That's cute. I was more focussed on reading 1 for each though. So not sure if I have time yet to unlock the token. Maybe, but then I can't read 1 for each lol
I tried something different this month and just read without updating anything but team challenges until yesterday and today. 2/10. More reading time but yipes...

We hosted the Fall Into Reading Challenge last month, and we're thrilled to see how much everyone enjoyed it. We poured our hearts into creating those badges and tokens, and we want to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to collect as many as possible. That's why we're extending the challenge into this month! The official end date for the challenge was September 30th, so challenge awards will only be counted up to that date. However, for those eager to earn more badges and tokens, you can continue reading this month. If you missed out on participating last month, don't worry, you can still join and collect badges and tokens, though challenge awards won't be available for new participants.

That's what I often do. It's better than waiting until the end to post everything then

That's ok! We just wanted to keep the option open so that anyone who wasn't able to read much due to time constraints or other reasons can still collect them :)
