I missed mid-year check in but I I am still listening to a lot of books and loving it. I’m 70% through my challenge count.
Kimberly
I am sorry you missed it. I recommend following me via email. Next year I will offer a sign up for reminders 😉 Congrats on your success. Watch for our final challenge update in December.

I missed check-in but I am still hanging in there real strong.
Kimberly
Sorry you missed it, but glad to hear you are rocking it. Next year I will offer a sign up for mid year reminder.
Mary @StackingMyBookShelves!
Thanks for doing this. I am glad I joined. I can’t believe it’s July already. To date, I am at 25 audiobooks. I am hoping to get to 50 but don’t know if I can. It’s good to have a goal! I hope all is well.
Mary
Kimberly
You are welcome. Keep listening Mary:)

Thanks for hosting this it really keeps me in check i realized when i did my post that my goodreads shelf and my blog progress bar did not match up so i needed to go back and post reviews for the ones i got to lazy and did not make posts for. I am at 28 books read and in progress with one now.
Kimberly
You only need to worry about your Goodreads shelf for numbers. I listen to some that I did not review for whatever reason.
Yalonda
I am so pleased with my progress in this challenge – working on #7 now! Having a new dog that needs walks doesn’t hurt any. Plus some marathon sessions getting our garden plot under control in the absence of our ‘tenant’ makes for prime audiobook time. Here’s to some wonderful audiobooks as we move into the last half of 2021!
Kimberly
Oh, yes….I love to walk and listen.
Melissa @ CloudsGirl27 Reads Books
I am up to 31 books listened to! This is my most audio books in a year. Thanks for hosting this challenge!!! 🙂
Kimberly
Fantastic!!
Nadene
I have listened to 17 towards my goal of thirty. I need to step up if I want to make it.
Kimberly
You will rally in the last quarter!
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
I’m a little embarrassed by my low challenge level in comparison to everyone else who has commented! At least I’m on target to hit my goal. I’m not a frequent audiobook listener, but I am enjoying them.
Kimberly
Being on target is awesome Lark!!
Yalonda
Same here – not a frequent listener & low challenge level. But it is fun to find an audiobook that I can enjoy. You’ve got this!
Linda @ (un)Conventional Bookworms
I’m pretty far off my goal this year for some reason… not sure how that happened – but it’s all good.
Kimberly
I feel you. I listened to more by mid-year last year. I am feeling overwhelmed 24/7 this year for some reason.
Jonetta (Ejaygirl) | Blue Mood Café
I’m on track to make The 100 Club goal! I’ve listened to more than 50 to date.
Kimberly
Wahoo!! Congrats.
Flora
I’m doing well. I’ve listened to 28 so far which is on target for getting to my goal of Marathoner.
Kimberly
That is wonderful, Flora. Keep up the good work!
Rachel
I’m doing better this year with 50 audiobooks so far. I have a lot more coming up so I think I reach my goal of 100. Good luck everyone else with the challenge! 🙂
Kimberly
Yay! I am glad Rachel. Keep it up!
Felicity Grace Terry
A great target, that you are more than half way … woohoo
blodeuedd
At 40 right now 🙂 I might aim for the 75+ 😀
Kimberly
You got this!
Vonnie
69 books?! Wow! I wish I was not so distracted this year so I can listen to that many books!
Jen at Introverted Reader
I need to adjust my goal upward. I joined at the Binge Listener level (20-30) but I just finished #27!
You’re making awesome progress!
Kimberly
Wahoo!! Feed that audio addiction 🙂
Sophia Rose
That’s an exciting goal and you’re doing fab staying on pace. I’m going for 100 books, but I’m hoping to reach even higher. Sitting at 78 books right now.
Kimberly
You as always rock my dear 🙂
