Challenge Corner discussion

This is where we will be posting any announcements that you need to know or be aware of regarding the group and its activities. These may include: notices for when to put in last-minute suggestions for the book of the month, links to current challenges/book of the month, links to polls, etc. These will be more regular than the group messages, which are sent out about twice a month, and may be helpful to keep yourself up to date with group activities if you forget something.

As voted by you guys, we'll be reading for May. The read will begin on May 20th and we'll take things at our own pace.

Please start posting suggestions for June's book of the month in that thread so we can compile a list.

Sign-ups are now open for our summer quarter challenge. Please sign up here. I hope you guys enjoy this challenge.☺

Guys, don't forget to post suggestions for June's book of the month. If none are posted by May 25, we'll have to read the runner-up for May in June.☺

Hi all,
Firstly I would like to apologise for being away for so long I have had family emergency after emergency however as of tonight I will be more of an active mod in the group!

Hope to speak to you all soon!

Guys, I'll be busy with college stuff for the next few days so I'll try and be on as much as possible.

Guys, I'll be updating both the August summer clean-out and SSS threads later today. Also, I'll create a new challenge for September. Lastly, don't forget to post suggestions for September's book of the month.☺️

Hey, what are the challenges for September? :)

Sorry, I've been MIA for the past months. Is there a September challenge? Because I would love to participate in it.

Yes there will be. Sorry it's late guys I'll create one when I get in from the hospital before work. Is there anything in particular you'd like it to be?:)

Oh my goodness are you ok? Or do you work at a hospital? Sorry if that's a bit personal.

Yeah I'm okay, I don't mind personal:). I'm visiting my gran as she's in hospital with Pneumonia:/ she seemed a little brighter today:). That's why I've been so rubbish on this group lately haha. Sorry guys!:( x

Oh, I hope she feels better!

If you guys decide you need another moderator, let me know. I'd be happy to help out. :) I currently have a group and did a small one in the past, so I've done some of it before.

You have a group?! What is it?:)

A friend and I just started it at the beginning of last month. Read Together, Blog Together (https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...) It's for buddy reading and doing blog discussion posts. :)

It looks really good! If I ever need any help/ another mod I'll be sure to let you know!:) x

Thanks! And yep, just let me know. I'm on here a lot (too much probably), so it wouldn't be a problem.

Thank you so much:) you'll be the first person I come too:)x

Oh I'm so sorry Elizabeth! But I'm happy she's a bit better today!

Also Courtney, that group looks cool!

Thanks, Maya! :)

Sorry I have been MIA! This is my first real holiday break since I started college. I will update threads today.

I hope your semester has been going well, Jackie! I know it can get a bit crazy.

Yes, it's been okay so far. I need to catch up on some reading, but otherwise it's been fine. I've updated both the SSS and Clean-out threads.

Winners: Please message Elizabeth for prizes!

Remember: post book suggestions for September

Also, thanks for volunteering to be a mod! We'll let you know if we need help.:) For now, I'd just say invite people to the group so that we can grow!☺️

Guys, we will only have one challenge for September so I can get everything straight in college. I'm creating a quarter challenge to start in October and thinking of another monthly challenge.

You're welcome. :) I'll definitely invite people.

Thanks Courtney!:)

I hope you guys understand and I'll speak to you all soon<3

Oh I'm so sorry!
