Audiobook Challenge 2017
The Audiobook Challenge 2017 has a new host, Kim @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer is joining Melanie and Loupe @ Hot Listens to keep us on our toes in the new year!
Audiobook Challenge 2017 Details:
- Challenge begins January 1, 2017 and ends on December 31, 2017. 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 2017 than you did in 2016.
- 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.
Audiobook Challenge 2017 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+
- Marathoner (Look Ma No Hands) 50+
I am going for Socially Awkward for next year, as I did manage to reach 10 for 2016… I had aimed for 12, and hey, there are still two more weeks until the very end of the year, so who knows – I might just make it, right?
There will be two giveaways for update posts, on June 30th and December 15th, so make sure you mark your calendars for those as well.
Are you joining? Do you already have a lot of audios? I have loads, both that I have gotten from audible.com, and audio ARCs that I have been lucky enough to get my hands on. And I have found that getting my workouts done is so much better when I have something hot to listen to!

Good luck, you can do it!
Yes I can! I have quite a few I’m really looking forward to already 🙂 Plus, it really helps me do my workouts when I have a good audio to keep me company 😀
Good luck, Lexxie! 🙂
Thank you, Stephanie 😀
Good Luck, Lexxie!
I’m doing this one, too.
Yay, Sophia Rose 🙂 I hope we’ll both do well!

i will pass…silence is preferred option as I have two high pitched kids. older brother had finally managed to teach his younger sister to scream high. Why can’t he teach her something nicer, like English?
Oh, when my kids were the age of yours, I only wanted silence, too, so I totally get that, Ailyn 🙂 Maybe in a few years? And why would he teach her something useful, like English, when he can bug his mom by teaching her to scream instead? :p

i am more surprised that they both do it with a cheeky smile. i think they know T_T
probably by next year i will be missing some adult conversations, will be good time
I have to admit that I never have listened to an audiobook and still not sure if they will be for me as I usually seem to prefer reading over listening. But who knows maybe 2017 will finally be the year I try an audiobook. Good luck with this challenge!
I enjoy audiobooks more and more, Lola, As I have started working out more often, it’s really nice to have a good book keeping me company when that happens, for example 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
Hmmm, I think I should totally do this! And I would probably be at the stenographer level. But I just checked my Audible account and I have 10 badges. Lol. Which probably means I listen to a lot more books that I thought I did!
What are these badges you talk about? *runs over to audible to see if she has any badges*
You should join us! The more the merrier and all that jazz 🙂
Did you find yours? I have 10 now and I can see them in the app. And yeah, I should join you! It’s not like I’ll stop listening to audiobooks. My only problem is that all the podcasts I listen to tend to get in the way. 🙂
I didn’t find badges, but I found that I have submitted 10 reviews (which isn’t a lot, really…) and I have 18 helpful votes 🙂

Good luck on your listening challenge. I can’t wait to see what audiobooks you’ll find. 🙂
Thanks, Melanie, and thanks for being one of our hosts!!
I’m so happy to see you’re joining in this challenge as well, Lexxie. We can cheer each other on – and buddy listen as well. 😉 Woohoo!! {{HUGS}}
