Audiobook Challenge

Hosted by Hot Listens 

Challenge Goal:

Join Hot Listens for the 4th year of great audio books. Audiobooks are great for those times you want to read but can’t for some reason like driving, doing chores, working out, or if you’re one of the lucky ones like me, listen to them at work. I hope all those new and old junkies can join us once again for The 2016 Audiobook Challenge. Listening is never been better, thanks to the popularity of Audiobooks just about everything is being published on audio…YAY! There has never been a better time for reading with our ears :)

Challenge Guidleines: 

• Runs January 1, 2016 – December 31, 2016. 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 2016 than you did in 2015. 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.
