I accidently messed up on the first rafflecopter prompt and can’t change it! I was #71 on the original post and signed up as Joanna @ TheGeekishBrunette.
Love doing this every year!
Kimberly
No worries. I got you. So glad you enjoy the challenge.

Erika
I’m currently at 45 – making good progress
Kimberly
Way to go Erika!
Christie
I’m at 81 books with my goal of 75…perhaps I will raise my goal to 100! I had gone lower knowing that I wanted to listen to more podcasts this year, which of course I couldn’t count towards this.
Kimberly
You can do a 100!
Carla
I am ahead of my goal. As of June 30th, I have listened to 155 audiobooks. I am loving listening, it is my primary way of enjoying a book these days.
Kimberly
Outstanding Carla!

My Updates
Kimberly
Awesome Sandy!
Karin
I’m currently at 91/150 books for the year. I updated my goal from 200 because I’m going a lot slower than last year.
Kimberly
This is fantastic!
Melissa The Reading Nerd
I had originally said Marathoner (50+), but I’m already at 41 listenened to! Maybe I’ll make it to 75 before the year is done.
Kimberly
Wahoo!!
Mark
Sorry, I entered the wrong numbers on the first prompt – the one where we list our number from the original sign up. Should have said 59 instead of 15, which is my place in the mid-year check in.
Kimberly
LOL, no worries Mark
Megan Riverina Romantics
I was originally going for “I can’t hear you” but according to GR I’m like 12 behind schedule. Hopefully I’ll catch up.
Kimberly
You’ve got this!
Mary Kirkland
Good luck with your goals.

Checking in. Doing good, will try and keep it up 🙂
Kimberly
Yay…. keep listening!
Sophia Rose
I am right on track for my goal Audibly Addicted. I’m at 79 and hope to finish strong.
Thanks for hosting, Kimberly!
Kimberly
Of course you are! You are going to nail this!
Taylor @ Taylor Fenner's Bookish World
My goal for 2024 was “My Precious (I had my earbuds surgically implanted) 30+” but since I’ve already listened to 42 and we’re only halfway through the year I’m bumping myself up to “Over-Achiever (Power Listener) 75+”
Kimberly
Wahoo! Go Taylor!

Meezan
I’m at 22 for the year so far, which is within the range that I wanted to accomplish for the year. I will most likely pass 30, but for now, I’ll keep this as my goal.
Kimberly
just keep listening….
nickimags @ Secret Library Book Blog
Great job listening to 64 so far! I’ve played safe again this year going for Marathoner and have listened to 45 so far. I’m really pleased with that number. Maybe I should try Over Achiever next year? :/
Kimberly
I am stretching… you should too!
