ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI haven't gotten into audiobooks. Maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteI do love them
DeleteOoh good luck w/ this one!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to be able to his 100 either. I only got 82 this year. I hope you find some great audiobooks next year.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Hot Listens & Books of My Heart
I will so not make it next year
DeleteYes, you shall conquer this to get to all the good books. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be doing this challenge too. It would be great to reach that hundred club, but I'm going for Marathoner, too.
I will just think that we had 100 last year too, so at least I did it once ;) Even if it was not a thing then
DeleteHave fun!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteDoing this again! Can't believe they added a 100+ level this year, I'll never make it but you might :D
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Nah, not this year, it was easier when I listened at home, but at work, nope
DeleteGood luck with this challenge!
ReplyDeleteCount me in again! I'll figure out what number later though ;)
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteIt will be interesting to see how working will impact your listening. I ended up going up (This year I said 65, and listened to 75), I think I am saying 70 for 2020.
ReplyDeleteI did notice that it went from 3 per week to only 1 at times
