Activists of YA discussion

Hey! If you have some ideas to improve this group, please post here!
Also, if you have any questions on how things work, go for it and ask here. :)

You should add some James Patterson books

Yeah, I have. All kids ones though. The only kind of mature-ish one is Homeroom Diaries

I have question, why are all the reading challenges either about cokoured women or feminism? I am a male and i actuslly find the fact that every chsloenge is about some sort of female oroboem extremely offensive. Coloured men struggle as well, males just don't show there pain like women do.

It is because Women's day was 2 days ago and this month is Women's history month. Please don't take offense we are celebrating it because of this month.

Ok...

Hey Atlas! Sorry it took so much time to see this but could you specify what books by James Patterson you want a topic of?

Or do you want me to make a topic just generally for James Patterson?

Correct!

Hy, I have been thinking about reading some fantasy but I`m not sure what to read. I haven`t red any fantasy books but I`ve heard many good things about the "Shadows between us" and "The cruel prince". Are they good and which one would you guys recommend?

I would definitely recommend The Cruel Prince series, I loved it.

I haven't read either lol, but a good fantasy is Legendborn, and the Percy Jackson series.

I also would recommend Harry Potter.

I've heard good things about both of the books you've mentioned, so if you read those two I'm sure you will enjoy!

That is amazing! I cant access to books like this unless I order them from bookdepostry or amazon. I`m very exited to read both.

I have a suggestion!!

Maybe you could create a National Day thread, and each day someone posts the National day and talk about it!

^^For example, today is National Scribble day, I could say I love to doodle or something

Poet♡ wrote: "Oh cool, we’ll do that!"

Great! :)

I have some more, and I'll plant my thoughts here!

Great Idea!! :)

Mango wrote: "Great Idea!! :)"

Thanks :)

I got another idea! Maybe for April 1st (April Fools Day), we can have a huge buddy read, like a BOTM but it's Buddy read Of The Month! It has to be a comedy read, and we can ask for ideas too! A humor book, and that includes--
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Smile
Sisters
And more!!

Heyyy that's a great idea! Let's see what Poet thinks of it! :)

Great!

Does anyone know any good places to order books cheaply?

Amazon?

I don`t have access to it sadly

Ely wrote: "Does anyone know any good places to order books cheaply?"

Yep! It's called: Book Outlet

Here's the link: https://bookoutlet.com/

Thank youu

Ely wrote: "Thank youu"

Yep! Glad I could help! :)

I have a suggestion. So for the movie meet thing, could you maybe record the meet? So for the people who can't watch it, they can start at the same time as the movie and we could talk about it on a thread.I know its a bit of a dumb suggestion lol

Oh, it's on the right 3 dots. Click that and there would be a button called "record meeting", and you click that

Thanks!

Thriftbooks is another good place.
Heres the link:

Does anyone want to buddy read the second Percy Jackson book?

@Lilly, put it in the Buddy Read Request Topic. That way more people will see. :))

Thank you💕 I didn’t find it at first :)

It's fine! Enjoy. :)

If there isn't already one I think we should add a topic to share book reviews as well as a topic to rant about stuff ( not a debate, just to rant, vent etc.)

oh, okay

Could you make a 'share your music' thing?

Sure!

Share your music topic

I was just wondering if you could make a topic about anger management issues? I have really bad anger management issues and it would be nice to hear other peoples' stories and if they know anything that can help.

Yeah sure!

Would you like it to be in the activism or the about you folder?

Thanks! I think...about you?

Okay! Sure thing. :)

Anger Management Topic has been posted!

Just an Idea, I think we should do an lgbtq+ themed readathon in June for pride month. I know a lot of people in this group are lgbtq+ community supporters or are in the community. Idk, I just thought it would be a fun thing to do in the group.

That's a great idea, thank you! We will do that in June. :)

I always found the month things a little weird, I don't think we need like a black history month or a LGBTQ+ month (Especialy because the LGTQ tends to pick on the B and say we are invalid)
