Audiobook Challenge 2018: 3rd Quarter Update
It’s been another busy three months since my last update. Here’s what I’ve been listening to!
Challenge Details
- Runs January 1, 2018 – December 31, 2018. 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 2018 than you did in 2017.
- 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.
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 multi-tasking) 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+
This quarter I reviewed 9 audiobooks (counting only those I listened to from start to finish, i.e. not titles where I tag-teamed both formats) for a total of 37 for the year so far. My Precious level has been reached, which was originally my goal. If I want to go for gold with Marathoner though, looks like I’ll have to up my game in the next few months. I hope everyone is doing well on their reading challenges!

I am totally jealous. I know I could stuff in an extra 3-4 books a year just listening to books while on my little 20min commute to and from work, but when I tried to do that with the Song of Albion trilogy back in ’16, sigh, it was so HARD to concentrate on the books 😦
More power to you!

Yeah, I don’t have much time to sit and read these days, I read maybe an average of one print book a week if I’m lucky. Add in audiobooks though, I finished about 3-4 a week. If it weren’t for this format, no way would I be pulling in these numbers!

I might try this challenge next year and go for the weekend warrior – in fact I could probably make it to 7 books by the end of this year – which I know is almost laughable but I’m only just finding my feet with audio – and more to the point remembering to listen when I’m doing other things.
