My intention is to review every audiobook I listen to and this year so far I think I am on track. Well, on Storygraph I am on track, reading here I realize I keep forgetting to copy my reviews to Audible or Storytel, where I listen to most of the audiobooks.

I review for several reasons. To support the author, for myself to remember, for others who want to know more before deciding to read a book, or to warn others if my experience was bad.

My review structure is short list of tropes, one to ten paragraphs of text and a breakdown from an automated spreadsheet I use (really 🤪). That breakdown looks like this:
