I will try to have it posted by tonight.

[Maddie]

No worries! I'm watching YT and reading at the moment and it's so relaxing!

[Courtney]

It might have to wait until tomorrow. My husband wants to go out for dinner tonight.

Also have no idea what to read after this. I havent come up with a TBR for the last week because I have been waiting for teams to be made. So I will just have to wing it.

[Maddie]

Oh that's nice! Enjoy your date out!

I've got basically the same TBR as I had at the start of the month.. Read nothing XD

[Milly]

I have a day of work today!! Yay!!

This means hopefully I should finish my book today. If not, then it’ll be early hours tomorrow morning :)

[Maddie]

Oh nice stuff!

Yeah I didn't read today, will do a little more now, but tomorrow I do plan on finishing Sorcery of Thorns assuming I do some sprinting..

[Jill]

I finished a book finally!! I’ll get the review up later today. Will finish one more

[Maddie]

Awesome! How's everything going?

I'm leaving Sorcery of Thorns for my commute, as I've got the book on my phone and it's much easier to read on my phone on the train. So yesterday I picked Wise Man's Fear back up. It won't get finished, but I just need to read things I picked up previously

[Maddie]

Not sure how much reading I'll get done rest of the month either as I've got a friend staying at my place for the rest of it. So after work I'll probably be doing stuff with him.

[Courtney]

Im probably only going to be able to do two more reviews. I took on extra hours at work so thats going to interrept some reading time.

[Maddie]

I don't think it's such a big deal XD At least we're all reading still!

I can't believe it's almost the end of Jan. This challenge is what really puts it into perspective for me XD

[Jill]

Everything is good!! Just getting used to everything. I spend almost all day feeding her XD

[Maddie]

What's it like? Do you like the huge change?

[Jill]

its so diff than i thought. kinda tough. luckily shes a good sleeper. i should nap when shes sleeping but i end up doing a bunch of housework and stay busy all day. tomorrow i want to try to bring her to the park since itll be a nice day. im loving the new change, even tho im tired af

[Maddie]

Yeah that seems to be the consensus :) I know with Shae's little one she tries to sleep, but as you say she's just always so busy. She does audio while she feeds though to keep her brain active so she doesn't fall asleep XD

[Jill]

I was wondering how Shae does it but that makes sense. That’s also when i read lol but I read on my kindle so I can do it day or night. Maybe I’ll try an audio soon. I just need to find my headphones 👀

[Maddie]

XD Hopefully you find them!

[Courtney]

Sleeping while the baby slept never worked for me either. Lol Hlad to hear everything is going good Jill!

[Maddie]

So I just finished entering my January books into a spreadsheet to find out the charts and graphs (the purpose of this) aren't working! What a waste of an hour of my public holiday!

For the January challenge?

[Maddie]

Na just for a reading spreadsheet in general, not for a challenge.

[Courtney]

Maddie wrote: "Na just for a reading spreadsheet in general, not for a challenge."

So just another way to keep track?

[Maddie]

Yeah a way to see stats, like the types of books I read, how many library books, how much manga, what genres, page length, stuff like that

[Courtney]

So I finished all the books that I wanted to this month except for two which I wont be doing because I know I wont be able to finish them in time. I will probably listen to some Vanessa Vale audiobooks considering they are fast and I can finish a few in the time we have left.

[Maddie]

Perfect! Don't worry too much though XD

I'm off to sleep in a few minutes. 83% into Sorcery of Thorns, should finish in two or three days, so by the end of the month. Last book I'll get to though

[Maddie]

I finally finished Sorcery of Thorns! 5 stars! I'm going to read some more of Wise Man's Fear, and tomorrow might start a new book on the train. We shall just see. I need something already on my Kindle app so that it's on my phone. I read way better on my phone on the train, it's simple to do.

[Milly]

We have two days left!! If we work hard I think we can still come second. We are only four points behind the current second place holders :)

[Eesh]

Finished one book a couple of days ago and almost done with another. Hopefully, I'll post both tomorrow.

[Milly]

Hopefully, I can finish my current book by tomorrow. It’ll probably be just before the deadline :(

[Maddie]

Is that including my points Amelia? 4 points behind?

If you don't finish, you can still claim points for what you do read. Just have to say how many pages you've read. And you can't claim a letter

[Milly]

Oops, my bad I read the scores wrong. But, I still think we can beat them :)

[Milly]

[Maddie]

I think we can as well if we push it! But I don't think it's really a big deal XD I've really eased off so far. As long as we're enjoying life that's what counts.

[Abby]

I've got one book left.

[Courtney]

I dont think I will be able to get another book in, but I will try. I had picked up extra hours at work thinking I would have all day tomorrow, but then my grandpa said he was coming into town. So it might not happen.

[Maddie]

That's all right Courtney!

I'm so ready for the weekend and the first two days of Feb! New books, CoHo here I come!

[Eesh]

Posted two more reviews. I have like 70 pages left of my last book of this month. And since I'm not gonna be home till after midnight tomorrow (technically today, since it past 2 am) I hope I can finish and review it in the afternoon.

[Maddie]

Sure thing!

[Abby]

I left work early because I'm not feeling well. I may not finish my book today, but we'll see. Sometimes I feel like reading when I'm sick, sometimes not.

[Maddie]

Hopefully you're feeling okay Abby!

[Abby]

My stomach's just churning. I didn't have much going on at work today, so I figured it was better to sit at home being comfortable in misery than to sit at my desk in misery.

[Maddie]

Yeah that makes sense. But that's the worst feeling! All I can do is sit there and feel gross

[Maddie]

It's so close between the teams! Great work this month guys!

It's really nice to have sick pay though. At my previous job, I was only part time so I would work while sick because I wouldn't get paid otherwise. But now I have a cushy government job. I get 8 hours of sick time per month that accumulates. I just texted my supervisor when I wanted to leave and he told me I could go home, no questions asked. I'm still getting used to the fact that I actually have sick pay.

[Maddie]

Wow 8hr a month is pretty good!

[Courtney]

I found time to be able to read so I am hoping to get a book or two done.

[Maddie]

Hooray! I've got time to read now but it's for Feb challenge XD

[Courtney]

I have 11 hours before the Feb Challenge still.

[Maddie]

That's so strange! Time zones are weird. It's 11am for me now on the 1st

[Courtney]

Its 2:15 of the 31st here.
