The only challenge (other than our Shelf Love challenge of course) that I signed up for in 2015 is the Audiobook challenge. I didn’t end up doing an introductory post and instead linked up my GR shelf. But I still wanted to participate in the quarterly updates, so here we go.
I’m kind of going back and forth between the following two levels. I know I can get “My Precious”, which is also what I signed up for last year. But I might make it to Marathoner, so I’ll leave that option open.
- My Precious (I had my earbuds surgically implanted) 30-50
- Marathoner (Look Ma no hands) 50+
Currently, as of the end of Q1, I have read 12 audio books and am currently in one more.
I have embedded my GR shelf below for funsies.
Someone’s on a Charley Davidson kick 😉 I’ve only read book 1 and really enjoyed it on audio. Looks like I need to continue! Good job, I bet you make it to marathoner!
Yes well, as it turns out I’m addicted to Charley’s sassy attitude 🙂 The books are also available under my grandfathered audiobooks.com subscription so that helps 🙂
I love that you are aiming for more than 50 audiobooks. I am doing about 30. I hope to get The Martian soon because I have heard great things about it. Good job!
One of my book clubs read The Martian and just about everyone loved it.
Impressive 🙂 Good luck – this seems like a tough but fun challenge 🙂 You’ll do great!
Not too tough since listening while driving is so much more pleasant than just driving heh.
Good job. I love the Charley Davidson series on audio and the Jane Yellowrock.
Both narrators are awesome, I agree 🙂
Great job on your challenge! Sounds like you are doing great.
Thanks 🙂
Wow, that’s a lot of books! How did you like listening to The Martian? I have that on my TBR and I like audio books, but feel like some books that have a lot of technical information might be too hard for listening.
My book club absolutely loved the book, and many did the audio. I personally struggled with it and found it a bit dull at times, but I was reading it at the end of my maternity leave and my attention span was zero.
Great job Julie! I see you’ve been spending a lot of time with Reyes and Charley, that’s always fun 🙂 My next listen is The Martian, I’ve heard great things about it!
I hope you’re having fun with the challenge.
Happy listening!
Yes, I’m enjoying me some Reyes very much 🙂
