2017 Audiobook Challenge

I participated in the Audiobook Challenge again for 2017!
Hot Listens and new co-host Caffeinated Book Reviewer hosted for the 5th year of great audio books.

Levels were:

• 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 listened to 70 Audiblooks in 2016. I chose the Marathoner Level again for 2017.
I completed the challenge successfully with 79 audiobooks listened to.
I still need to do reviews for the last six titles.
