2012 Audio Book Challenge

I know I’ve mentioned this a few times already, but I’ve only started listening to audio books over the past year, and I’m surprised at how much I’ve started to like them. I’ve even written some words in a few reviews that I didn’t think I ever would: “I highly recommend this on audio.” What started as a desperate way to squeeze in a little more reading time has become something that I truly enjoy. So it makes perfect sense for me to join in this challenge now!

I’ll be signing up at the Going Steady level–12 audio books. Visit Teresa’s Reading Corner to sign up and to find out more about the publisher and reviewer spotlights she has planned!

I’ll track my progress here.
