I actually met my goal for the 2018 Audiobook Challenge. My goal was 30+. Last year I listened to 26. One of the goals of the challenge is to "outdo yourself by listening to more audios in 2018 than you did in 2017," which I definitely accomplished.
Thanks again to our hosts, Hot Listens and Caffeinated Reviewer.
Here’s my list. I think the titles should link to my reviews.

One of my goals this year was to broaden my reading a bit. My goal for the Nonfiction Reading Challenge hosted at Doing Dewey was 6 nonfiction books, preferably in different categories. I ended up reading 12 and although some were similar to each other, overall I'm pleased with the variety. Thanks, Katie, so much for hosting!

I complete my goal for the 2018 Cloak and Dagger Reading Challenge. My goal was the Special Agent level, 36-55 books.

So I totally forgot to sign up for Michelle's Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge, so I'm doing it now, but I'm counting books I've read since the challenge started, November 19.
From her Christmas Spirit blog:
Details:* challenge will run from Monday, November 19, 2018 through Sunday, January 6, 2019 (Twelfth Night or Epiphany).* cross over with other challenges is totally permitted AND encouraged!* These must be Christmas novels, books about Christmas lore, a book of Christmas short stories or poems, books about Christmas crafts, and for the first time...a children's Christmas books level!
I'm aiming for the Christmas Tree level, which is 5 or 6 books. I'll also probably read some kids books.
I'll keep track of my books here.

I'm finally joining The Classics Club. Better late than never, right? I've been trying to read more classics and this just gives me an extra push. The Classics Club has been around since 2012. The goal is to “unite those of us who like to blog about classic literature, as well as to inspire people to make the classics an integral part of life.”
Here is my list of 50 classics I want to read by March 16, 2023. It's a "living" list, allowed to change and adapt. It’s made up of mostly novels, but there are also a few novellas, childrens books, and non-fiction titles thrown in.
