Thanks Olivia! :)

Hey Kaycie! Yes, the bookclub will be active again starting @ the beginning of March - February is all about me sorting through the content, creating new graphics, and sourcing giveaways and club opportunities. I'm so sorry for the long hiatus, but we hope to be up and running again soon <3 <3

A mirror!"

Love this one!

(Same! I need to do a re-read and then start it up again. Next week is the start of my complete re-vamping of the group from top to bottom :))

Olivia wrote: "Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been very active as of late. I've been rather busy with work and what not and am just coming out of a reading slump. I think I'm finally starting to get back into the ..."

Hey Olivia! Happy to have you back <3

That's totally fine - the group's actually been in a semi-hiatus status for a month and a half. I'm working on bringing it back and fixing up/re-doing parts of the group and helping to make it up-to-date and ready for all you bookworms. More stuff is to come, hopefully in the next month :)

Feel free to get back into the swing of things and comment on the discussions!

A little - not as much now that Nina has left the show, but it looks like it's going to be an interesting season.

Seeing the recent poster/posters for Mockingjay Part 2 sparked a light bulb. :)"

Lucinda wrote: "Quote that I simply love..


“If music be the food of love, play on” -- {from Twelfth Night – Act 1, Scene 1}

What a beautiful quote! And I'm certainly intrigued by that interesting thought you posted - it made me re-evaluate some of the works I've read that have had songs in them and what their impact is :)

Lucinda wrote: "An effective bad boy has layers, and beneath those layers there’s a good heart. For me, it’s getting to that heart and watching it come alive that drives the story."

Beautifully put! I totally agree - for me, it's less about the 'image' of a bad boy that draws me into the story and helps pull it along. It's more about those layers and the way the author reveals them one by one in the 'bad boy' character as the story unfolds :)

1. Acceptance

Love this perspective/new angle!

Jay wrote: "Are you excited for the Shadowhunters TV Show?"

Definitely!

Jay wrote: "What do you think of season 6 of PLL?"

SO good! I like the addition of the 'Charles' mystery, coupled with the somewhat darker turn this season has taken. Also, the upcoming time jump should mix things up a little too :)

Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing well :)

As many of you may have noticed, there's been some issues concerning the May and June BOTMs...namely that they haven't been consistent and there hasn't been any BOTMs posted for June. On top of that the group's activity has stalled somewhat.

This is mainly because, although this group has co-moderators, running the BOTMs has long been my job. And this last month and the next couple of weeks have been brutally busy with many university assessments and exams that are integral for me to complete. Also, my co-moderators are busy with their own studies.

I love, love, love this group and the bookworms that are a part of it - and I know my co-moderators will agree when I say that this group owes its existence to you all. Thank you for being so patient with us and for continuing to offer your kind words and support.

I'm going to have to ask you to keep up the patience a little longer, until the end of June. By then I'll be free to re-vamp and kickstart the group again.

There will be lots of fun and necessary changes coming in the upcoming months, and I hope these will make the group a place you'll all want to be and a place you can have fun being in.

A few of the changes you can expect:
- More giveaways
- More group discussions
- More competitions
- Exclusive content and opportunities
- Possible opening/s to join our moderating panel as a co-moderator!

Until then thank you all for your support and I'll talk to you guys soon <3

They've all been sent :)

Hey guys! Sorry for the lateness - I've been busy + I had to wait a little longer as my internet's been slow (I'm in the mountains on a mid-term family trip) so it's taken ages to upload all the files. I return home this evening, so you should all receive your books this evening/tomorrow morning :)

Jay wrote: "What do you think about Nina Dobrev leaving TVD?"

I think it's sad that she's leaving after all this time (she's such a big part of the show!) - but I think she's done a brilliant job acting her various roles within TVD & I'm sure she'll do just as well in any future roles elsewhere :)

February's theme is still open - when it's been used, I'll be sure and replace it with a new one :)
