My goal this year is 100,000. I was about 2,000 shy in 2023.

I had so much fun with this last year!! Lets make it another great year:)

I've never actually kept track of listening time for the entire year. This should be interesting.
I'm going to say 50000 minutes to start. That is me thinking at least five 10hr books a month, but I listen to quite a bit of books, so I may be lowballing.

My goal is 70,000 minutes.

I enjoyed it as well. I’ve never paid attention to how much I read based on time and was surprised at my final number.

This is my first listening minutes goal! But I’ve started listening to audiobooks more so I can read more. I’ll set…..50,000 minutes as a goal :)

I've never really paid attention to how much I listen. So I'll set a goal of 65000 minutes.

I've also never paid attention to how many hours I listen to. So, maybe 60,000 minutes? 🤔🤔 I'll go with that. 60,000 minutes. 🙌🏽

Hi all,

I've been a silent member of the group for years now.. unfortunately, I never dared to attend the challenges or the discussions.

I hope this year will be different, so I am joining as well, with a personal goal of 30,000 minutes. I am hoping to exceed it, but I don't want to be too optimistic :)

Have a great 2024!!

Yay! Glad you’re participating, Lilly.

My GR challenge recorded that I had 302 books read surpassing my 300 books goal. I wasn't sure why my spreadsheet only comes up with 298.
