Good job! Some of them are new to me so I’ll be checking them out.
I was addicted to audiobooks this year. I read about 40 of them and read less than 10 print books.
I feel like i listened to fewer this year than usual, but i also ran less, so those two probably go hand in hand.
That’s more than 2 a month so I’d consider it a success.
With audiobooks, if one is dragging, I don’t just set it aside and start a new one, like i would with print. I just spend less time listening to it, which just drags it out. I eventually finish it, but in that time I might have been able to listen to two that I really enjoyed.
