Go YOU for 2019! I joined up but didn't make a post about it. I forget - should I do that?
ReplyDeleteI think that we are meant to? I totally forgot too. As I told you, no update post
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the challenge!
Yes join in :D
Deletehave fun with it!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteGood luck with the challenge.

DeleteOh sweet, are the details for the 2019 challenge up already? Nice! I'll have to make an intro post soon as well then!

DeleteI'm doing Maranthoner with you. Cheering you on, B!
ReplyDeleteWe can do it!
DeleteAll 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.
ReplyDeleteI will do my best :D
DeleteI confess that I don't do audiobooks well
ReplyDeleteThey can be hard to get into
Deletewhooo you can do itttttt
ReplyDeleteYAS
DeleteGood 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
ReplyDeleteSome stories truly shine this way :)
DeleteAnd that sucks, but I get it, right now audio is great for me, but will it always be...?
Good luck with this challenge! I am sure you will do well.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI'm still struggling a bit with audio but finding more genres that work for me.
ReplyDeleteI had to take a break after getting my ALA books but hope to get back to it next year.
Karen @ For What It's Worth
I have found that romance and YA transforms into greatness for me and then it is those I pick the most then
DeleteI'm so glad to have you back in 2019. I hope you find some great listens. Happy New Year.
