theme since there will be a new theme every year
Books 4 All Seasons Challenge
Books 4 All Genres Challenge
4 the Love of Books Challenge
All 4 Reading Challenge


Sarah (Mood Reader) (bookworm1887) | 458 comments Read 4 the fun of it

I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean by a rotating theme. Sorry if this is just me being really thick!

Ok I think I've answered my own question by reading back through the whole thread!! Yes it was just me being thick - or rather me not reading everything!

If it's different themes we don't really necessarily want the word season in the group title do we as we're not using the seasons in the title of each challenge?

Read 4 Challenges or Read 4 the Challenge of it

Season kind of works for it still though since we will still be going mostly by the months the seasons begin and stuff. But I am ok for a name with or without season in it.


message 91: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 815 comments Well it looks like we won't be going through the NAME thing, but will we still be trying the rotating 4 theme.


message 92: by Alice (new)

Alice (aliceg) | 424 comments I like the rotating 4 themes. it might be nice to try it!

Ashley FL | 721 comments Nothing to add, but wanted to say that you guys are SO creative! I love the idea of the rotating 4s theme. I think it will be so much fun!


message 94: by KSMary (new)

KSMary | 1181 comments I like BOOKS 4 All SEASONS. There is another group called "For the Love of Reading" on Goodreads. Don't know if having another group so closely named would be a good idea.


Sarah (Mood Reader) (bookworm1887) | 458 comments The only other concern I have with the rotating 4's is being able to find the group!


message 96: by Ashley FL (new)

Ashley FL | 721 comments I think the name would stay the same, just the theme would change within the group, if that makes sense.


Elizabeth (Alaska) We won't be re-naming this group after all.


Sarah (Mood Reader) (bookworm1887) | 458 comments What do you mean we won't be re-naming this group?


Elizabeth (Alaska) You can't change the name of a group. We were looking for a name if we had to move. GR has made pj a co-moderator, so we won't be moving.
