Book BFFs discussion

Hello girls!!!

I am going to make an ideas topic.

Can anyone make a graphic for the group's phot?

PS You all are moderators!!

I don't think you want to use any graphic I could come up with! Ideas topic sounds like a fantastic thing!

Sure! I vote it's an awesome image of a cookie as was mentioned on twitter.

I'll make a badge today and then submit it to the ideas board for approval. Yes?

I watched an "episode" of that vaginal fantasy book club thing and it was really funny. We should definitely do something like that eventually.

I just watched some of it too! It's hilarious!

i just watched some too and I love them! I agree one day something like this would be so fun!!!!!

Who wants to take charge of this project?

If we decide what to do I'm happy to take on responsibility!

OK sounds good... If we do this though it might be a good idea to host it on a neutral blog we can all join in and link it from our own personal blog.

just a thought...

agreed - it'll be easier too we can "take turns hosting" so to speak LOL

Yeppers. And I started a facebook group also. Easier to track our conversation if it's all in one place. Not that I am not enjoying this.

Facebook group

yay!

I watched part of the vaginal fantasy thing as well.
Honestly, who is going to watch us talk for an hour?? It's not like we're Felicia Day and famous ;P I couldn't even make it through an hour of them talking...haha

I'd totally be down for us getting on oovoo or something and having a live bookclub for our monthly picks though! That would be super fun!!!

Of course, if you guys want to make it streamed live for everyone to watch like that, I'm cool with whatever...teehhee.

Oh, I don't think it should be for an entire hour. Yeah, I've never watched an entire one. They start to bore me about 20 minutes in. I think if we shoot for 15-30 minutes then it could work.

I vote we start a youtube channel that we host it on and then we could have other vlogs periodically or on a schedule. Depending on how often we want to do vlog time things.

I like the idea.
What service could we use to film us all at once that would upload to youtube?

G+ does I believe. We could do a random chat to test it out and then see what we think of it.

random chat sounds like a good idea to test it out. we need to test our "live chemistry"

Google hangouts are awesome. I think that's what VF used. And 15-30 mins sounds good. We can always talk about topics that are going on in the blogging world too like plagiarism, ARCs, bookish pet peeves, New Adult genre, etc.

Cookies!

Cookies also! We should all be eating cookies during these vlogs!

Yep, we should!

I love baking so I'm all for any excuse to make cookies haha

Cookies for cookies!

Cookies!!!

OMG! How amazingly cute is that!

I've been super sick for the last few weeks (I have a blood condition that drains me) but today I finally felt good enough to do normal things and I primped like crazy.

I put a selfie up on instagram, with big undereye circles and all. Thank goodness for filters!

Do you guys go to #TeaTime Wednesdays? I love it! If you don't you should check it out. It's two girls that work for Harper Teen that do live video chats talking about books (and giveaway books). And everyone tweets with the hashtag #TeaTime and they read some of the tweets sometime. It's like a big bookish party every week!

Wednesdays at 3:45pm EST

I love TeaTime!! I go every Wednesday I can :D
I won a big prize pack a few weeks ago! Hope it gets here soon!

Oh, hadn't heard of it, but I'll have to start going!

That's awesome! I won The Madman's Daughter awhile back from them. They're really funny too.

I have never even heard of TeaTime so I am SO excited about this!!!!!

ps longest school day of the week for me but so glad I came home to all the goodread notifications :D

OH also today I was in a hurry to vote and I locked myself out of my apartment! (thankful for my landlord right now)

maybe it'll be my chance to win something! TeaTime sounds like a blast!
The only thing I ever won was Mirage by Kristi Cook. During a release party Twitter Chat.
oh and I've locked myself out too many times to count. I'm a ridiculous clutz!!

Well we had a terrible election in BC today. Christy Clark is back in power (as someone actively pursuing a career in the film industry this is terrible news). Only 48% of our population here voted, and the majority of those who didn't were in my age demographic and you can bet they will be actively voicing their opinions about how much the results sucked. Why so lazy young adults?! (Not us of course, we all rule) /end rant of doom.

I agree! Our generation just doesnt care much for voting. It's a shame!

I care a TON about politics and there are some like me, but not many.

Yes!!!! I feel like we are the few and we should be the many LOL

So of course now that I was all excited for you guys to experience Tea Time they cancelled it for today (and I've been going for the past three months and they have never cancelled it lol) bad timing. But next week!

Yes!!!! I'm actually glad to hear it was cancelled so I can be home for it LOL

My copy of the Fault In Our Stars just got delivered!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

Yay! I'm terrified to read something by John Green, because I respect him so much. Seriously, when the world is in chaos and I'm upset about it I usually go look to see what he is saying and it instantly calms me.

That doesn't sound insane right? Okay perhaps a bit insane. But he is so wise and articulate.

I just bought Looking For Alaska. I haven't read any John Green, but I hear he's amazing. I like watching his youtube videos he's pretty funny

Have yet to read any John Green! When it comes to contemporaries I'm not the biggest fan of the genre.

Neither am I! But I've heard such good things about him!

AAHHHH You must read more contemporary. (I will get kicked out of the contemporary fan club when I admit to not having read Sarah Dessen yet though...haha0

Omg u need to read Sarah Dessen. If u do start with The Truth About Forever. I also love Simone Elkeles! And Stephanie Perkins is pretty good too
