2024 Reading Challenges ~ Final Update

Happy Monday y’all! 2024 feels like both the longest year in history and the shortest 😅 So much change in my life this year, some good and some sucky. My reading took a hit this year, or at least I thought it did. Despite having read less books this year, according to my year in books on Goodreads, I read more pages. So my books are just getting bigger 😂 I definitely didn’t complete all of my goals this year. But that’s ok. There’s always next year, right? Read on to see my final totals and which books counted where.

The 2024 Audiobook Challenge was hosted by the Caffeinated Book Reviewer and That’s What I’m Talking About. For this challenge, you simply have to listen to audiobooks. My original goal for this year was Marathoner (50+ audiobooks) with the goal of listening to one audiobook a week, and I did it 🙌.
