August Listening Challenge 👂

tl;dr as of 8/6 I’m at 6.5/10 hours and probably going to need to increase that goal soon. :joy:


Tracking my progress got unwieldy so I made a spreadsheet. Updates for the past few days:

Watched more Cardcaptor Sakura and Tokyo Mew Mew. We haven’t even gathered all of the allies in Mew Mew yet and I’m already considering dropping it, so I don’t think it’s for me… although it’s probably not fair to it to watch it along with CCS.

I also started listening to 放課後ミステリクラブ 1金魚の泳ぐプール事件 | L22 and got 45 mins in. It’s really easy to follow, despite having quite a few main characters. They’re all architypes so it’s easy to remember who’s who. Funnily enough, I feel like I know the least about the narrator, but it’s pretty easy to keep track of a narrator character.

btw, how do people track their audiobook progress? This hasn’t come up with me before since I usually read along to audiobooks (honestly, I hadn’t been brave enough to try it without text before). I saw a similar topic here: Audiobook read-along - do you log it?, but it doesn’t quite get to my issue. I don’t have a page number OR a percentage since audible only gives me the time read and remaining. I suppose I could do my own math, but lazy. I’m planning on keeping it at 0% and then marking as finished when I’m done, but that seems not entirely ideal.
(I’m also going to set the pages to 0 because I don’t want an audiobook read mucking up my page count, but maybe I’m also overthinking that…)
