There won't be a summer challenge as such, but we will continue to have new challenges every month. We will possibly be doing a bigger challenge in August after the groups 3 year anniversary though, so keep an eye out for that ☺ Sign-ups for July challenges will be going up in about a week ☺

Sarah is in charge of it.

Yes, I'll send out a group message once the sign-ups are open, and I'm currently running the Jumanji challege ☺ How can I help? ☺

I just recently figured out that I was signed into my friends good reads account and I signed up for the Jamindia town why adjusted her profile to for me but I corrected it and I am in my now but I'm in

So you're already signed up for the jumanji challenge, but under a different name?

I think it's under Anna Normand but it's under a different profile I'm supposed to read the books

Under the never sky,

Altered,

Finding Cinderella,

Tracked,

I had an idea for a challenge, I don't know if you've used it before, but I thought I wanted to share it with you :)
Something about the continents; Asia, Europe etc.
It could be like 7 main categories and then you could fit in books. Like the upcoming elemental challenge :) I haven't thought of any tasks yet, but yeah. Just an idea to sort of embrace diversity :P

Hi, can you change the date of a Great and Terrible beauty to 25th June please

Thanks for letting us know Alex. I don't think we have any more books to send you for the BR&R at the moment though. Have a nice holiday ☺

Have you guys ever thought of doing a year-long challenge where the group tracks how many pages they read? I think it'd be pretty cool to see how much we read collectively as there are some pretty big readers in the group.

I'm trying to clean up my notifications I get way too many and it's hard to keep up with all of them but every time I try to hit edit and no notifications it goes back to only notifications is there anyway you guys can look into it?

We've done a challenge before where it ran all year, but it seemed that people started getting bored of it near the end.

We'll definately keep the page count in mind if we do another year long challenge though. :)

There's nothing we can do for you, as this is a personal preference that you have to change yourself. We can't change it for you.

If you click on the little arrow by your picture at the very top of the page, then you click "edit profile" click emails, and then scroll to the bottom, and you should be able to see the groups you're in. It will tell you how many discussions you're following underneath, and you can change it from notifications to none at the right hand side.

So I was thinking... Maybe we could do a re-read challenge (Maybe in September to rest up after the Mega Challenge!) where we can only read books we've read before. There are so many good books that I want to revisit but I don't because they usually don't count for challenges. Just an idea :)

Dana and I will be reading tomorrow. She tried to set A thread, but for som reason it doesn't show up unless we have the specific link. Will you set a thread for us, please? :)

I just saw a challenge in another group that sounds like it could be good for this group.

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I'm confused. If I'm reading Harry Potter 1, what thread shall I use? Abbie posted a link to an existing thread, but it seems people are still using the new one. Help me please? :)
