Yay, Breann!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I really need to work on this challenge! I've done the listening, and then some, but I haven't listed out the categories! Oh well, nothing like putting things off...

Maybe I'll just put it off a little more! =P

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

I'm right there with you...I know I've got plenty that I've listened to, but just need to get them all sorted out. Maybe after Christmas...

[MountainKat, Moderator]

That's what I was thinking!

[D.G.]

I will probably listen to a few more books before the end of the year but given that I already exceeded the number of books I was supposed to read, I'll stop here so I'm done with the updating. :)
