  Wow!  It's the halfway point of the year, and time to check in on the Audiobook Challenge, hosted by    Caffeinated Reviewer  and  That’s What I’m Talking About .  So far, I've read 7 audiobooks and I'm listening to the eighth.  I chose Binge Listener as my goal for the year. I feel behind because I thought I'd get along a little further during June. I have the rest of the year to meet my goal. The link above is to my Goodreads, if you want to be friends. I'm off to read!

  I'm joining in! JIAM 2025 Audiobook Challenge  Hosted by  Caffeinated Reviewer  &  That’s What I’m Talking About . I'm participating in the yearly challenge, and I'm joining in on this one to tackle my Audiobook TBR and Finish/Start a Series. Check out the challenges here . Let me know if you're joining in?

  This is a snapshot of my Goodreads stats. I exceeded my reading goal. Which I love. I think I'll keep 200 as my goal for 2025. I still have quite a few NetGalley ARCs that I need to finish, so I need to work on that next year. I chose Binge Listener as my Goal for 2024, which was 20-30 books. I only managed to read 11 audiobooks last year. I'm not sure if I should keep the same goal or lower it. Happy Reading

This Week I caught a cold early in the week, so I was dealing with fever, body aches, and congestion. It meant a lot of sleeping and a few days of not cooking, which I was grateful for. Now, I'm just dealing with a lingering cough. I'm usually sick later in the month maybe this means I'll be able to go out for my birthday. And how is the month half way over?

  It’s time for the 2023 Audiobook Challenge Mid-Year Check-In. This event is hosted by  Caffeinated Reviewer  and  That’s What I’m Talking About . My goal for the year is: My Precious I've read a total of 8 books so far.  So I've fallen behind.  I started an audio ARC a while back but put it down to concentrate on other books and I've ignored that I need to finish it. Two covers are missing because I got lazy. xo Alicia

  I didn't set a goal for myself because this was my first year participating. I wanted to see how many books I could read without pressure. I read 26 audiobooks this year.  Here is the link to my Goodreads Audio Shelf There are three books from the previous year there and I'll set up a separate shelf for 2023.

  I'm taking part in the Audiobook Challenge again next year. I didn't have a set goal for 2022 since it was my first year participating but I'm setting a goal for next year.  I haven't tallied this year's books but I want to set my goal for: My Precious Challenge Details Runs January 1, 2023 – December 31, 2023.
