Julie’s 2022 Audiobook Challenge:

I didn’t meet my goal for 2021. (Or 2020.) Maybe I’ll try again for the same level in 2022. This year has to get better, right? She says hopefully.

My goal:

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

My update: I signed up for an aggressive review for 2 series at 3 books each over the month of June! So while the rest of the year I hadn’t read any audiobooks, I listened to 6 this past month! So yay I’m on the way. But not halfway there to the lower part of the goal. That seems to be a bit of a stretch goal for me lol.

Here’s my 2022 Audiobook Challenge shelf on Goodreads.

 Lynn’s 2022 Audiobook Challenge:

I’m sticking with the same goal of Binge Listener this year. Hopefully I can keep it up!

My goal:

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

My update: At the midpoint of the year, I’ve exceeded my goal! I’ve been trying to balance the 28-30 hour books with the under 5 hour books. That’s helped me stay focused a lot. But now that it’s hotter than heck outside, my reading\walking will certainly slow down. Let’s hope I can keep up the momentum!
