Completed Audio 2 (post 131: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) and I think I spotted an audio 3...will look to do it next year I think!
Mod
Yes, part 3 is now up and running :)
Seems I've spent 3 months trying to decide whether to start this for 2019 or keep doing Part I until I've checked off everything. Maybe I'll do both, but for now, I'm getting going on this one. As time allows, I'll likely go back to use all my January through March books, but at least I can start working with my current listen. (And I can stop worrying about how many hours everything is; it's not always easy to find out.)
