Q. There are so many folders. How do I know where to post a topic?

If you are unsure which folder to start your topic under, please don't select any folder and it will default to a general folder. Once the moderators get a look at the direction of the discussion one of them will move it to the correct discussion folder for our group. As moderators we may change the title of your topic to make it clearer if necessary. The best discussions take off when the title is precise and conveys what you want to discuss or the question you want to ask.

Before starting a new topic it's best to look in the most likely discussion sections to see if we are already talking about your topic. The home page only shows you the top 5 most recently posted subjects for each thread but there are usually more topics under each folder.

If we move your topic we will post a comment on which discussion folder we are moving it to so that all the current posting members will know where to find it going forward.

If you know where your topic belongs please start it in the correct discussion folder to avoid any confusion that may occur when we move your discussion, if possible.


Q. How do I participate in book discussions and when are they held?

The discussions are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week and you are welcome to discuss any book at anytime EVEN if it is not the book of the month. A new book is picked each month.

Book mark the site so that you can find it easy next time.

Q Can I post my blog giveaway on the group's page?

Yes you can! Please post it in the Giveaway Folder. If you chose to make a thread for yourself instead PLEASE remember to come back and delete the thread when your giveaway is over. Also if you want to share you blog with everyone post it here.

Q. I am an author of a young adult book and would like to talk about it in this group. Can I post information on it here?

Yes you can. Please post it in the Goodreads Author Section. This is important because this is a book club and I don't want the group spammed. I would also suggest getting involved in our book discussions. Relationships are formed in this way and if you pique my interest in a discussion I know I will be more interested in you as a person and it leads me to see your profile and the sky becomes the limit!

Q. What are your guidelines for posting in this group?

Treat other members courteously, as though you were a guest in their home.
Nobody has the right to abuse anyone verbally, to spam the forum, or make offensive remarks.
Arguments are a part of the forum experience. Opinions on this site are diverse and sometimes directly polarized. We all love reading threads where there are many opposing ideas, but any differences must be addressed with respect.
We will not tolerate when individuals go beyond these boundaries — it’s not fun to read and destroys community atmosphere. Keep the arguments restricted to books and ideas, don’t attack people.

Q. What are the challenges and how do I participate?

The challenges change every few months so be sure to check the home page to see what the current group challenge is. Group Challenges can be found here. If you have an idea for a challenge go ahead and post it! My co-mod Tatiana is in charge of the challenges so if you have any specific questions please message her.

Q. How does the group chose the group book of the month?

Members can go to the Master Book Suggestion List and suggest a book for us to read. Then on the 20th of each month 10 books will randomly be selected from the master list and group members will vote on which book they want to read. The instruction on how to suggest a book is also included in that link.
