To finish the series category I am just missing a book 2 in series
Just finished #8 & 9. :)
really good YA read.
ok read. Pretty much the story ended where I expected it to start. If you like a story with a slow build and a bit of a warm the heart/moral of the story ending, check it out. 
Currently listening to finish off a series!
Karen wrote: "To finish the series category I am just missing a book 2 in series"I don't have any series that are that long. My longest is Mercy Thompson, which currently has 8 books. Not sure I'll be able to finish the series section.
Unless I can find a book 9 and 10 to a series that you don't need to read them in order???
I just finished part one, so here I am! (I plan to do one of each, except for horror, which I never read.)Level: Producer 21-24 books

Good idea. I'll look into those.
Mod
Finished Necessary Lies
and Fuzzy Nation
. Really enjoyed both of them. I'm currently listening to A Man Called Ove
and it's ok. I think I expected a lot more out of the book and I'm not loving it like I hoped to. Planned audios for June:
Finish A Man Called Ove
Silver Borne
The Color Purple
Redshirts
Lock In
Murder on the Orient Express
Finders Keepers starting the end of the month for a buddy read :)
And maybe:
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or
We Have Always Lived in the Castle
I have set my goal pretty high this time. Let's see how I do!
Ok... I have a question about the foreign book. I am listening to Night by Elie Wiesel. The book is translated into English. Is that what we are going for? I don't have to actually listen to it in a different language, correct? My version is narrated by George Guidall. I have no idea what his first language was, but the author's first language would not have been English.
Mod
When I signed up, I was really looking forward to this. However, DH doesn't like hearing the audiobooks, even though I have to hear his TV. And his schedule is such that he's now around at the times when I used to listen the most. Sigh.
Posting to bump this up because I had a hard time finding it and just updated my original post #13.

Does anyone have any suggestions for good audiobooks set in Asia, Australia, or New Zealand? I've read a few books set in Australia, but don't typically come across many set Asia or New Zealand (unless I'm specifically looking for them). I'd love some recommendations.
Mod
I thought The Orphan Masters Son was amazing and the audio was pretty good.
I have loads of Aus ones I can recommend, but I'll keep thinking about what I've read set in Asia on audio for you

I've made it to 45/50. I'm not sure if I'll finish all 50 within the year, which would be February 19th for me, but it'll be close! Karen - how are you doing on yours?
Mod
You know I haven't updated mine in ages. I need to do that to see where I'm at. !
I was curious because I hadn't seen any updates from you in a while. :) You may have reached your 50 already!

Book to movie
Author narration
Europe
Asia
--I need to check to see if I have already covered these... will check it out when I have some time at a later stage
Way to go! Do you have favorites? I have Dracula, My Man Jeeves, and Night Music in my Audible collection, but haven't listened to any of them yet. Book to movie - I'm hoping to read The Danish Girl this year. I don't know how it is on audio, but I have high expectations.
Mod
My man Jeeves wasn't bad, but I found it could get a bit grating at times.
I just realised I could use seven years I Tibet as book to movie and then find another foreign book... Hmmm...
In it sure I have a favourite, but all the Phyrne Fisher books are great on audio : Stephanie Daniel is a superb narrator. And all the Jojo Moyes books too
Mod
I'll update when I have a chance ; maybe tomorrow
Mod
Just had 5 minutes so updated with the last few:

Oh! I really want to listen to the Harry Potter books. I've heard they're very well done.
