2018 Audiobook Challenge is hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer and Hot Listens. I didn’t manage to reach my goal in 2017, but I am still going to try again next year. I have started listening to audiobooks in my car while I drive to and from work, and it makes my commute so much more pleasurable!
2018 Audiobook Challenge Details:
- Runs January 1, 2018 – December 31, 2018. 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 2018 than you did in 2017.
- 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, 2018, and the last update will take place on December 15, 2018.

- Newbie (I’ll give it a try) 1-5

I’m going with Socially Awkward again… hopefully, 2018 will be the year where I’ll make it 🙂

Good luck Lexxie. With listening while you commute we will make a marathoner out of you yet!
Thank you, Kim! I guess it could happen 🙂 But my commute isn’t all that long.
Cheering you on to reach your goal, Lexxie!
Thank you Sophia! I am probably going to need those cheers 🙂
Oh have fun! I usually do this one but I’ve been slacking off a lot of challenges for a while.
Slacking is all good, Melissa. I have so many audiobooks already, and now that I’m able to drive and concentrate on where I’m going at the same time as I’m listening to a book, it’s really fun!

I hope you fare out better this time around. Good luck.
Thanks Nadene!
Good luck with the challenge this year, Lexxie!
Thanks Carole 🙂
Sounds like a fun challenge, I do enjoy listening to audiobook while I do things around the house. Good luck on your challenge Lexxie 🙂
It is fun! And I need the cheers from other participants to help me stay on track 🙂
Every year I say I must get onto audiobooks and since the odd time I drive to my mum’s house on my own which takes over an hour, I always think ‘I must have it all worked out by then. I might give this a try! Best of luck!
In the beginning, I found it really hard to listen to audiobooks. The very first I listened to actually helped me sleep on a transatlantic flight :O And the first time I listened in my car, I missed my exit on the highway 😀 Now, though, I love having stories accompany my commute, even if it isn’t a long commute.
I just might give this a go. Looking for some new challenges and I just got started on audbiles this year and enjoy them. Got a stack looking at me right now. LOL
I hope you sign up, Laura! It’s fun – and even if I didn’t meet my goal this year, that’s all on me – not anyone else. It’s a good way to find new narrators that are good, too.
I’m excited to up my game for 2018. I started this year and only picked newbie thinking I had just started to enjoy them and I made it to My Precious status!
I just adore doing this challenge every year because Audio Books are amazing. Its great to listen to while I am blogging or cleaning or coloring. Hope you are well here.
Good luck with the challenge! You’ve inspired me to sign up, I have oodles of audiobooks to get through :/

Good luck! I am aiming for one audiobook a month (not counting anything I listen to from other challenges).
