@Berit-

[Connie]

I haven't got much reading done today because I decided to finish fixing my shelves! (http://sunstormsandthunderclouds.blog...)

How has your reading day been? ^.^

Girl you gonna get a huge lead on me when they update the score. i had this horrible slump the past week. got the flu and had zero energy. i slept pretty much the whole time i wasn't working. :(

Your shelves look great thou :D always jealous of those who can buy books!

[Connie]

I buy them all second hand! I'm a big fan of car boot sales and charity shops!

And so have I I'm struggling to find the motivation, Melanie is catching up on us!!!

Yah i saw that, think i need to binge read this week and screw sleep. :D

[Connie]

Well now my books are in order I might be a threat

[rachel, x]

You girls are crazy! :P I don't know how you do it, but I love to see some healthy rivalry between you all. I'm happy with the amount I'm reading at the moment, but I think I'm going to burn out a little in Jan. It's good too though because I'm behind on my GR challenge and I MUST finish it this year.

[❤ Aly ❤]

Connie, I looked at your blog. That was a great post. I wish I could find the motivation to reorganize like you did.. lol

[Connie]

@Aly; it was so messy I couldn't bare it anymore! I couldn't imagine anything worse than looking at how messy it was for the six weeks that I'm home!

@Rachel; it's so bad when you burn out after reading like crazy! How many more books do you need to finish? I set mine at 60 this year for some reason lol

[rachel, x]

@Connie- Only 60? I'm sure you've read that just this week, lol! I set my goal at 200 which shouldn't have been hard because I read 250+ last year, but I've only read 187. I have 13 books to read, which I don't think is unreasonable. I hope I can do it!

I read almost every free second i have sometimes, then i have some weeks where i don't even want to look at a book. last week was the latter, so this week, i'm gonna read and just get a few hrs of sleep a day. :D

[Brooke]

Connie wrote: "Well now my books are in order I might be a threat "

well then, guess i need to get on it :D

[rachel, x]

@Brooke- Woah, that's some dedication! I read as much as I can too, but I don't give up sleep for it. I guess that's where I'm going wrong.

[Heather]

I couldn't read that much! I have to definitely have my sleep!!

[Berit☀️✨]

Yeah, I definitely cannot go without sleep, and nobody around me wants me to be in that condition, LOL!

[Heather]

does anyone like watching TV shows that deal with emergency rooms?

I'm a big Grey's Anatomy fan. Does that count?

Yes! I love shows like that but I have ran out of ones to watch on hulu!

You could always try to branch out into other language shows. I've watched a few Korean medical dramas, these are the ones I would recommend: https://www.viki.com/tv/22343c-doctor... , https://www.viki.com/tv/24437c-blood , https://www.viki.com/tv/20218c-good-d...

[Heather]

@Heather- House M.D.? It's no emergency room technically but the people under their care ase usually dying so it's pretty intense.

[Heather]

never heard of it! I will have to try it Rachel!!

I also recommend House M.D. But it can get a bit repetitive after awhile. :)

[Heather]

As long as it helps my fix for it lol I am watching Dating Naked!

[rachel, x]

@Heather- I've only seen the first maybe three seasons? But I'm enjoying it. House is a hilarious character and it has some pretty famous faces in it.

[Heather]

OMG I know what show you are talking about!

I have crazy sleep issues so i rarely sleep more than 6hrs as it is now. i can get 4hrs and be fine. i also have issues where i stay up for 2 or 3 days straight without issue as well.

O.o I have the opposite issue! I need a minimum of 12 hours and can sleep up to 36 or 48 sometimes. >.>

[Berit☀️✨]

You can sleep 42 hours straight??? Wow

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Berit wrote: "You can sleep 42 hours straight??? Wow"

Those are rarer but yes I have slept for 48 hours straight a few times.

[rachel, x]

@Brooke- You poor thing! That sounds amazing in theory but I bet in catches up to you.

[Berit☀️✨]

Yeah, I like a good seven hours, that seems to be the perfect amount for me :-)

[Berit☀️✨]

What challenges do you guys think they will have for us in January??? Any guesses :-) besides the obvious ;-)

I'm not sure. But I'm really excited to start having team challenges again. It's always nice finding new people to talk to on here

[rachel, x]

@Katrina- I haven't done a team challenge before but I have all of January off for school holidays so I might give it a go. I'm excited!

[Connie]

I have chronic fatigue so I actually sleep quite a lot :P

[Tati]

I have a lot of reviews to dump on that thread, will try to do that until the weekend.

[Katrina G]

@Rachel - They're so fun. I'm a pretty motivated reader as it is, but the team challenges really keep me in check when I start slipping lol

[Heather]

They will have the new years resolution challenge for sure!

[Connie]

I've been thinking about my actual 2016 resolutions and I have far too many

[Heather]

I have none at all lol

My boyfriend is like that, he can legit sleep 24hrs if allowed. it makes me angry!

[rachel, x]

@Katrina- I've always been scared to let my teammates down but I think I'll join the 'for fun' team and give it a go.

@Tati- Same here! I need to write a few reviews and mass post them. Sorry mods, lol.

@Connie- Ditto. I'm writing a resolution post for the blog right now actually. What are yours?

[Brooke]

Rachel wrote: "@Brooke- You poor thing! That sounds amazing in theory but I bet in catches up to you."

Yah, i do get a lot done, but sometimes i am very emotional and that's why i almost never have close friends or boyfriends, i push away a lot and pick fights when i get like that.

Pros and cons to everything in life. :)

[rachel, x]

@Brooke- Well, at least you have the online community. We're always be here. :)

[Katrina G]

@Rachel - I think you'll really enjoy it. The team challenges are always the best

[Katrina G]

Am I the only one who doesn't like the new font Goodreads is using?
