SO Marathoner it is!

  1. Go YOU for 2019! I joined up but didn't make a post about it. I forget - should I do that?

    1. I think that we are meant to? I totally forgot too. As I told you, no update post

  2. I haven't counted but I'm a big audio book reader, because I have an hour commute each way every day. Audio books are what keep me sane on my drives. I might join.

    Good luck in the challenge!

  6. All the best, I am sure you'll make it. I will go for a lower total but still yay for audiobooks. Love your list of places to find them.

  8. Good luck with this challenge! I used to listen a lit when I worked because audiobooks were ideal for my dreary commuting hours. Now I struggle to find the time for them which is a shame as I think some stories work better that way

    1. Some stories truly shine this way :)
      And that sucks, but I get it, right now audio is great for me, but will it always be...?

  10. I'm still struggling a bit with audio but finding more genres that work for me.

    I had to take a break after getting my ALA books but hope to get back to it next year.
