Julie’s 2024 JIAM Mini Challenge Results:
So we are moving again this June. This time though, we are driving separate cars from VA to AL. Which hopefully means I can listen to audio books! Maybe, if the kid has his own headphones on since he’s most likely to ride with me.
My challenge goal:
- Let there be Monsters (listen to 3 audiobooks with monsters/paranormal elements)
Because this is my favorite genre, and I have a bunch of these on my phone TBR audio list, this will be the challenge I plan to enter for June.
I will track the books as part of the audiobook challenge and list them here for the mini-challenge. I will list my reviews on our mini reviews end of month post.
Here’s my main 2024 Audiobook Challenge shelf on Goodreads.
My challenge results:
I followed the challenge Let there be Monsters and achieved it during our move/drive across states. These books also fit the Tackle your Audiobook TBR pile challenge since they were books I bought years ago! So there, no extra points from the challenge makers but extra points in my heart and my #ShelfLove Bingo square!
Blood Bound (Mercy Thompson, #2) (~10 hours long) with characters of shifters, werewolves, vampires, demons
Demon Magic (Dragon’s Gift: The Seeker, #2) (~6 hours long) with characters of fire/dragon souls, shifters, phantoms, demons, mages
Magic Revealed (Dragon’s Gift: The Seeker, #3) (~6 hours long) with characters of fire/dragon souls, shifters, phantoms, demons, mages
Magic Wild (Dragon’s Gift: The Seeker, #4) (~6 hours long) with characters of fire/dragon souls, shifters, phantoms, demons, mages
I did it! I completed and exceeded the challenge. yay me!
Lynn’s 2024 JIAM Mini Challenge Results:
Oh dang. We need to actually pick one? I was just going to wing it and see which one I completed.
My challenge goal:
- Love your Library (listen to 3 audiobooks from your local library)
The other challenges hold little appeal (no way am I listening to three books in the same series in a row or 3 monster books!) I might do the side challenge of 3 books over 12 hours for a bonus. 😉
Here’s my main 2024 Audiobook Challenge shelf on Goodreads.
My challenge results:
Any Way the Wind Blows, Sweet Nightmares, Love Hypothesis, & So Damn Lucky – plus these qualify for the over 12 hours bonus
Finley Donovan Rolls the Dice – sadly doesn’t qualify for the over 12 hours bonus.
I completed two challenges! Love your library AND Going the distance. Who cares about that whole one book per challenge rule. That’s silly. What I’ve also learned in this challenge is that shorter books rule. They get you to your books read goal a lot faster than all those long books I’m generally reading!
