Hooked on Books discussion

Feel free to use this thread to suggest different things that you'd like to see in this group.

Hmmm... I'll have to look in to that. Perhaps it's time to start a new reading sprints tab, a 'reading sprints 2.0' of sorts. I'll try and do so this weekend. :)

I don't know if anyone uses raidcall, but having raidcall for the group, and then separate rooms for threads similar to the sprints would be really helpful.

I like polls!

Maybe we could have a monthly read?

I have posted a poll inquiring about interest in group reads. :) Open until Sept. 23rd.

I'm not sure where to put this but I was wondering if it's necessary to put the previous group reads as archived? I understand the want of people reading the books together, I was just thinking there might be more comments of people reading the books afterwards of those who missed out could still comment their thoughts and still have a sense of community. I think it might help with more people adding their thoughts, but I could be completely wrong and everyone would just ignore it after the time's up regardless. It's just something I noticed with other book clubs on goodreads and thought I'd mention it. :)

Ashley, I think it's an auto thing, because I've brought them back in several times and they still end up back down there. If I can figure out how to stop that I will, because I think they should stay too! I'm guessing it has to do with putting dates on the books.

Ah okay, that makes sense. Thanks for letting me know. :)

Perhaps 2 week long readathons per month?

2 read-a-thon's each a week long or one that lasts for 2 weeks?

ah ok, I see, I found the conversation. Let me think on that.

2 of one week or one of two weeks, or both, lol

Could be fun, but the schedule might need a bit of tweaking for them not to be back to back..

They would have to overlap with something, I looked at participation on the 24 hour, and it still seems pretty popular, so I don't want to get rid of anything.

Yeah, I think that for some people, the week longs are overwhelming and they are more likely to participate in a shorter one, for some the week longs are the more effectual, and for others, they enjoy both. If they were overlapping, I think that participation might drop in both.

how about some reading challenge and a month long read-thon

more pop up readathons and more challenges yes please 😁

Ooh, I'd also like more weekend readathons!

I can definitely agree to this!!!!!

I'd also like to find a way we can make group reads work. Is there a way we can have a chat somewhere? Is that something we can look into?

Are we still picking a book of the month or series for every three months?

I was trying to do some buddy reads on a discussion thread but lately haven't tried.

would I be able to start a monthly series read a long? or can only mods do that?

Not sure. They are pretty lenient though. :)

thanks. I will try to message one

Hi there~ will there be May readathons? I don't see any of the weekly, weekend, or 24hr ones.
