well I finish 3 booked on the 1st and 2nd of Jan.... they will be a start on next years numbers
so according to my # I read over 9000 pages and listened to almost 450 hr of audio book. This was the first year I had more audio on my read list than ebook/books. Infact I only had one hardcopy book on the list. All the books this year were from this century.

another DNF!!!-- wow either my patience is wearing thin or i am choosing some bad ones...
The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett not sure if it was the narrator but i could not listen to this child any longer. I Actually got through more than half of it but something became avail from my hold list so i could not justify continuing- Life is too short to waste on stories you are not enjoying.
