My "how?!?!" was in reaction to your already having completed several books when I had barely been awake for the new year yet lol. Nice start!!

haha ohhhh. I ordered my Audible list to length and just started knocking them off. I spent a lot of time on GR yesterday and then went to my parents' house so I had a lot of audio time. Plus I listen at 1.5x speed so I crammed a lot in. lol!

Leslie wrote: "Wow, you are off to a great start!"Thanks! I spent a lot of time on GR Fri/Sat and in doing so listened to a lot of hour-long audiobooks. I'm reading a couple of chunksters (Les Misérables and The Priory of the Orange Tree) so I need all the help I can get. lol.
