Julie’s 2021 Audiobook Challenge:

Well I’m at only audiobooks this year, which isn’t even halfway to the bottom end of my goal. SO yay, failing again HAHAHA. This whole having family home all the time, working remotely, always on conference calls, no time for listening, is really cramping my style.

Here are my top audiobooks, in case you need help finding your next listen.

• [easyazon_link identifier=”B086DVS5BC” locale=”US” tag=”chapbrea05-20″]Psychic Witch[/easyazon_link]
• [easyazon_link identifier=”B08CPC8LBV” locale=”US” tag=”chapbrea05-20″]Arms of the Ocean[/easyazon_link]
• [easyazon_link identifier=”B08F3XWTHT” locale=”US” tag=”chapbrea05-20″]Wings of Fire[/easyazon_link]

My goal:

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

 Lynn’s 2021 Audiobook Challenge:

Well look at me go. I listened to 28 books this year. Which is 54% of all the books I read for the year. As crappy as it is to have a 90 minute commute, at least that’s helped me listen to more books.

And in case you are are looking for your next listen, here are my top audiobooks, in no particular order.

• [easyazon_link identifier=”1101988649″ locale=”US” tag=”chapbrea05-20″]The Invisible Library[/easyazon_link] – Amazing narrator. I doubt that I would have enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed listening.
• [easyazon_link identifier=”B08FHBV4ZX” locale=”US” tag=”chapbrea05-20″]Project Hail Mary[/easyazon_link] – I have no idea how Andy Weir makes me care about the survival of one human, but he does. And it’s the top Audible book of the year, as well!
• [easyazon_link identifier=”1250766567″ locale=”US” tag=”chapbrea05-20″]Fire Keeper’s Daughter[/easyazon_link] – this book was amazing. And I’m guessing it was a lot easier to listen to Ojibwe than read it.

My goal:

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