2014 Challenges Q2 wrap up post

Posted June 28, 2014 by Julie S. in Challenges / 4 Comments

 

As you can see, I signed up for way too many challenges this year. Since I’ve been super busy with the move, reading time hasn’t really been easy to find. So I thought I’d do a quarterly wrap up rather than monthly wrap up posts.

Goal:  Easy Listening Listen to and review 12+ audio books. [Requires linking up reviews]

      Oh cool, well I wasn’t a fan of all the ones I read, so definitely have her read other reviews on some of those. Also point her to the YA Dystopia recommendations page. That has some good ones she may not have read yet.
