I've decided to join this challenge too since I have gone back to listening to audiobooks once again. Both Hot Listens and Caffeinated Book Reviewer are hosting this challenge for the 5th year. I've decided to try the Weekend Warrior Level (5 to 10 audiobooks).

Audiobooks are great for those times you want to read but can’t for some reason like driving, doing chores, and working out. I like to listen while cooking, cleaning and folding laundry.

My List of Audiobooks Listened to and Reviewed in 2017:

1. The Velvet Hours by Alyson Richman
2. Love and Gelato by Jenna Evan Welch
3. The Garden of Letters by Alyson Richman
4. Warrior of the People by Joe Starita
5. Return to Umbria by David P. Wagner

Challenge Details:

• Runs January 1, 2017 – December 31, 2017. You can join at anytime.
