Overview

This is continuing on from a challenge I set to myself last year, but I'm hoping this year that I finish it. The general goal is 24 Nonfiction Audiobooks or Books (Kindle/Physical Book) for anyone who wants to participate. For myself, I am adding a provision that it needs to be longer than 12hrs long, or, over 500 pages. Please feel free to join!
