Once again this year, I signed up for the annual Audiobook Challenge, this year hosted by Hot Listens and The Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

I did a lot of series binge listening, finishing up (books released to date) both the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne, read by Luke Daniels, and the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, read by James Marsters. Both series are wonderful, with amazing narrators. I also started and finished the Bluegrass series, a three-book series by Molly Harper and read by Amanda Ronconi. It is hard to pick a favorite book because I listened to so many I enjoyed.
You can find most of my audiobook reviews either by checking out my Listen Up! Posts or on Booklikes and GoodReads.
