Congrats, Joyce!

Completed, but it was difficult! It's surprising how few audiobooks (that I'm interested in) are with solo male narrators.

Congrats, Kathy! I got lucky because a series I’m listening to is narrated by a solo man.

Finished at the medium level!

Success, I made it 8 which was the Hard level. See post #12.

Congratulations to everyone who completed this challenge. It was tough, there are not a lot of books I listen to that are narrated by single male performers and it seems like we all found the same thing.

Well done, Carla💜
