♡ ya readers ౨ৎ ₊ ⊹ discussion

Hey, fellow mods! I created this discussion folder for us since GR removed messages. I was wondering if y'all needed help with the July update (counting points, ideas, etc.)? Js lemme know if y'all do! Love you girllssss <3

Yeah, if you want to get started on it, we'd appreciate it! We should probably get started with counting points, if you don’t mind. I'm at church rn, but I'll be about to help later. The colors for this month are red, white, and blue though 🙃

Alr, perfect; sounds good!

Guys, for some reason I am barely seeing any point logging posts for this month? Only like 1-4 per house... Is this the same on your end or am I js having technical issues? Because if not then I have counted up the points alr.

It's the same for me. Which is odd considering I got so many notifications for the logging in June 😭

Right??? In that case here is the leaderboard-
Blue Lilac: 650
Silver Ivy: 525
Diamond Evergreen: 200
Lemon Calla: 175
Mint Blossom: 0
Black Rose: 0

I can’t believe points are this low; it seemed like there was more activity!

Which I completely forgot to log my points, or else Silver Ivy would have been 1st 😀🤦🏼‍♀️😭

I know, right?! It's so weird!

Sorry I’m not a moderator but Black Rose has been logging books all month! I’ve seen other houses too so I can count Black Rose at least if you want

Could just be a glitch that it’s not working rn 🤷🏻‍♀️

Really??? That’s so odd! We’ll you counting them would be fine for me; are the other mods ok with this? Also, are the logged under the points chat or elsewhere?

Sorry to interrupt, but Blue Lilac has 7525 points. I just counted.
5725 points in the point logging thread ( count includes message 197) and 1800 points for the chaotic summaries. I don't know how many points there were for the Roll Call thing

Thank you so much!

Yea they should be under the point chat, but I’ll count them up right now

K so I counted up 5,975 points for Black Rose 🥀 counting the summer challenge stuff and the book point logging!

Thanks so much!! I wonder why Jasmine and I cannot see the points??

Yea that’s really weird…if it’s still like that when I wake up I can count up the other houses!

Ok, I can see everything now on my phone; for some reason my computer did not show all the threads and comments. So I am counting the rest of the houses' points up now. Thank you Molly and Kay for your help; much appreciated!

Ofc! Happy it worked out!!

Should I js up adage the banner and monthly challenge myself?? I haven’t heard from Izzy, so I imagine she is busy; I don’t mind doing it if she needs!

Seeing as we are alr a week into July, I am going to take the liberty to update everything. Lemme know if any changes should be made!

Hey, guys! Should we start planning out the August challenge so that we can update everything on time? I have some suggestions for next month's challenges. Also, who all is still active? I miss y'all! xoxo

Yeah, we probably should. Thank you so much for the work you've been doing, Delilah! 🫶🏻 I'm somewhat active 😅 but I doubt I will be much after this month because I start college in a few weeks.

Hey, no worries! College comes before this 100%. Hopes that goes well btw! Okay here are some ideas:

August 2026 Challenge

Potential Challenge Names

- Late Summers and Literature Days
- Fading Lights and Final Chapters
- The Last Chapter of Summer

- The Dog Days of Reading

Potential BOTMs

- The Fast Track by Angelica Cheng
- I Hope This Doesn’t Find You by Ann Liang

- Book that has a movie/tv-show adaptation
- Book that features a high-school or college party

Some potential color/emoji schemes could be:

- Bright “back-to-school” colors 📚✏️🚌🖍️✂️📒
- Sunflower yellow, marmalade orange, cactus green, terracotta 🍄‍🟫🌻🍯🌇🌱🌾
- “Dark Academia” colors 🪐☕️🎱🎹🥀📀

I vote fading lights and finding chapters!

I vote Fading Lights and Final Chapters, too! And I think we should do the soft oranges, mauve, and burgundy, but back to school colors would work great too!

If y'all wanted to do that in

*instead

I’m fine with oranges, can we use dark academia for September bc that matches school vibes but more fallish times

I think we should use all the prompts listed. Ik it’s a lot but people are reading less and less active lately so it’d be kinda like a motivation thing when people see midway point scores higher

Yeah, I agree.

Okiii perfect! Did y’all want me to do the updates again or no? I do not mind helping!

I don’t mind either way!

Kk! I’ll get started then. Also, what books for the BOTM should we do?

I don’t really have much of an opinion seeing as I don’t know of those but ik people love I hope this doesn’t find you

Ok, I’ll add that one for now, and for the other one I will let Jasmine pick!

Sounds lovely! You’re amazing tysm

Let's go with The Fast Track by Angelica Cheng!

Perfect! (I was hoping that one got picked 😚 lol)

Hey, Izzy! Are we still doing roll calls and chaotic summaries? I know they were summer challenges, and technically August is still summer ig? If not should we come up with new challenges to keep members active?

Once I have that info I'll send the message announcing winners and said updates
