I need to total up my year total so far, see if I need to try to meet a specific hour goal this month to hit any nice round numbers.

Edit: Okay, here are my month totals:

Oof, May was a bad month for me. Anyway, my original listening goal this year was 360 hours, so :partying_face:, that’s easily checked off! And if I happened to do well, my stretch goals were 430 hours and 500. I need 34 hours to hit 430 total, and 104 to hit 500 (:sweat_smile:), so I think I know what number I’ll be aiming for this month, haha.

I’m gonna list some listening stuff I’d like to finish this month as a bit of a checklist for myself:
Finish reading/listening to the 穏やか貴族の休暇のすすめ。3 | L32 audiobook
Finish watching D.Gray-man S2 | L23??
Read/listen to the next 本好き book with @shitsurei (may not finish this month)
:red_question_mark: Start and finish D.Gray-man HALLOW S1 | L30?? (Might see if I can read this arc in the manga before watching)
