Notes: The book titles are mostly listed in order of completed. There are a few where the last played date was changed because I played the book at some point after completing it the first time. In 2013 I’ll try to make a note of a book the day it is completed. Looks like there are 21 titles completed for this year. There are a few that I stopped listening to part way through. Perhaps those will get a second chance in 2013.
