                So this is the end for 2017.  I didn’t do as well on some of the challenges as I would have liked and others I surpassed my expectations.  I figure I for 3/6 isn’t horrible it’s halfway there!  I can say I went from a newbie at audiobooks to a fend quickly and I bought way more “new releases” than my budget probably wanted.  I will be combining the 2016/2017 challenges to one tab and setting up my new challenges for the year ahead.  I look forward to my goals for next year improving!  I'd love to hear how you're doing so link back to your wrap up!
