I love audiobooks and listened to 40 audiobooks last year, so I had to sign up for this challenge again this year. It’s hosted by Hot Listens & Caffeinated Reviewer and you can sign up anytime you like.
Challenge Details
- Runs January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019. You can join at any time.
- The goal is to find a new love for audios or to outdo yourself by listening to more audios in 2019 than you did in 2018.
- Books must be in audio format (CD, MP3, etc.)
- ANY genres count.
- Re-reads and crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed.
- You do not have to be a book blogger to participate; you can track your progress on Goodreads, Facebook, LibraryThing, etc.
- If you’re a blogger grab the button and do a quick post about the challenge to help spread the word. If you’re not a blogger you can help by posting on Facebook or Tweeting about the challenge.
- Updates plus a giveaway will be posted twice during the year. The first update will be June 30, 2019, and the last update will take place on December 15, 2019.
Achievement Levels
- Newbie (I’ll give it a try) 1-5
- Weekend Warrior (I’m getting the hang of this) 5-10
- Stenographer (can listen while multitasking) 10-15
- Socially Awkward (Don’t talk to me) 15-20
- Binge Listener (Why read when someone can do it for you) 20-30
- My Precious (I had my earbuds surgically implanted) 30+
- Marathoner (Look Ma No Hands) 50+
I’m going to aim for My Precious but I hope I’ll pass it and reach Marathoner by the end of the year.

I’ll be interested to see how this goes as I can’t get on with audio books!

Good luck! I may end up participating since I am getting into more audiobooks! And I’ll have a new baby in a couple of weeks so maybe that will be the best format to read?!?

I’m trying not to sign up to any challenges this year but this one does sound tempting. I listen to more and more audio books these days and really enjoy them. I hope you smash your challenge target and that you listen to some fabulous books this year! 🙂

You’re probably the most voracious audiobook reader I know out there. I haven’t even “read” one audiobook in my life yet. 😛 Good luck on this one, Nicki!

Do you know if there is a way to search narrators? I love audiobooks but I’ve listened to some great book with crappy narration.

Oh yeah bad narrators really kill audiobooks.The only way I’ve done it is to listen to sample either on the app I’m using, like audible, Libby or rbdigital. I’ve also looked for specific narrators that I like on the apps or websites like amazon. Hope that helps.
