Interested in becoming a mod? Comment your "application" answering these questions:

Why do you want to become a mod?

Why do you think you should become a mod?

How active are you on Goodreads?

Have you ever been a mod before?

Anything else?


I may end up posting new/additional questions, but as of now, these are the questions. Best of Luck!


message 2: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Heywood (tiffthebooknerd) | 47 comments Mod
I would like to become mod as I like to feel like I belong to something and I feel like I can bring new things to the group with your permission.

Like I said I think I should be mod as il will try to bring new things to the group like readathons with your permission. I'm also very reliable and I can do whatever you ask me :)

I am on goodreads everyday when I'm not at work as I have the app on my phone so it's open all the time.

I'm a mod in two groups but one I'm really active in and the other I am not so I'm going to leave that one as I'm not enjoying it. If I was a mod in this group I will be more active as can be

Trisha (theteareader) 1. I would like to be a mod because I like making new friends, and I like contributing as much as I can.

2. I'm fun, I spend more time on here than I really should.

3.I'm on here everyday all day, I have the app on my phone and it goes with me everywhere.

4.Yes I'm a mod for two other groups and i'm very active on both.

5. Regardless if I become a mod for this group or not I will still try to be very active in this group.


message 7: by Aliza (new)

Aliza (ashascott12) 1. I would like to be moderator because I enjoy meeting new people via Goodreads, finding out about new books, and recommending books to others. I've always wanted to have my own book club and being a moderator would be similar to that.
2. I'm very passionate about reading. (But honestly, everyone on here is, haha.) That being said, I also like to encourage people to read. And I am very eager to discuss books with people on Goodreads since most of the people I am around do not read.
3. I am pretty active on Goodreads. I made my account a few years ago and then started joining groups and actually logging on daily this past January. I read statuses, update my own book statuses, and write reviews every now and then. Sometimes I play games on the threads for various groups but I really am here for the literature.
4. I've never been a moderator before but I think it would be pretty fun.
5. I am a nursing major in nursing school, so on the days I have clinicals I can't do much until after 6pm.


message 8: by Grace (new)

Grace (markedforcourt) | 25 comments 1. Because I am kind of shy and I'd like to make friends and break out of my shell a bit.

2. I am down to try out just about any idea anyone (or I) can think up. I also adore books (haha thats why I joined) and I'm always open to talking about them and listening to others talk about them!

3. I'm on every day (unless I'm drowning in schoolwork).

4. Sadly no but it seems really good and fun.

5. I write and enjoy reading others writing

Madelyn Rose | 382 comments Mod
Just to let everyone know, I will be selecting 1-2 mods within the next few days. Ideally I will be done before 10:00 Eastern U.S. Time on Sunday, April 3rd.

I will be judging based on responses and how active you are on the page. This will be a tough decision, but I will let you guys know if I am having timing issues.

Why do you want to become a mod?

Why do you think you should become a mod?
Because...I want to...JK! No, umm...I love interacting with people, discussing books, and being part of the GR community. I also have a lot of great ideas that I think will benefit this group.

message 17: by Renee (new)

Renee Blasey (shygiraffe) Why do you want to become a mod?
I want to be more social on this website and help around in anyway I can.

Why do you think you should become a mod?
I may not be great at socializing but I'm willing to try, I'm always reading books, yes more than one and yes I can keep up, plus its just something I would love to do.

How active are you on Goodreads?
I am on at least twice a day. if not once.

Have you ever been a mod before?
Only in my bookclub but the only reason that place is so quiet is because the people that are in it are never online. ever.

Anything else?
I feel like I can contribute any book challenge Ideas and be able to recommend books to people that want to know what they should read next.
