So that everyone knows what is happening, I have messaged those people who have not yet posted any reviews for this challenge. For some teams, this is a lot of people.

I'll give people a chance to answer my message or post, but in 48 hours I will be looking to shuffle teams up a bit to give them a bit more of a chance. It's not much fun being in a team where there are only 2 people posting.

Thanks x

Stacey Labissiere (slabiss) | 464 comments Hey everyone,

I had some things going on that had me needing to slow down, and I wasn't reading as much. But I will be adding 4 books by the end of this week. Sorry for that

It's been a while since we've talked here! I've only read one book this month, I'm in a big slump, which sucks :( hoping to get back into it soon.

How's everyone's reading going?


message 13: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments I had my baby on June 28 so I’ve not been reading as much as usual! Just trying to adjust to a toddler and newborn. I mostly read when nursing haha and the rest of the time I’m sleeping.

Oh my, congrats!! What’s their name? :) I can only imagine, trying to combine both a toddler and a newborn must be exhausting 🥴


message 15: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments His name is Lincoln! It’s definitely exhausting especially since he has his days and nights switched at the moment and my husband is working all day so I can’t exactly sleep when he does. But I’m loving him being so tiny and enjoining the time while I can.

I finally finished 2 books. But life has been life-ing so I have not met any reading goals for this month

MelanieJoy (ladybird11) | 344 comments I'm reading a book that is getting me out of my reading slump. I'm shocked at how much I'm loving it; had I known the subject matter I would have avoided it. I'm also shocked at how GOOD the narration is. I think this will get me out of a reading slump. I just posted an earlier July book, So once I have this book done, I'll have 4 total complete. If I can do 8 books this month I'll be ecstatic; I'll settle for 6 but 8 would be awesome.

Wolf congrats on the newborn! I have a 9mo old, our first, and he's a LOT of work.

Congrats!!! Enjoy your little one


message 23: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 1468 comments My reading is going pretty well. I have a review to write before I can post. Ill likely finish another book or two in the next couple days as well.


message 24: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments My reading is picking up a little but definitely won’t read as much as I usually do monthly.

And thank you everyone for the well wishes! I’m loving the baby snuggles


message 25: by Brittany (last edited Jul 14, 2024 08:44PM) (new)

Brittany | 1468 comments Okay I posted 5 books in the last couple days. Will probably be a few before I finish any more!
Hope reading is going well for others too!

we definitely need it lmao! But I'm about to enroll on a short ARCs reading sesh, so I might finally post some more!


message 33: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 1468 comments Im probably going to read a couple manga shortly which increases the chances for some good bonus points.

Hopefully you have some good ARCs Danique!

Some good ones, also some not great ones lol! But it's been okay, did get us quite some points yay!

Erin | 240 comments Hey all! Would one of the mods mind taking a look at my scores? I think I'm missing page points for both The Best Way to Bury Your Husband and Godkiller

Thanks so much 😊


message 38: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments Should be updating tomorrow! Listening to one of the GBRs as well so extra points here soon. And I’ll have about 1000 pages added tomorrow which is about 4-5 books.


message 39: by MelanieJoy (new)

MelanieJoy (ladybird11) | 344 comments Nice Wolf!

I finished one book I need to add and working on two more. This is my heaviest reading month since January.


message 40: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 1468 comments Nice all!

Too bad about the not so great ones Danique


message 41: by MelanieJoy (new)

MelanieJoy (ladybird11) | 344 comments Ok I believe I have read my last July book; I doubt I'll get another one done before the 31. 10 books in one month is amazing for me.

Hope you guys finish strong! Well done all!


message 42: by Danique (new)

Danique van Dijk (daniquevdijk_) | 7803 comments Mod
That’s great MelanieJoy! Hope you enjoyed the books too :)

I have one more to post, might finish another today!


message 43: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 1468 comments Awesome job MelanieJoy!

I'm hoping to finish at least one more yet. This has been an extremely good reading month for me. I'm so not used to being the highest score on a team


message 44: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments I have a lot to update. I’ve not been anywhere near a computer recently. I’m planning on doing them in batches though.


message 45: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments Sorry team. I didn’t have time to update.
