Julie’s 2026 JIAM Mini Challenge:
Here I am declaring my intentions to join this challenge! Yay for June is Audiobook month!
We’re moving again this summer but most likely I am not driving as we will tow my car (ya girl ain’t driving 13+ hours!) but hubby tells me if I catch up to him on the Hell Divers series we can listen to the next book together. So… I might be doing an audiobook during that ride is what I’m getting at.
Otherwise? Well I hope my crazy moving in and getting settled while still working full time lifestyle allows me to listen to a few books. So I’m going to go for it, challenge join and all that. We’ll just see.
I don’t know which challenge I will end up getting, because I am mostly not wanting to think ahead about what I will read. But probably, most likely, one of these:
- Love your library (the primary way I get through so many books)
- Let there be Monsters (my primary genre is fantasy/paranormal)
- Going the Distance (I have some long ones on my recent purchased Audible sale and Libby holds)
- Tackle your Audiobook TBR (I mean, I did recently buy a ton of Audible books during their massive sale).
I know, ONE of these.

Lynn’s 2026 JIAM Mini Challenge:
I’m not going anywhere. And it’s too hot in Orlando to do anything outside. I guess I’ll walk on the treadmill and keep on listening to my books! I might as well join a challenge while I’m at it.
Honestly, I have a low boredom threshold. I’m not likely to read 3 books in the same series or genre in a month. For this challenge, I’ll go with:
- Going the distance. 12 hours is nothing!
- Love your library. It’s also my primary way to get books.
- Tackle your Audiobook TBR. Unlike Julie, I didn’t buy a ton of books on sale. But I did buy some! Though – loving the library and listening to your own books are contrary to each other. Guess I’ll see where the whims take me.
