Audiobook Challenge 2019: 4th Quarter Update
It’s our final update for the 2019 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, 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.
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

- Marathoner (Look Ma No Hands) 50+
I kicked ass this quarter, completing 17 books which brings my total up to 60. Marathon level achieved! I hope everyone also did well on their audio goals this year, and we’ll see you again for the Audiobook Challenge 2020!

I managed to get through 21 that I was able to review and a further 4 that I haven’t reviewed yet. One of them was an 85 hour monster of an audio book 😲

Wow! What book was that, if you don’t mind me asking? 85 hours is insane, I’ve never seen that!

It’s called Galaxy Outlaws by J.S Morin. Technically it’s more than 1 book. Think it’s book 1-16.5 and is the complete series.
If you liked Firefly then this is the 85 hour space fest for you.

Wow, that’s impressive. Sounds fun, but 80+ hours of anything would probably make me burn out, lol…with little breaks though, I think it could work. Thanks for the recommendation!
