Okay, so: Reading and caring for a newborn. I'm having my first child and won't be working for awhile and thought "I'll be able to read lots!". Am I being delusional lol

Happy New Year Breesc23! You aren't being delusional before the baby is born but after.....well you will be lucky to eat or sleep

Lol oh no! My eating life is compromised too?! Guess I should lower my number of books to read this year

Haha Breesc, you will get a rhythm.

Happy New Year, Breec23...I'd say pace yourself with reading cause you are going to have your hands full with your new bubba, that's for sure.

I still have two months before he comes so I'll read as much as I can. Thanks ladies!

Breesc23 wrote: "I still have two months before he comes so I'll read as much as I can. Thanks ladies!"

I actually read alot when my daughter was a newborn. We would snuggle and I would read. That changed though once she got more mobile and now I only read during naptimes or after she goes to bed lol

So there's hope! Hopefully his father will see the need to read and give me reading breaks :-)

HAHA! That sounds like very good plan.

That's because you have an angel Kasey. Not that Breesc won't but you were lucky to do that. My first had colic, ugghhh! My second was a very good baby but I had so much to do that when he slept I had to catch up on housework etc.

Thank you ladies for the knowledge! Either way,I can't wait!

It's so exciting! I love little baby snuggles.

Happy New Year, everyone! Wishing you all a safe, happy, healthy 2017 and tons of fabulous reading!

Thanks Cheryl! Hope you have a wonderful year as well.

Oh yeah, I read so much more after she was born. Especially when feeding.

Is anyone else having issues adding books to read or currently reading to your shelf? Every time I try to add a book this message pops up...There was an error adding the book to your shelf, please try again...so frustrating cause I'm stuck and can't do anything ugh posted on GR in their BUGS sections and hoping to get some answers.

I was, but I just exited then got back on and it worked again. I'm on a horrible phone though, don't know if that makes a difference

Sylvia wrote: "Is anyone else having issues adding books to read or currently reading to your shelf? Every time I try to add a book this message pops up...There was an error adding the book to your shelf, please ..."

I don't believe I have had any problems but then again I haven't added many books lately. Well, I guess I did for my jar and don't remember any problems.

It seems to be working again but I wasn't the only one that had issues so GR rectified the issue :)

Well that's good Sylvia.

So random, but is time travel considered fantasy or Sci fi? Or something else entirely?

Breesc23 wrote: "So random, but is time travel considered fantasy or Sci fi? Or something else entirely?"

Depends on what causes the time travel. Back to the Future and The Time Machine would be sci-fi because it is science and a machine that causes it. The Time Travelers Wife and Outlander would be fantasy or paranormal because it is magic or an innate ability like a superpower.

I am kind of obsessed with these kind of questions. The finer points of genres and their definitions and subgenres.

Lol well I'm glad you're the one who answered! That makes total sense, thanks!

Hate when bugs get in the way of adding to my TBR list lol

Hey everyone! I made a different sort of video on my YouTube channel, talking and showing different journals I worked on in 2016!

Cool video Jenny. I should try a journal or two.

Have you guys voted on the Book of the Month yet? I'm hoping to get a big turnout on this next read.

Yes I have, and the one I want is in the lead! YAY!

Ok, I think it's a great idea.

Great video on your journal books. I used to keep so many journals and need to start again. I loved my gratitude journal and I did a virtual journal on Instagram a year ago about what I'm thankful for but that didn't last lol

Tracy wrote: "Have you guys voted on the Book of the Month yet? I'm hoping to get a big turnout on this next read."

Might need to send out a group message alluding to the poll :)

Not a bad idea Sylvia.

I'll do it mid-month.

Since this is a chit chat thread I'm going to assume I can whine a little. My baby turned 17 in December, got his license, got a job and now I never see him anymore. I keep saying he will be a senior next year and he corrects me and tells me it will be this year. Man, he has grown up so fast. So, does anyone know how I can reverse time and make him my baby boy again?

Oh, Tracy, I wish I can help you there. I'm yet to experience this myself but my eldest nephew is turning 16 this year and although he already has a job, he will be getting his license too. It's crazy how quick and big they grow...wish I knew how to stop time for just a moment.

I'm sorry Tracy, I know how you feel! My oldest 3 kids just recently graduated, but I still have one left at home :) My 13 year old baby girl. But yes, its so hard to let go when they grow up! Luckily, my kids are all close by still, and my boys are still living at home even though I don't see them a lot!

My daughter is 24 and when she left it wasn't so hard because I still had my son but the thought of my son leaving just gives me chills.

I can't even imagine...sending you big hugs <3
