Each time we have a monthly read there will be a discussion leader. It will most likely be the winners of the writing contests or Points. Here's a guide to help all future/current discussion leaders with their responsibilities. If we don't have a discussion leader for a book and the mods can't cover the book I will open up the position to the rest of the group.
Creating Threads. I will create the folders for the books when I add them to the group's bookshelf. I will post a small intro for the book, who’s the discussion leader, and the book's description. You will be able to add the topics after that point. When you create the topics, I will block new posts and open them up on the first of the month. If there are any other discussions up on the book, I will move them to the book's folder.
Reading the Book. Of course, it is important if you read the book. If you haven't read the book before the start of the month, please try to read and update topics daily. And don't forget to ask questions and encourage further discussions.
Making topics. The very first topic should be for members to post and say that they're reading the book so that I can recognize them and give them their Points. You should, also, have topics for reviews, love triangles, general discussion (if there isn't one already in the discussion folder), and predictions for the book. THESE ARE MANDATORY TOPICS!!! I have seen on many groups Elimination games for books. They're really fun and simple and if you would like to have one I'll help with the character lists and searching other groups for existing Elimination games. It would be great to have some type of game for each book such as: Trivia games, quizzes, and who said it. I would like for there to at least be 3-4 topics in addition to the who's reading and intro topics. If you need help with any of this just ask I'll do whatever I can (:
