Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) I'd love to hear what you have to say. I'd really want some suggestions as to what you think we can add to the group or what changes you'd want me to make. Ideas for games? Post them here. If you have a cool challenge in mind post them here too. :)

Daniel (TheTravelingInformant) I don't know. We could all make a list of our top 5 favorite songs of all time? I don't know...just throwing ideas around.....

Yeah lets try to get on that. I have a game called the list 10. Maybe you could join in. People could add up their lists. :p Then after 10 another list gets made. :p

Let me see what I can do about that. I'll create a random topic folder where you can start those threads! :)

Samantha Arnold (nahteeraisamanthaarnold) Can we have any challenges or competitions? :D Like the one that you made in We <3 YA Books! a while ago. We had to do things to earn points and you'd tally them and then the winner wins a prize... That thing if you can remember. :P

Yeah I'll try to make that points system again. I'll try to make it more organized this time just so that I won't have a hard time like the last time. :)
Thanks for bringing it up Samantha! :)

message 15: by Doruntina (new)

Doruntina | 30 comments how about: books you couldn't decide whether you hated or loved and why? lol just something i thought would be fun.


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) Yeah Dori thanks! :)
Let's put it on a book chat folder. :)


message 17: by Francis (new)

Francis (mynameislance) | 12 comments how about what book would you love to read for the coming christmas season? since its already the star of "Ber" months. lol. just random thoughts sorry. ^^


message 18: by Francis (new)

Francis (mynameislance) | 12 comments or how about this, if your life is a novel, what would be the title and the genre of it? :D


 M (Inactive because school)  (unencumberedlass) | 56 comments How about,"If you're a paranormal/supernatural creature, what would you be and why?"

...or we could do "5 least favorite authors" since "5 most fave authors" is pretty common nowadays so why not?


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) Ohh. Those are interesting suggestions. :p we could definitely do those! :)


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) How about for game? Or challeges? Any thoughts?


message 22: by Francis (new)

Francis (mynameislance) | 12 comments uhh, I dunno what games are we suppose to organize here. can you give us examples of games/challenges you guys did back then? :)


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) We still have some examples there i think. :p word games would be good :p


message 24: by S.K. (new)

S.K. Munt (wordwhisperer) How about an ideal book mash up? People name 3 books they LOVE that they would like to see all smushed together in an ideal storyline! What 3 books have the formula to create one perfect story?


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) Wow. That is really interesting. :) would you want to moderate that activity? It shoul befun!! :p

I'd love to see an example of that. looks pretty interesting :)


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) I know. :p i've been to other groups and havent really heard of anything like it so i think that will really be fun. :)


message 28: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) I found a book challenge in other groups wherein within 1 year, you have to read books set in each US state. (that's like 50 books)


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) Wow. :p that is a tough one. Do you think we should make a poll for all the suggestions and the best ones get to be placed on the group or just put them all in?


message 30: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) A poll will be good. Yes the US state challenge was a difficult one. :)


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) Did you try it? Ahaha. I dont think i'll be able to finish that one Ahahaha. It looks hard. :0


message 32: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) Yes, I tried it and it's still on going. :)


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) Cool. I suck at challenges. Ahaha. :p


message 34: by Francis (new)

Francis (mynameislance) | 12 comments I can only do that if I quit my job, go home to province and just read 24/7. lol :D


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) Same here @francis. I'm such a slow reader now it pains me. Aahaha


message 36: by Francis (new)

Francis (mynameislance) | 12 comments me too. My reading time on weekdays is only at night after I came home from work, but then again I always fall asleep after I go beyond 4 chapters. hahaha

Okay I won't name so it's not a plug but I've had some weird comparisons to my own. People say it's like The Princess Bride mashed with True Blood and The Little Mermaid.


BUT if I were to make a book out of books I love (I'll start with vampires to make this easy given all the options!), I say Interview With a Vampire and Lolita and The Passage. Girl gets turned into Vampire when she is too young but instead of dying, lives until an older vampire focuses his attentions on her. His bite begins her ageing process again and they fall madly in love ;)


Just for instance ;)

a playlist for books would be very cool. Great suggestion Autumn. Hey, your name reminds me of my favorite movie, 500 days of summer. lol :D

that's one of my all time favorites. Plus, the soundtracks for that movie are AMAZING. ^^ I even thought there was a novel version of it. lol


message 43: by S.K. (new)

S.K. Munt (wordwhisperer) It seems like one of those movies that was a book first doesn't it?


message 44: by Autumn (new)

Autumn Doughton | 2 comments Yes, it does seem like it should have been a book first which is probably why it's one of my favorites also. And one of my best friend's names is Summer. We start a lot of conversations. People are never sure if we're joking or if we're strippers. hahaha


message 45: by S.K. (new)

S.K. Munt (wordwhisperer) almost made me snort coffee out my nose


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) Fantastic suggestions guys.. :) @s.k what do you wanna call it? Will it be like the most creative mashup wins? :p


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) @autum: those are cool threads. Let me get to it tomorrow morning my time when i'm on my desktop at work. Its actually hard doing that pn my phone. Lol


message 48: by S.K. (new)

S.K. Munt (wordwhisperer) Most appealing overall I say! Hmmm now for a name....


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) Hey guys!! I'm also thinking that we should do a read a long of the book of the month so everyone could participate. Like certain chapters for a certain week or something. How's that sound?


message 50: by S.K. (new)

S.K. Munt (wordwhisperer) Litmix!
