[Jeanette]

Ok, so lets see if I know what I'm doing here! Sounds exciting, too bad I don't know my way around...LOL...

[Shellbelle]

Jeanette, glad your stopped by to check it out! You can start by posting something here, that you would love to see in this group. And then just start clicking around the differnt threads!lol You'll get the hang of it, and Jen and I are always here to help☺

[Jeanette]

Thanks! I will "look" around & get back to you.

[[deleted user]]

This is insane!!! LOL. I just can't help it.

[♠~Dawn~♠]

Wow! Sounds like fun! I'm excited about this!

[Tegan]

I'm excited about this! Know how I'll be spending my time. hahaha.

Well, I joined the Hero Challenge and the Susanomics Challenge. Also taking part in the group read and monthly challenge. I also added a Favorite Couple thread to R&R, Genres, Other Authors.

Is that what I'm supposed to do? hahahaha. I didn't do anything with comments, since you said you would. This really cool!

[Shellbelle]

Taryn I'm so glad that you mentioned that! That's what I get for putting it up in the middle of the night! It will end on Sept 1st (I'll add that above too) So everthing from last night when I sent out the message to midnight on Sept. 1st will be counted toward entries☺

[Shellbelle]

Tegan, that's perfect! It will help us keep track. However if you miss something or don't do, we will do our best still make sure everyone gets credit for everything they do!

I'm loving all the action this morning! Keep it up☺

[Tegan]

Haha, okay! Awesome.

[Cindy]

[Tegan]

Just joined the Something Old, Something New Challenge as well!

[Cindy]

Started a Favorite Authors ♥♥ thread in R&R, Genre, and Other Author's Folder, where we can discuss about any and all authors that we like.

[Shellbelle]

Have I mentioned that I love all the action the group is seeing?! I hope we can get some more people involved!!! I will post all the entry progress very soon (that way I don't get far behind!lol)

I am going to add the September monthly challenge early, so that you guys can make your list and count it as joining a challenge if you want to. I'll let you know when it's ready☺

[Tegan]

I can't wait to see it! Ahh! So many stinking challenges! haha.

☺☺☺ I feel the same as Tegan Mae!!

[Kelly Lynn]

Alright, I'm trying to remember what I've done\joined. I'm doing the August reading challenge, the Susanomics challenge, the Something Old, New, Borrowed and Blue challenge. And once I figure out enough heroes of each type I'll add my list for that one. Lots to read!!

So glad I joined GR! This is awesome!

[Tegan]

Cindy, it is insane! I'm trying to narrow it all down. haha.

Kelly Lynn, isn't it fun? :)

[♠~Dawn~♠]

I feel like I'm drowning in challenges! lol but that's okay if there's anyway to go I'd rather it be amongst a pile of books!

[Tegan]

So true!! haha. If it happened from my bookshelf falling on me...I'd kinda be okay.

[Shellbelle]

Kelly Lynn, this feels a bit like Cheerleading Check in huh?!lol

And Dawn, trues words have never been spoken!☺

I got my reading list all organized last night, and put challenges all clumped together so I can change them out when needed...like all my monthlies are together at the top, and each month I'll put the new monthlies in there, then mini challenges, then seasonal...ect. This way I can fit my books in my list like a big puzzle! That's the best part for me anyways☺

[Tegan]

It is fun to put them together! I always wind up wanting to add more though! haha.

Need help inviting members? Here some instructions...

•Click on Invite in the upper right hand side of the home page under the We Love Susan Mallery.

•There are 3 ways to invite. Friends, which are your goodread friends. Click on the ones that are not invited or members already. then you can leave a message and Invite! Manual you just put in their email address. so if you want to invite someone out side of GoodReads this would be one way to do that. Facebook log on to Fb, and recommend it to your friends!

[Tegan]

I just started a new game in fun and games if anyone is interested! Think this is over by now, but thought I'd post it here for everyone to check! :)

[Shellbelle]

Now that September 1st is officially over, I'm talling comment and everything else and I will announce a winner SOON!!!!

[Shellbelle]

I know that you guys are really wanting to know the winner of the contest, and I have tallied your entries (I will post everyones amounts tomorrow!) but I would really like to wait for Jennifer to be back and active when we announce the winners, is that okay with everyone? I think it should only be a day or two.

[Tegan]

That's fine. We should definitely wait for her :)
