The 2013 Audiobook Challenge was such a big hit, the hosts, Hot Listens and The Book Nympho have decided to do it again this year. I’m so excited because now that I have an idea of what my listening habits are, I can better challenge myself.
Here are the details:
Reading Challenge Details:
- Runs January 1, 2014 – December 31, 2014. You can join at anytime.
- The goal is to find a new love for audios or to outdo yourself by listening to more audios in 2014 than you did in 2013.
- 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, Shelfari, 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.

- Newbie (I’ll give it a try) 1-5
- Weekend Warrior (I’m getting the hang of this) 5-10
- Stenographer (can listen while multi-tasking) 10-15

After totally crushing 2013, I’m going to put my goal for 2014 up there at My Precious. Not only because I think I can do it, but because I like the name!
Please, join in. If you’ve never listened to audiobooks before, here is your chance to find a new outlet and way to get more books into your life.
