Audiobook Challenge 2023 results

 


At the beginning of this challenge, I chose 20-30 audiobooks. Well, I surprised myself by finishing with 39. On my blog, I have 39, but in Goodreads it only shows 38. Somewhere I missed something in shelving. Following is a list of all audiobook posts from this blog.








































I am doing the Audiobook Challenge for 2024, keeping the same goal. I will try to do a better job in keeping track of the audiobooks on Goodreads and this blog. If you enjoy audiobooks, challenge yourself in 2024.
