@Ashley. There are no rules against counting audiobooks that I can see, I do count them.
It's your challenge, you decide how many books, pages, etc. I guess it's up to you if you want to include audiobooks :)

13. Red Sister
14. The Sandcastle Girls
Books: 14/45
Pages: 4,760/13,500
Non-fiction: 21.43% (20% goal)

CONGRATS will you be increasing your page goal or should I put your name down in the Winners Circle for Pages?

✅ Appointment with Death ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Consequently, I will commit to a book count (Q - can I update this goal later?) My annual goal is 48, so my quarterly goal is 12 - and add 4 short stories / novelettes to that goal.
Short Story - Touring with the Alien, Carolyn Ives Gilman, 3 stars
Short Story - The Tomato Thief, Ursula Vernon, 4 stars
Short Story - You'll surely drown here if you stay, Alyssa Wong, 5 stars
Novelette - The Jewel and her Lapidary, Fran Wilde, 4 stars
Novel - A Conspiracy of Faith, Jussi Adler-Olson, 5 stars
Novel - Still Life, Louise Penny, 5 stars
Novel - My Sister's Grave, Robert Dugoni, 3 stars
*The above are completed* ^^^
DONE - Novel - The Buried Book, D.M. Pulley

Up next was: Stand on Zanzibar, John Brunner - finished 10-1
Following that was: We are all Completely Fine, Daryl Gregory - finished 10-2
DONE - Novel - Stand on Zanzibar, John Brunner*
DONE - Novel - We are all Completely Fine, Daryl Gregory*
* The last two entries were marked completed on 10-1 and 10-2, but that's close enough for me! A family crisis cost me more than a week of reading time - and both of the last two were 95% read in September. I'm counting them! :)
Final totals, 12 novels; 1 novelette; 3 short stories

1. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
2. Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
