LS’s Comments (group member since Oct 21, 2014)

LS’s comments from the The Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge group.

The July 2020 book winner is Fellowship of the Ring.

Sönne and Holly will now be helping to moderate this group!

Hello everyone!! This group has grown a TON, which is absolutely awesome. However... I have been insanely busy with my company and work things this year.. and haven't had as much time to devote to this group. I'd love to bring on 1-2 moderators who can help jump in and keep this running!

Please let me know if you're interested.

I am so sorry I have been MIA around here! Thank you to everyone who stepped in and started October 2018 and Quarter 4 threads, polls etc.

With that being said, please leave up to 3 titles below for the November 2018 group read.

The September 2018 group read is Eat Pray Love! Meret will be leading the discussion, so please look out below for her posts. Comment if you plan to join in! Maybe we can watch the movie on this one too :)

Forgot to add above- the choices for the poll are usually the most request books on this thread!

Hi Stephanie- every month I get somewhere from 5-10 inbox messages with suggestions it makes it hard to keep track of on my part which is why I have the thread set up. If I have one or two in my inbox that haven’t been mentioned much or sound like something the group would like I add it on to the poll. That’s what I did this month with eat pray love. I had two messages with it so added it to the poll and that looks like it was a popular choice!

Wonderful, thank you!

Amaka wrote: "Also, for clarification, would the winter challenge start December 2018, January 2019 or December 2019?"

Great, I've added you above thank you!
The winter challenge is actually going to run Jan 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019.

Holly, great! Thank you. See above where I added you in :)

Hi everyone! I am trying to get a head start on making sure we have people lined up for 2019 to lead discussions etc. One thing I am going to implement as well, in addition to the monthly leaders and re-read leaders, is someone to lead a mini-challenge each season. You can go back and look at previous challenges to see how the lists are created! It's easy and fun!

Please leave a comment below with what you'd like to sign up for and which month/season/quarter!

Thanks!

Stephanie wrote: "Can you mark me down for November? Will I get a reminder?? I could use one."

Yes and Yes :)

Hi everyone, thank you Holly and Windy for getting polls set up for your books! This has been a very hectic month on my side so I really appreciate the help!

I'll be back on schedule for August. Windy and Holly, please let me know what book(s) win your polls so I can add them to the bookshelf. Thank you.

Please remember: the July book should come from Rory's list which can be found on the Black, White and Read blog book list, which is linked in the How It Works tread at the top of this group. These nominations should be for books that the group has NOT yet read.

The Quarter 3 re-read should be a book that this group has already read that you are wanting to either re-read, didn't get a chance to read or finish from a prior month. You can find these titles on the "read" bookshelf for this group!

The June group read winner is the Joy Luck Club! Colleen will be leading your discussion for this book, so look out below for her posts. In the meantime, let us know if you'll be joining in below!
