I listened to an audiobook. However, the audiobooks listed were not the one I listened to. I couldn't find one from Blackstone Publishing. I looked on my computer not the app so I'm pretty sure it really isn't there. The hardcover which I shelved is the default edition and the cover is the same as what I listened to.
I updated the planning sheet.
