Duration: January 1, 2016 - December 31, 2016

The Goal:
✩ Listen to 26 audiobooks in which the Narrator names (first or last) begin with the letters of the alphabet.

The Guidelines:
✩For audiobooks with dual or multiple narrators, any narrator listed can be used, but only one can be used.
✩ For the letters "Q", "U", "X" and "Y", the letter can be located anywhere in the name.
✩ Feel free to join the challenge any time during the year. As long you listened to the books in 2016, you can go ahead and backdate.
✩ Have fun! Be sure to check out the lists of other players...it's a great way to discover new narrators!

✩Feel free to update your posts if you like, but please repost when you complete the challenge - it makes tracking so much easier and reduces the chance that your accomplishment will be missed!
