Audiobook Challenge 2020: 3rd Quarter Update
It’s been another busy three months since my last update, but here’s what I’ve been listening to!
Challenge Details
- Runs January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2020. 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 2020 than you did in 2019.
- 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. First update in June 30, 2020 and last update in December 15, 2020.
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+
- The 100 Club (Audiobook Elite) 100+
With another 21 audiobooks under my belt, that brings my total for the year up to 58! I probably could have managed more, but my audiobook listening took a hit in September. Still, I’ve blown away Marathoner level and I think I can still reach my personal goal of 75 audiobooks by the end of the year, and maybe even 80 if I push myself real hard.
And that’s my progress update! Are you doing the Audiobook Challenge this year? If so, how are you doing?
The BiblioSanctum 
Doing poorly. I’ve finished a single book in the last quarter. Is it possible to have listener’s block? If so, I’ve got that. I still have faith in you for a hundred! All you have to do is… um. Okaaay, maybe 80 is more reasonable 🙂

It’s definitely possible! I had a string of bad to mediocre books this summer, after my 4th or 5th disappointment, it was tough to get motivated even with audiobooks.

You’re doing great! I have sadly done bad with audiobooks. I might finish 3 by the end of the year. Maybe 4 if I’m lucky.

58! That’s amazing! My audiobook reading really slipped this year. I also think I somehow forgot about a 3rd quarter update LOL whoops. 🙂

I think we all slipped a bit this year, I know I did! And no worries, I posted my third quarter update much later than this last year lol!

Wow, 58 so far, and still another 3 months to go! You have my respect, that’s quite a bit of listening. I’m up to 24. If I can continue that pace it’s possible I’ll hit My Precious. Considering last year I finished Socially Awkward (which seems fairly appropriate for me 🙂), I’m happy with the progress.

I think audio is the only format I can manage right now! My kids have taken over my ipad and other electronic devices for school, so it’s either listening or hard copes 😛
