I exceeded my goal this year. I really thought I’d only listen to around 30 because I was trying to focus on my print and ebook TBR this year, but I managed to listen to more from my audio TBR and checked out a few jewels from the library. In this batch of titles, I would say my favorites were the Dannika Dark titles (of course) and surprisingly the Sleeping Beauty books by Anne Rice. I had never read her work before, and these were very hot and dark, and I can’t stop looking for more stories like them.
