My goal for 2020 was to finish 70 audiobooks, and I’m not going to make it by a bunch. Even though I finished 72 audiobooks in 2019, like many of you, I found myself reading/listening much less during the COVID-19 pandemic.
My favorites for the second half of 2020 include: A Touch of Stone and Snow by Milla Vane, Narrated by Nicole Poole; Murder on Cold Street by Sherry Thomas, Narrated by Kate Reading; She Wakes in Water by M. K. Gibson, Narrated by Xe Sands; and Forget About Me by Karen Grey, Narrated by Emma Wilder and Brian Pallino.

*Not counting my re-listens or DNFs
My favorites for the second half of 2020 include: Emerald Blaze by Ilona Andrews, narrated by Emily Rankin, The Vow by Dannika Dark, narrated by Nicole Poole, and I’m still in love with J.D. Robb’s In Death series narrated by Susan Ericksen.
My goal for 2020 was to finish 30+ audiobooks; I knew I could easily do that so that’s why I didn’t count my relistens, not that I did a lot of those. In years past I’ve easily cleared 80-100 audiobooks but that was when I had a job where I could listen all day. I don’t have that luxury anymore so my listening time is way down but my total is nothing to sneeze at.
