Once again this year, I signed up for the annual Audiobook Challenge, this year hosted by Hot Listens and The Caffeinated Book Reviewer. My personal goal is to listen to 50 audiobooks, meeting the My Precious (I had my earbuds surgically implanted) level (30-50 audiobooks) during 2017.

I listened to a lot of great books this year; it’s difficult to pick my favorites! In 2017, I rated nine audiobooks at 4.5 stars and seven at 5 stars! There were also several 4 stars. My narrator of the year is Renee Raudman, who narrated three of my 5 star books (White Hot, Wildfire, and One Fell Sweep, all by Ilona Andrews).
You can find most of my audiobook reviews either by checking out my Listen Up! Posts or on Booklikes and GoodReads.
