Books, Books and more Books discussion

Here is a thread for us mods. If you are not a mod, please don't read to avoid spoilers of things we may do in this group :)

its ok :) So have any good ideas for what else we should add? Im thinking about a monthly read.

ok

lol its fine. Honestly it took me abt 2 minutes to make that up :D

sweet right now im working on making my december read list :)

So whats the montly read going to be? I just posted a review of this group over on my blog (going up tommorow morning) to hopefully increase the traffic here. I'm participating in a Rebekah Morris blog tour so my blog should get traffic on Tuesday and lots of follows so then those people will look through my posts and see the latest one was this group :).

What should be our read for December?

Yes. I thought Into The Fae would be a great read. But sadly my school library or county library system thingy doesn't have it. :(

Maybe we could read I Am Malala or Warriors Don't Cry? I'm reading it at school so I could lead little discussions over them easily.

Or possibly a double montly read, like either Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone or Lion, The Witch, The Wardrobe?

I already followed a while ago :). So how about this?

December Joint Read (Narnia and Potter):

Hello book lovers! This December we are choosing to read The Lion, The Witch, The Wardrobe and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. You may participate, or not, the choice is yours to make. We will have weekly discussions over each. If you complete the challenge you will get a shiny sticker to put onto your Goodreads profile. Each month you can get a new one if you read the monthly books on here.

Rules of contest:
1. You cannot read before December 1.
2. You may not skim read the book(s). Doing so will result in expulsion from event if I figure that out.
3. The books must be finished on December 31 at 12p.m. your time. 4. A post also must be issued saying that you finished before 1a.m. January 1st.
5. YOU MUST HAVE FUN :)

So not both?

What else? Harry Potter, Narnia, what other two?

I mean we should have different genres so everyone would like to participate. Not everyone loves fantasy/magical fiction

Lydia wrote: "I know one member suggested Into the Fae and it seemed pretty good. So far we have Narnia, Harry Potter and that one. Maybe just three then? Also if we do Narnia I want to do it in chronological or..."

Ok, I'm good with that. Do you think I could add any of the following
Adela's Curse
Savage Winds
Afterdeath
Bound
I really want to read Into The Fae but I don't own it and I'm trying to only do books on

And how long should I wait for the poll results. I'm thinking November 28 so it gives time to get the books if they would like too?

Lydia wrote: "But maybe others don't own the books you do. You can always go to the library. We did a poll about different genres and everyone was different. I'm leaning towards Narnia, as it is a classic and in..."

k. My bets are placed on Narnia.

I just realized I've got to read this monthly read and like 4 other books in december. wow, december is going to be a monthful of books and exams...

Yep. Good title:
LAST VOTE: December Monthly Read

So do you think its ok if they would start in November but end in December? Another group i know does their challenges like that. Or should we say start on December 1 and end on December 30.

Thats what i say too :). Btw thanks for following my blog really appreciate it.

We're allowed to vote on it, correct? I voted Magicians Nephew :)

Lydia wrote: "Apparently Bryce made you one as he will be busy."

Is that ok, Lydia?

Lydia wrote: "Apparently Bryce made you one as he will be busy."

If not, i'm sorry. It's just I know you need help in here and I thought just in case some nights im busy cause of finals during school/studying for them you would need a replacement for me

Lydia wrote: "No it's fine, really. And sorry for not replying sooner. Next time though, could you ask me first? I like to know a head of time. Also I have two rules I want you to follow. No deleting people or m..."

Ok. Thanks. I get it.

Sweet :) Just followed :)

Please make the covers on the blog posts look better :( they're making me sad lol

So. I just sent out a message to all members about the poll. Hope they get it and fill it out :0

huh. did you try looking up the images and then changing the size page on google? Kat just got the message lol

Ah cool Kat.

So what do you think we can do to make this group better Kat?

Since your our new mod i thought i should ask :)

k i dont know then

well, i think im going to go. see you ladies later lol

Welp cant stay away from goodreads. im really gonna try to leave now :) What doy ou think about this, Lydia?

Good idea.

I also think we should have an email list so we can easily send book discussions over email and organize better, perhaps? Or no?

I need to get the award for December made up :). So its been, what, two days since you posted that poll, maybe we should just decide. I mean not many people are eager to particpate if they won't vote on a poll. Well, we should maybe give it another day

Lydia wrote: "I'm going to say no, because I won't give out my email."

Good point :) Privacy is good.

Lydia wrote: "Yea sorry. Also I say give it another day. Then I'll announce it on Monday or you can if you want."

I say you should. Your the owner :)

Is this good for the profile badge?
