Another month, another recap. In January I felt like I rocked that month would a great start to the year. In February, I mellowed a bit but believed it was going to bounce back. Now here I am with a toe into April already and looking back at March as I type this with a mild curiosity.
How did I do?
For March I added 10 new books/audio to the map… however only three new states. 😯 Seem to have repeats in New York, Illinois, and Maine. GAH! For the first three months of the year I have in 18 of the 50 states. 6 books being outside the US.
Of those ten I wrote review for…. 7 were audio. I know. I can’t believe it myself… I need to sit down and READ. I am now at 21 audio books for the year.
I made no progress on the e-books challenge. I still have a partial one to read before I can count it. 😦
Thanks to Pandemonium, I was able to add one Dystopia read to the mix giving me three for the year, balancing me well for the 11 I hope to read in 2012.
No progress made on the 2012 Recommended Reading Challenge. 😦
For the year I am at 5,419 pages. Audio equals: 7 days and 62 minutes. I know… I know… but it is not idle listening… I clean, I cook, I work out… 😀
I am hopeful that April will pick up steam. I am finishing my third book for this month today, and I have finished 3 audio as well so far this month.

You’ve had a busy month! I’ve fallen in love (again) with audio books and just downloaded Stephen King’s The Shining (you know, for The Project). Right now, I just adore listening to the stories…must be the springtime! 🙂
Hoo! The Shining on audio!!! I want to know how that is!
I like your charts, Sheila.
March was a great month for me, with 17 reads and 5,400 pages. I did my recap last Sunday at Curl up and Read.
So far this month…4 books.
On Monday, I finished my last book for my eclectic reading challenge, which really took me outside my comfort zone with horror, sci fi, urban noir…you name it.
I’m making pretty good progress on the Mt. TBR Challenge.
I made the end chart clickable so it will take you to the site were I made it in case anyone else wants to do it 😉
You are having a good month!
52 states? What are you counting? I added D.C. to call it 50 states plus DC for 51. What have you added?
LOL…typo? Deck of cards? I dont know what I was doing….fixing it now. Didnt even notice that!
I have been having back, shoulder and neck problems for awhile so I can completely relate to listening rather reading the books, although you are way ahead on the audio front! I hope you had a blessed Easter Sunday!
Thank you Stacy – I love audio! Hope you are feeling better and Happy Easter to you too. I hope it was wonderful!
I haven’t been keeping track by month. I know I’ve read 19 books and listened to 13, which I thought was good until I saw your 21. Yikes! That’s a lot of listening.
Scarier than the amount of audio… is when my spread sheet adds up the time. I am over a week of my life in 2012 into audio now. 😯 I am ok with that knowing that is drive time, cooking, cleaning, and getting ready in the morning. 😀
I understand the feeling about audio books. More than half of my reads this year have been audiobooks
Mine have been that way the last couple years, I can double my reading thanks to Audio!
