Hello!

[Katie]

Say hello! Tell me if you want to be a mod, so you can create your own challenge or what kind of challenge you want me to create for you.

[Jules:)]

Hi Katie! I just joined and was looking for a challenge...I'm a little confused though....what do you mean by adding shelves...is that genres?

[Katie]

Hi! Do you mean when you join a challenge? The way GoodReads does challenges is that they count books when you add them to a certain shelf. Like, for the official GoodReads challenge, they count all books that you add to your "read" shelf. And, to create shelves, go to the edit shelves page. There's an option for adding shelves at the bottom. So, for example, I'm doing the Authors to Catch Up in 2012 Challenge and I created a shelf for that challenge. Every time I finish a book that counts for that challenge, I'll add it to that shelf and the challenge will count it.

I'm not sure if I'm making any sense at all, so let me know if you have more questions or if you meant something else!

(Also, I tried to add you as a mod so you could create your own challenges, but it told me I couldn't since you don't have a verified email address. So let me know if you have a challenge you want me to create. These are the ones that already exist, but I can add more if none of them are what you're looking for.)

Hello! This is a neat idea! I need to think about what my challenges will be but I think I already got some ideas :D

[Sonja]

This is such a great idea! I'll have to think about challenges, but the pre-2009 YA one sounds pretty great already! We'll see. :D

That makes sense! K I understand now:) Thxs...and sorry I forgot to verify it...I've only had my account for a few days so I'm just gettin used to things:$ And I would love to be a mod if the spot is still open:)

[Katie]

Jules - Awesome! You're a mod now. I'm planning to go ahead and mod everyone in the group. Kind of unusual, I suppose, but that way we all create our own challenges. Enjoy goodreads!

Chiara, Sonni - You're both mods now, too! Thanks and have fun! :D

Haha thxs! Geez I'm already addicted to the site...man this is way more fun studying for exams...uh oh this could be bad:S

[Katie]

Heh. Yes, GoodReads is very addicting, which can be both good and bad! :D

[Chiara]

Thanks! I'm gonna set up some challenges later or tomorrow!

[Ami]

This is really NEAT Katie. I have already think of my own challenge. Let's see if I can actually do that *lol*

[Katie]

YAY! So glad people are liking it. :D

Hi I'm Anna

[Helen]

Hi! I'm Helen. I'd like to try creating a few challenges of my own, so could you please make me a mod? Thanks!

Thank you!

[Acuriousreader]

Hi, my name is Furkan. Could you make me a mkd, please? I want to create few challenges.

[Katie]

Hi! I got this error message when I tried to add you "This user does not have a verified email address. Can't add as a moderator." If you verify your email address, let me know, and I'll try again.

[Katie]

Hi Ioana,

I can't make you a mod yet because the system tells you me you don't have a verified email address. You can verify it using these instructions.

Let me know when you do and I'll make you a mod, so you can create your own challenges.

[Katie]

And now you're a mod! Have fun!
