Wrap Up MBS 2022 Audiobook Challenge

WRAP - UP
MBS (Martha's Book Shelf) 2022 Audiobook Challenge 
 
2022 Audiobook Challenge
The 2022 Audiobook Challenge, hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer and That’s What I’m Talking About.

I COMPLETED This challenge well with 135 Audio books read out of a total of 144. Clearly, I favor listening to "reading".


I didn't sign up for this challenge the last few years but perhaps I should have. I have set my own goals though.
Here is my history of audio reading over the past six years:
2021 I listened to 113 books with the original goal only 64.
2020 I listened to 96 with the original goal of 75.
2019 I listened to 108 with the original goal of 75.
2018 Total Audio: 106.
I signed up for Marathon, 50 books in 2016 and 2017.
2017 I listened to 79 Audiobooks.
2016 I listened to 70 Audiobooks.

I am having more and more difficulty reading on the Kindle App. Listening goes much easier for me.
So for 2022 I am going for the high level "The 100 Club (Audiobook Addict) 100+".

I am working this into my Alphabet challenge too and already have many audio titles lined up.
