Degrees of Affection

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+
