YA Bookworms discussion

Hey guys I opened this topic so we can chat easier through this. So how can we get more people to vote on our polls any ideas?

Hey guys I'm thinking of deleting the group there's been like 0 activity soo yeah anythoughts

Hi guys
So bad news like worse than when I found out that Will died or worse when I found out there wasn't another harry potter book (okay maybe not worse than that) but I have to delete my goodreads account ,all of it:(. Trust me I didn't go down without a fight. But in the end I probably did spend to much time on it and last year I probably could have made better grades and since going into high school is "just so important" I have to delete it:( so bye guys

So guys I was looking through the BOTMs folder and noticed that there's like zero suggestions for what books we should do. I feel like there should be a lot more books than just a max of 4 suggestions (on a good month) for each month. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've noticed this too but I have no clue what to do about it. I feel like I already nag people about voting on the poll to much so I dont want to overly nag them on other things. Do I? I know that Lauren brought it up to me in another group that I did, but it annoys me so much when people that get on Goodreads won't take the time to vote.

Do you think we could just send one quick thing out in an announcement or something? Just say hey the group would be a lot better if you gave us suggestions for BOTM. With the suggestions we have now were sorta limited in what we do

Sure, I will do it now.

Hey Emma, quick question. Do we have a discussion forum for chatting about book-to-movie adaptions?

Ha, never mind, just found it. :)

Lol! Its funny you asked that b/c I had a hard time finding that topic when I first joined this group also. :)

Hey, Emma, can I create a forum for the Paper Towns movie? :) I thought it'd be fun, since casting news and stuff is coming out recently.

I would totally support that! So pumped!

Have you seen that we have our Margo?!

OMG no who??

Cara Delevingne! She doesn't look quite like how I imagined Margo, but I'm still really excited. John Green said she nailed her audition and really gets Margo, so I think she'll do a great job!

That is an awesome idea!!! I'm so excited for this movie to come out

Yesssssssssss!

OMG i just saw who they casted as Margo...PLEASE tell me that they're gonna make her have strait brown hair!!! Curly blonde is too non-Margo-ish

I hope soooooo! :/ I don’t think she looks like Margo at all, honestly, but John Green said she nailed her audition and really gets Margo, soooo. Here's hoping they Margo her up! :)

Do we have a topic for people to broadcast their personal blogs (tumblr, instagram, twitter, pinterest, etc) I know there's one for people's book blogs but what about their other ones? Just a thought and obviously I don't want to make one only to find out that we actually have one and now there's two

I don't know if we do, but that's a great idea! :) I'm sure a lot of people in the group have blogs!

Would anyone be opposed to me making one?

I think it'd be awesome! What do you think, Emma??

I think that would be great! Could one of you post the topic under a folder you think is best?? I've been CRAZY busy lately with school so sorry I've been slacking off lol

No problem I feel the same way. I'll make it tonight after school and let you know

Awesome. Thanks Caitie!

I posted the thing under general if y'all want to check it out

Hey Emma, I'm going to make a chat forum for Rick Riordan's new series, Magnus Chase. I'm definitely wanting to discuss it, and I'm sure other people do, too. :) Hopefully that's okay!

Hey guys so I'm going on a tech hiatus here for two reasons: 1) starting next week we're doing a project where you drop social media for a week and see the effects on your life in English and 2) if patterns hold true I will be grounded this weekend so..I'll be back (hopefully) next weekend

Okay! Do you have anything you do specifically as a mod that you'd like me to take care of for you while you're gone? :)

THats perfect, Audrey!

I'm baaaaaack

hey!

Hi Caitie! :) And thank you, Emma!

You have no idea how painful it was to not go on here. I saw all the emails and was just dying internally!

LOL! Yeah, I've felt that pain before.

Hey, Emma, this is going to seem like an odd question, but what's our group policy on swearing? I don't do it, and I'm not here to report anyone, but there's this EpicReads Selection video that I absolutely love - the only thing is, there's a swear word in it. If you're not okay with it, no problem, I totally, completely get it! But if you are, let me know so I can upload it! :) Thanks!

Yeah, I wouldn't mind it at all! :) I just ask people to in general keep things at a PG-13 material.
I'm looking forward to watching it!

Guys I have a suggestion. This group is mostly teenagers who are probably going through somewhat of a tough time so I was wondering maybe we should have an advice column so that we can discuss and also get closer with some of the members. What do you guys think? I think it would be helpful in some of the situations we are going through.

I think that's a cool idea Tanya!

You could put the topic up under General, and then send out a group message if you wanted too.

YAY! we missed you!!

YAY HI! We never talked much but hi I'm a new-ish mod (been here for four months? I think?) and I'm glad you're back! *clapping emoji*

Sorry, haven't been active. The holidays keep you so busy. How was your holiday?

Sooooooo I've noticed a bit of inactivity lately (I'm assuming it's because school and holidays and whatnot) but I'm wondering how we can spruce everything up so we have a bit more flow. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe like more books to talk about or a new game or try to get new members? I'm bad at coming up with ideas :P

Sorry I haven't been active lately I'll try to be more active, things have just been really busy for me over the holidays and I was sick for a while

Sorry I've been slacking off! I've had the flu and 2 colds in the past 2 weeks on top of all the holiday things, and things with my friends.

I'm sure you guys noticed but I finally sent out the BOTM message. And Caitie, I think thats a great idea! Could you maybe find a new game or contest? If your too busy than I completely understand so don't feel pressured.

Looks like we're quite the selection (<-- book pun *pity laugh*) of sickies. I too have been down for the count with a pretty nasty cold. I'm celebrating Christmas (again) this weekend but I can get one up by Tuesday

Ok thanks! I'm sorry you've been sick. It sucks so much. I celebrated xmas again yesterday also haha
