Your welcome. Also I finally found out how to do the title thing that goes after your name!!!

Oh good job! Do I get one? Lol

Yes, just go to members and under your name it should say add title. If you can't find it you can tell me what you want and I'll do it.

I need to get a second opinion on something. For the roleplay one person hasn't confirmed yet and two people may be interested in joining the roleplay that has already started. Any ideas?

I'd say message the one who has signed up but hasn't been active, to see what's up.
Then have the two people who are asking get set up to roleplay

Ok. Thanks, I'll do that.

Future Challenge Ideas:

Book M.A.S.H. Challenge:
Themed After the Game M.A.S.H. Probably will last two months. Starts sometime in January or February.

Hi
I want to be a moderator because I’ve loved so much been part of this group and I really think that I could help you with great ideas, also right now I have a lot of time in my hands so I’ll be in this 100%.

I’m super active in goodreads I enter easily 20 times per day.

I have different ideas for the group, one can be a trivia, for example we ask a question and the one that answers can ask another question or maybe, it could be like the one that answers correctly more times can win, maybe the privilege to decide another type of game or the book of the month.

I’m sure that if you give me the opportunity I’ll think of more ideas and I’m sure you will love them.

Thanks

Ella

Why do you want to be a moderator? - I like being able to host different things and help out whenever I can. Plus, I love books and being in charge of things is something I've always enjoyed and something I consider to be good at.
How active are you? - I would say I'm on at least an hour a day.
What ideas do you have that you could contribute to the group? - I'm good at coming with different things like games, challenges, and just ideas in general. I'm a creative & smart person who loves to use her creativity and smartness to help others create. (hide spoiler)]

I am doing a Book M.A.S.H Reading Challenge in the group and I'm stuck on coming up with reading challenges for two of the categories. Based on what I have so far do you have any ideas?

I'll go look the categories and I'll tell you

Ok. Thanks!

in husband and wife we can put one that is polygamy: a boot on poligamy
widow: books about wifes that kill their husbands (this one can be something else )
marriage: books about love since childhood
something like that

I think you gave me an idea.

and best friends

childhood best friend:
club of the misunderstood: books about misunderstood friendships

I'll keep thinking

best friend tragedies: in this one it comes to mind the boy with the striped pajamas

Thanks for the ideas. They were helpful.

yees!

I have an idea that I'm working on, but in the meantime is there anything that I can help you with?

Well for a while I was planning on doing this thing called Question and Answer Discussions. Basically someone would make a topic with a question and then people can answer and discuss there answers with others. Could you make the rules for that? When you are done post them here and I'll read through them and then could you make the rules thread in the folder called Question and Answer Discussions?

yes sure it's okay if I have them by wendsday?

Of course. They don't have to be done right away.

Perfect, I'll tell you when they are ready

Ok. Thanks.

Question and answer Discussions

This is how is played. Player 1 makes a topic with a question. It doesn't have to be book related.

Then everyone else can answer and discuss there answers with others.

I can add if you want that after there's nothing else to discuss about the previous question that they can ask another one

I was more thinking that each thread would be titled what the question is and then if a thread wasn't active for a while then we would put it in an archived folder.

so everyone can make threads and put the question they want in the title and then discuss the questions ?

Yes.

Okay so the rules are
1 Make a thread with the question as the title
2 Discuss the question
3 don’t make questions of other subjects in the same thread
4 Make as many threads as you want

Thanks. I edited them a little bit and the thread should be done soon.

Perfect

I don't think Mafer has been active in this group for a while.

My plan is to keep Mafer as a moderator.

Discussion Leader and Discussion Reader please keep your eye on the poll. I won't be private messaging you this month as I will be on a short hiatus.

Just keep your eye on it so you know what book to read for Book of the Month. It looks like Insurgent is going to win but the poll isn’t over yet.

For the previous BOTM discussions my idea was that people could still discuss in those threads if they end up reading the book later. Do you think that these threads should be in a separate archive folder, keep them where they are or put them in the BOTM folder with the current BOTM discussion threads?

Ok. I'll do that now. Thanks for the input!
