As part of my 2025 blogging goals, I would like to participate more…become a joiner…so I will be signing up for the first time to the 2025 audiobook Challenge hosted by Kimberly from Caffeinated Reviewer and Jen from That’s What I’m Talking About.
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 2025 than you did in 2024.
- 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
Achievement 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 multitasking) 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+
- Marathoner (Look Ma No Hands) 50+
- Over-Achiever (Power Listener) 75+
- The 100 Club (Audiobook Addict) 100+
- I Can’t Hear You (earbuds always in) 125-150
- Audibly Addicted (listening to all the books 24/7) 150+
My Challenge Goal:
I generally have an audiobook always on the go, however, I tend to only listen when I’m in my car to and from work. This year I’d like to use this challenge to get me to break out my earbuds and listen more frequently – at all the times when my hands are too busy to read but my brain is not – so I am going to attempt Marathoner (Look Ma No Hands) 50+ level.
If you’d like to join in, visit Caffeinated Reviewer and That’s What I’m Talking About to sign up.
Happy audio listening!
