2024 Audiobook Challenge
Join Caffeinated Reviewer and That’s What I’m Talking About for the annual audiobook challenge.
Challenge Details
- Runs January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024. 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 2024 than you did in 2023.
- Books must be in audio format (CD, MP3, etc.)
- All 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, etc. I recommend creating a shelf on Goodreads titled 2024 Audiobook Challenge. You can keep track and link the shelf.
- Grab the button and do a quick post about the challenge to help spread the word. You can post on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or X, Threads, Mastodon, your blog etc. about the challenge.
- Updates plus a giveaway will be posted twice during the year. The first update will be July 6, 2024, and the last update will take place on December 28, 2024. You’ll have one week to link up and share your progress and enter giveaway

Julie’s 2024 Audiobook Challenge:
I did meet my goal for 2023 which was great, and taught me that raising the bar to try to outdo myself was hard.
It is hard to listen to audiobooks or do much reading in general when we move so much, and this is another moving year. And I find it impossible to read or listen to books when traveling with family. So I’m going to keep the same goal level.
My goal:
- Stenographer (can listen while multitasking) 10-15

Lynn’s 2024 Audiobook Challenge:
Yes. Yes I did listen to a lot of Audiobooks last year. 72% of all the books I read last year. But looking at that next level of 50+ books is unrealistic. That’s my whole reading goal for the year!
I’m sticking with the same goal as last year as well. It’s doable and still a stretch with looking at some really big books down the line to read.
My goal:
- My Precious (I had my earbuds surgically implanted) 30+
