Audiobook Challenge 2018: 4th Quarter Update
It’s our final update for the 2018 Audiobook Challenge! Thank you to the challenge hosts and here’s to another year of great listens. Let’s see how everyone did.
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 listened to 6 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 43 for the year total. I didn’t quite make Marathoner, but that’s okay, as my goal was My Precious and I blew that level away! And of course, 2019 is another year and you better believe we’ll be doing this again. I hope everyone is did well on their challenges this year!

Hey, cool! When will your next challenge start? 1st of Jan? I will join you next year, I still have audiobooks on audible I haven’t listened to yet and I need to get into it again, so I can do other things while still enjoying a good story 😀

I didn’t do any challenges this year and liked it so much that I’m going to repeat it in 2019 😉
Aaaaand I just realized, this sounds like you accidently replied to me instead of to Mogsy…

Ah.. well.. it was definitely NOT a ploy to bully you into joining. Apparently, I can’t press the right buttons 😀

Haha, I’m not really one for challenges either, though this one is one I’ve been doing with my cobloggers since around the time we started this site up, so for me I guess it’s just tradition. I also do the Goodreads one, and that’s about it.

A lot of people find that they have to ease into audiobooks. I didn’t take to them right away either.

It was great in audio! King novels usually have good narrators…unless he’s narrating them himself 😛

I’m not participating in this one but I think I’m firmly in the marathoner category lol! I’m lucky in that I can listen to books while I work sometimes so that helps. 🙂 Congrats on making your goal!
