2018 Audiobook Challenge

Hot Listens and Caffeinated Reviewer hosted the 6th year of audiobook fun.
Click on either site for the sign up, rules and resources for audiobooks.

I love listening to Audiobooks. Here are some of the times I listen: while doing chores (laundry, gardening, housework, etc), while walking, while putting on make-up and getting dressed, while driving, when going to sleep.

THE LEVELS:
Newbie (I’ll give it a try) 1-5
Weekend Warrior (I’m getting the hang of this) 5-10
Stenographer (can listen while multi-tasking) 10-15
Socially Awkward (Don’t talk to me) 15-20
Binge Listener (Why read when someone can do it for you) 20-30
My Precious (I had my earbuds surgically implanted) 30+
Marathoner (Look Ma No Hands) 50+

I completed 79 Audiobooks in 2017 so I chose MARATHONER Status again this year.
I have currently listened to 99 and will finish the year out with more than 100.
