Julie Review Avatar Julie’s 2021 Audiobook Challenge:

Well I’m 6 audiobooks into this year, which isn’t even halfway to the bottom end of my goal. SO yay, failing again so far HAHAHA. We’ll see if I pick up the pace.

My goal:

  • Binge Listener (Why read when someone can do it for you) 20-30

Here’s my 2021 Audiobook Challenge shelf on Goodreads.

 Lynn’s 2021 Audiobook Challenge:

Here’s the thing about counting books – 800 page books and 200 page books both count as the same. One. That’s not fair at all when you read big books! But I’ve stepped up to 1.25x when listening, so that’s helped my stats. Well that and the really long commute!

I’m at 13 books so far, which is right in the middle of my goal. If I can keep on pace for the rest of the year, I should be in a good position to make it.

My goal:

  • Binge Listener (Why read when someone can do it for you) 20-30

  1. You both can do it! I joined this and am behind in my goal. I listen at work but work has been so manic so far that I cant get the hours in that I used to 🙄

      Same, I listen at work also but there have been so many conference calls! ~Julie

  2. I had forgotten I signed up for this (but yes, I have the widget on my blog). AND, I have forgotten what my goal is. HA. But I have read 16 books on audio so far, so I guess I’m on my way to something!
