I like the idea of mods vs members. :D

I do too. But do we think that all of us against everyone will be able to be kept fairy even?

We aren't doing a solo for that, since it's more of a read what you want/can and get points for the members, so that would add a little. (I have no idea how many solo participants we usually have.)

I think so. Alaina reads a whole lot. I'm pretty good with reading and so is Book. However, maybe we should make that month one where there isn't any winners? Because I think they will probably win. Especially if some of the members who read a lot participate. And that's a lot of prizes. Lol.

Or we can make it where every mod picks a member to add to our team? To make it more even? I don't know.

I was actually thinking that it might be uneven the other way. :D I thought we might out read them. Maybe not though. Since we each thought opposite ways then I say we can leave it as is. Mods vs members.

For non human character would a book like this count or does it have to be like

So I think the initial thought behind that one (now that I am looking at it again) was to have an AI (like vision) character, or maybe even an alien.

Oh. That makes sense. So not human but human like? So kind of like shapeshifters?

Yes. But it doesn't have to be human like (since it wasn't specified), so Sight could count since it is about wolves.

Cool so both books would count. ^-^

i feel like I missed so much! DAMN YOU WORK

@CP, oh! Hahahaha. I totally thought maybe they’d beat us. Lol. But do you think it’s a good idea for that challenge to not do prizes for individuals? But to still count those points obviously for the round up at the end for the book depository winner. I just think if they actually do win that we’re gonna be sending a lot of prizes out. Lol.

I think we could do individual prizes. The top two or three. But yeah, not all of them. That would be crazy.

Yeah, agreed. We'd be mailing a ton of books. Lol.

Top three on the member team is a good idea. Then not only are they working to beat us but they're also working to be on top of their team for points as well. Good idea! :)

Sounds good!

Made the April BOTM thread. It's Children of Blood and Bone. :D

Great! I will have to see if I can get to that one. I am overbooking myself.

I am going to get it tomorrow. I want to read it so bad and now I have a real reason to spend money on it! :D

Hahaha. Hope you enjoy it!

Felicia, while trying to set up a spreadsheet for our team I decided just to steal yours instead. :D

I'll make you a virtual cake or something. ;)

And Alaina, could you add the link in your first comment on our chat thread when you get a chance? Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Yes mam! I’m at work right now but when I get a break I will sneak into GR 😊

No hurry! Thanks!

Haha no worries. 😘

We have over 800 members in this group now. That's crazy!

it's because we are the best mods EVA

Yes, of course. ;)

knew it!

Yay! 800 members!

Morning ladies! :D

Couple questions.

Has anyone messaged the winners from the March and last quarterly challenge to tell them to pick prizes? If not, I can. And on this topic again. Are we only doing the top 3 winners from the March challenge not the whole team? That's a lot of prizes if we do everyone from team Everyone Else. Lol.

And my next question is stupid. Sorry, not sorry. Lol. But what in the world is an indigenous character? I looked up the word and still do not know what the hell it means. Lmao.

Indigenous is basically Native American. :)

NP. :)

Have you read Children of Blood and Bone Book?

Felicia wrote: "Have you read Children of Blood and Bone Book?"

No. I'm hoping to towards the end of the month. :)

Shoot. I'm trying to figure out if it will fit in with the superhero challenge. I don't know if it will.

Let me check online for a few min. I'll see if I can help you figure it out. :)

I'm mostly seeing tags of POC not Indigenous or Native American and since it's fantasy I'm not sure. Maybe one of the others will know?

If you're not set in it being for that specific category I can try to find some that will work for it. :)

Oh, you're the best! :D

I have not sent messages, so if you can that would be great! Yes, top three sounds good.

And yes, indigenous is just the native for a specific region.

Children of Blood and Bone should count for genre minority main character, since it's fantasy and I believe the mc is a POC.

POC?

Person of color.

Ohhhhhhh. Gotcha. Thanks. Haha.

Also, maybe going forward we should do random winners from the winning team? I noticed the top three people were the same winners from last month. I just replied to the same messages from when they won in February.

That's probably a good idea. We don't want the same people winning every time.

Updated the scores 😊 well not for the series challenge yet

Awesome! Thanks, Alaina!

Yeah, having the same winners every month is kinda boring. Lol. So random going forward. Cool. :D

lol hot damn!

Alaina, please add Lindsey to the scoring template for the Series Challenge. :)
