I’m totally in. I got really into audiobooks toward the end of the year, and I definitely plan on listening to more this year!
We should make a page for you! Or I can rename this one and add your challenge to it as well! (It’s just a little box you tick so it keeps track). Super easy either way!

Yes! Either one sounds great.
Okay cool, I’ll add you to this and rename it this weekend 😀

Alright, got you in! I set your goal for 20, but let me know what it should really be set at. When you schedule a post, just tick the box that says to add to your challenge and it will auto-show when the review goes live. And also tick the box for the FTC disclosure on review books, too. 🙂
