I finished February with 19 books (can't say that was a big achievement) I have started headway, this is a free app which gives you summaries of non-fiction, mainly self help books. You can pay for it but the free version can allow you to listen to one book a day.
As of today, I have completed 28 books, currently 20 books ahead of schedule.
