Hello! :D

I'm honored to be considered as an option for a mod.
Here are my answers for if I get picked.

1~ Amber C.

2~ 13. (I'll be 14 in March.)

3~ I would contribute my opinions on books, and If necessary I could come up with more ideas for games and topics and things using inspiration from other groups I'm in.

4~ I'm not currently a moderator in any other groups, sadly, so no.

5~ At least 5 days a week, (but usually only in the afternoon.)

6~ I don't have a set goal, but I'd like to read at least probably about 20 more books this year, considering how much time I have, with schoolwork and everything. I'm not sure how many books I've read this year, since I just started actively using GR in like August, but maybe around 50? Probably more. Sometimes I read so much I forget which books I've read, and which ones I haven't. Like, I'm certain I've read more than the 180 on my read list. I tend to read a whole lot more in the summer. During the school year, I can finish more or less 1 book a week, and over the summer I was doing more or less 1 book a day. (Depending on the book and on my mood of course.) But, during the school year, I'm more active on GR because I have to be on my computer for some school stuff. Whereas in the summer I spend all my free time reading. And sleeping.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the results!

1- Name
Sophie
2- Age
11-14 (don't necessarily want to say my exact age online)
3-contirbute to the group?
hopefully some new members, and a sense of positivity! I've been looking for ways to spread joy (and the good news of Christ) in a way outside of school, so I'm interested in doing this for that!
4- are you a mod on any other groups?
no, this would be my first time :).
5- On average, how often are you on goodreads?
According to my screen time, probably around 25-30 minutes a day, sometimes more. I can find time every day to do whatever my duties as moderator should I be accepted into the position, although sometimes I won't be as active as others might be on standard group activities.
6- what is your reading goal for this year and how many books have you read?
my reading goal for this year is 40, and while I haven't completed any books yet, I'm working on reading the Book Thief and The Hawthorne Legacy as well as starting a buddy read of Siege and Storm on the fifth.
thank you for reading my application!

Emma Can you apply for more than one spot?


message 24: by Sophie (new)

Sophie (bookblogger20) | 7 comments I'm interested in the Daily Poll manager!
1. My name is Sophie
2. My age is 17
3. I would contribute to discussion of books, I'm going to university later this year to study English so I will never get bored of discussing great literature. I read basically every genre excluding horror unless I'm feeling brave! Anyway I can contribute I will - I just love books and helping others find the right books. There's a book for everyone!
4. I'm not currently a moderator in any other groups :(
5. Hard to say because I go on for short periods of time consistently throughout the day, so I really couldn't make an estimate. But defo for half an hour at least if I'm writing a review
6. 50 books this year. I wanted to aim for 100 but with exam season coming up, I didn't want to turn reading into a chore. Not that I think it would have but it would've been added stress that I didn't need. I read 88 in 2021 so I'm fairly confident I could do 50 again because I've already read 1 book this year. That might be because I've been reading 4 books at the same time but 1 book for the 4th January is an achievement to me!


message 25: by Emma (new)

Emma I applied for Daily Poll Manager but just in case I also wanted to apply for Weekly Announcement Manager! I didn’t know if this was allowed but I decided to go for it anyway, I hope that’s okay.
#1 Emma
#2 Age 15
#3 I feel like I could contribute a lot! I always try to check out all the groups and read the announcements and I would love to help in any way I can.
#4 I am not a mod in any other groups
#5 I used to be on once or twice a week but I’ve been getting on more often and open Goodreads whenever I get a notification. I have lots of free time so if I had something to help with on here I would be on everyday if needed.
#6 My goal is for 100 books this year.

Hi all!

We have four new moderator posts open due to inactivity: content manager (manages what content and gives ideas as to what topics and themes will be in the group), BOTM manager (handles Book of the Months), Member Recruiter (promotes our group to new people - there will soon be a challenge to get as many people to join the group as possible and they will be responsible for running that), and a new post - Organisation Manager (will be in charge of clearing out the group, tidying it up, filing files and deleting old topics etc).

If you are interested in running, please fill in the following form AND put what post you would prefer to stand for. The top 3 in each category (decided by mods) will be voted for by the group.

On average I am on goodreads every few hours, so about 4-5 times a day. (I know it seems like a lot and it is but the reason is that I work on my computer so during my breaks I enjoy checking in. I also have the goodreads app so I get notifications quite a lot. )

julia :D | 34 comments Name - Julia

Age: 13

Contributions to group - I feel like I could help other readers discover some slightly underground indie titles, or maybe less popular, but still really great books :)

Mod in other groups - Nooo, this would be my first time :D

Goodreads activity - I usually log on every day to update my reading progress and look for some books to add to my Want to Read 😜

Group activity - I’m not active per se, but I like to read a lot of the posts. I feel like being a mod would give me chance to actually start talking here, and that’s definitely something I would love to do. I wanna meet some bookish friends 🫶🫶

Post that I’m applying for - I’m applying for BOTM manager because I feel like it’s a great way to get everybody here connected. Also, like I said before, maybe this position could help me and other people discover new favorite books!

So happy I was able to apply! 🫶🫶

message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

Name?
Brooke

Age/Range?
13/15

What would you contribute to this group?
I could help people with problems, come up with new games, polls, or discussion topics appropriate for teens. I read a lot of YA fiction, so I can give book suggestions, or answer questions about books. I’m pretty good with technology too. I’d try to keep everyone civilized.

Are you a mod on other groups, and if so how many and which groups?
I am not a mod on any group. Yes, that means I’m not as experienced, but I will be more available on this group rather than having to mod other ones.

On average how often are you on goodreads a week?
Every day most weeks, but occasionally I skip a day. If time of day makes a difference, usually from 7-9 pm EST, and sometimes around 2-4 pm EST.
How active are you on the group?

Slightly less than one other group, but I have been here for a little over a month and have 80-90 comments so far.

What post are you applying for and why is this? Content Manager, or secondly Member Recruiter or Organisation Manager. I enjoy thinking up creative ideas for polls and games, but have had very little chance to do so without making my own group, which could potentially only be very small. I’m in enough other groups and have quite a few friends to invite here, but likely too small of an amount for that to be my main task, plus I can’t use most other social media, only Pinterest, Facebook, and YouTube, only the last of which is public. I am good at organisation, but I would probably be too afraid to make someone mad by deleting their topic so I wouldn’t be the best for that job.
I would not like the BoTM manager position, as I don’t always participate in those, preferring to read at my own speed.


Thank you for your time!
