I'm sticking with my goal of 100 books. It is just enough to be challenging without being impossible.

Haha, some of them are novellas. I ended the year with Covid and then got the flu, so I have had the luxury of extra reading time. When I had the flu, I was so nauseous I couldn't watch TV because of all the food commercials...lol I listened to audio books.

Sometimes being sick works out! lol. When I had Covid, I couldn't read or listen to audio and I was devastated. I could only semi-watch TV. Luckily the bad part only lasted 2 days but it was a long 2 days. Glad you're feeling better!

I am listening to Lovely War and it is the same narrator as Flavia! I would recognize her voice anywhere. I think after listening to another book with her as the narrator she really adds to the character of Flavia for the audio books.
