Hi guys!

In this topic I will be looking for group discussion leaders for upcoming books. It is a big help to me when someone leads the discussion (I will always help you too). I will list the books that need leaders. Below are some resources for the novice group leaders.

When a book is posted it will be first come, first serve. Afterward I will delete the posts that relate to it to keep this thread clean.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) Lia,

Go to the group's home page. Scroll down a bit. When it says all new unread, click on new. Using the scroll down menu select the folder and choose the Shiver folder (http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_... can click on the select new topic from this folder page too) and then in the box start talking about the book and post your message. In the topic heading title list the book's name and say there will be spoilers if there will be so members know that. Or go to a thread, and post a reply in the comment box after you've read the messages already posted in the thread.

I think that's right. Moderators or other members, correct if I've given some bad advice.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) Lia,

To be a discussion leader it is best/easiest if the leader has already read the book or if they can at least finish the book toward the beginning of the month the group reads it, at the latest.

Also, you can take a look at some of the previous book discussions in this group and get an idea of what kinds of messages to encourage discussion that previous discussion leaders have posted.
