2014 Audiobook Challenge - I'm blaming you, Booklikes!
Seriously, I think I'm certifiable on this one. I've already got three challenges going (and I've never done one before) but I could not pass this one up after seeing it on Booklikes' post 7 Reading Challenges To Join in 2014. It also works perfectly considering I've signed up for a year of Audible for the first time in my life. With that, I simply couldn't say no. Right?
Right now, I'm planning on the Stenographer level or 10 - 15 audiobooks. Since I have 12 credits on Audible, this might actually work out.
[Update 7/1/2014: Completed Stenographer on June 17th. Am now going for Binge Listener!]
Maybe.
Reading Challenge Details:
- Runs January 1, 2014 – December 31, 2014. 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 2014 than you did in 2013.
- 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, Shelfari, 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.
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+
