Stuck Between the Pages Book Club discussion

This is for moderators only to chat and share their ideas!

Moderators, can you choose a book to be one of our Moderator's Picks for September? It can be any book, just not one of the books we have already read or a book that is not the first in a series. If you could do it as soon as possible, that would be great.

I pick Eliza and Her Monsters.

Great choices!

Thank you!
So, here's the introduction of myself you requested:

I'm Tiffany (they/them). I love books -- well, not all books, but you get the idea -- writing, and animals. I tend to read nonfiction, adult fantasy and YA contemporary and historical fiction, but sometimes I branch out.

Will that do, or do I need to add anything else?

That's perfect, thanks!

Hello! Thanks for accepting me as a mod! I'll choose Breathtaking by Courtney Turcotte Bond.

I’ll add it tomorrow!

haha me too :)

what are moderator's picks?

Thank you Lacey <3

okay, thanks Adela!

We have three types of BOTMs. Two of them the members suggest and then vote on. The first one is the Themed BOTM, which is a book related to the theme we have chosen that month. For example, June was LGBTQIA+ books for Pride Month. The second is the Member’s Pick, which can be any book suggested by the members. The Moderator’s Pick is for the moderators to choose any one book, and that is one of the BOTMs. As we get more mods, I might not do the Moderator’s Pick, or we will rotate who gets to pick each month.

Sorry, I didn’t see Adela’s comment! Hopefully my comment describes the other two types in more detail!

Oh, I see. Thanks Lacey!

Hi! Thanks for making me a mod. My introduction:
I am Amodini. Call me Am. I love reading and writing. My favourite genres are middle grade, contemporary YA and mythology though I read any book that keeps me on edge. I also love cute rom-coms :)

My pick of this month is Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson :)

Hi, I just became a mod! My name is Abby.

ABBYYY YAY I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE A MOD

I want to squish you right now

😊 Haha, thanks! Anyone tell me if they need any help.

Hi, Katie and Abby! I'm a moderator here too (although I'm not nearly as active here as I should be).

Hey Tiffany!

Hey everyone! It's time to pick your read for October

I think I’ll choose The Hate U Give

I'm afraid to say I have to resign from my position as moderator. I'm sorry, but things came up and I feel really bad about not being active enough to begin with, and I'm going to be less active on Goodreads in general in the future now.

Tiffany, I’m sad you’re leaving, but I understand why you need to leave. Good luck with school and everything else. I’ll miss you!

Lacey, does this mean we need a new mod?

Bye Tiffany

My pick for this month will be Loveless by Alice Oseman.

Hey guys! I am so sorry I am not active here and I feel really bad. I can continue giving ideas if I have but I am leaving this position. Is it fine?

crap then we're going to be short two mods. Amodini, yes, it's fine if you leave if you really don't want to be a mod. thank you for helping us though!

Thank you! There might be others who want the position....
Thanks anyway :)

Hey guys, thanks for letting me know. That’s perfectly fine and I wish you luck in all other things.

Right now, here are our mods:
Lacey
Katie
Lemon girl
Dalia
Abby

Also, please do some fun things!

Sorry, we weren't really active this month, let's start planning for November!

My pick is The Book Thief!

I was thinking we could do a challenge, any ideas?

Heartstopper?

ahhhh yesss heartstopper. i just discovered it's on webtoon and i binge read all 140 episodes of it. NICK AND CHARLIE ARE LITERALLY MY OTP AHHHHH I'M OFFICIALLY OBSESSED

Of course!

hello, i think i'm going to leave this group because i'm not very active here, and other people aren't active either. i'm so sorry!!

Okay, that’s fine. I’ve been wanting to do more things but I’ve been really busy so this has gone down the drain. I’m really sorry.
