2025 Audiobook Challenge – Join

2025 Audiobook Challenge

Join Caffeinated Reviewer and That’s What I’m Talking About for the annual audiobook challenge.

 

Challenge Details

• Runs January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025. 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 2025 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, BlueSky, 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 5, 2025, and the last update will take place on December 27, 2025. You’ll have one week to link up and share your progress and enter giveaway.

Julie’s 2025 Audiobook Challenge:

Audiobooks are my favorite way to read, but with no commute and little alone time (I spend most of my work hours on meetings) it’s hard to find time to listen.

I do pay for Audible and have also fallen in love with Libby app getting to borrow audiobooks from the many libraries I have joined.

My goal:

• Socially Awkward (Don’t talk to me) 15-20

My goal isn’t extravagant or minimal. It’s realistic. And it’s also an increase from the goal last year since I beat my 2024 audio goal (which was a mini baby goal of Stenographer)!

 Lynn’s 2025 Audiobook Challenge:

Ugh. I don’t know which level to choose! I did listen to 52 audio books last year. But stating out loud a plan to actually listen to 50+ plus again this year is formidable!

• Marathoner (Look Ma No Hands) 50+

But I’m going for it! I guess we’ll see if that’s a doable goal or not in 12 months.
