2019 RandomCAT planning thread

Sign up here to host a month for RandomCAT!

Hosts should aim to post their thread on the 15th of the previous month. For example, if you want to host the February RandomCAT, you'd be posting the thread on January 15.

January - rabbitprincess
February - LisaMorr
March - RidgewayGirl
April - Chrischi_HH
May - MissWatson
June - EBT1002
July - sushicat
August - clue
September - Kristelh
October - LadyoftheLodge
November - DeltaQueen50
December - jonesli

I'll go first, in January, because I have an idea already :)

I'll take June (after academic year is over).

I'll take February.

I'll take April. :)

>3 EBT1002: >4 virginiahomeschooler: >5 Chrischi_HH: Thank you all! :)

I'd like to host March, please.

>7 RidgewayGirl: Sold!

I'll take August

I want to do a month, but I'm having a harder time coming up with ideas! I never did submit anything for BingoDOG because I wanted a different idea from what I've used before and didn't come up with anything, so I'll wait and see if there are others who want to fill the months.

If I think of something before the months are filled, I will chime in. :-)

>9 clue: Done!

>10 LibraryCin: Great! :)

I have no clue yet, but I’ll take July.

I’ve never done Random cat but I’ll volunteer for September and hope I do ok. This one is a bit intimidating for me.

>12 sushicat: >13 Kristelh: Thank you both!

We're 3/4 booked for the year. Now we need hosts for May, October, November, and December.

I'd like to host May which should give me time to think of something.

I will take the November hosting role.

>15 MissWatson: >16 DeltaQueen50: Done!

October and December remain...

I'll take December.

I will take October, but may need assistance setting up the page.

>18 lsh63: >19 LadyoftheLodge: Done!

>19 LadyoftheLodge: I'd be happy to set up the thread on your behalf, if you like. Just send me a private message on my profile page with the text you want to put up :)

Unless someone else would like to, I'll set up the randomCAT wiki in the next few days.

We have a full house! Yay! Thank you, everyone, for volunteering.

>21 majkia: That would be awesome, Jean! Thanks :)

Have fun everyone! I'm sitting this one out! (I'll participate, I just won't be hosting a month this year.)

wiki for 2019 RandomCAT is here: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/2019_RandomCAT#2019_Random_CAT

Shoot! I had a really great idea - at least I was all excited about it - but did not write it down and now I’ve forgotten what it was...

>26 sushicat: LOL! Sounds like me!

>26 sushicat: Well, you have until June for it to come back ;)

>25 majkia: Thanks, Jean! :D

*edit to correct post number*

>26 sushicat: I can sympathize. I had a really good idea for dinner tonight, was really looking forward to it. Wish I could remember what it was.

>28 rabbitprincess: I think you meant >26 sushicat: has till June. :-)

>30 LibraryCin: yes! Darn number typos ;)

>31 rabbitprincess: You know what's funny? Notice I had to edit mine... LOL! I put 27 in there the first time, too!

>20 rabbitprincess: Thanks! I appreciate the help.

>26 sushicat: I have the same thing going! Hopefully I'll think of it or another fun one by mid-May. When I do think of something(s), I'm going to write it down!

Hi folks, the February RandomCAT is in need of a host -- let me know if you'd like to take it on!

I've never done a RandomCAT before - happy to give it a shot for February.

>36 LisaMorr: Awesome! Thanks, Lisa :)

We're all set!

>20 rabbitprincess: If you post instructions on how to set it up, or place it on my page, I will try to do it. Thanks!
