As an audiobook listener I thought I would give this year's Audiobook Challenge a try. For a variety of reasons I don't know how far I will get this year, but it gives me an excuse to return to my blog.
I need something hopeful this year to help distract me from my troubles. Maybe a goal, a challenge, is just the thing.

I first learned about the Audiobook Challenge through Twitter, and I looked into it more on various blogs. Finally I decided today to look at the blog at the link below, and copy the rules, regs, and etc.

Challenge Details
- Runs January 1, 2018 – December 31, 2018. 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 2018 than you did in 2017.
- 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.
- Updates plus a giveaway will be posted twice during the year. First update in June 30, 2018 and last update in December 15, 2018
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 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+
My level is probably somewhere near Stenographer, since I mostly listen to audiobooks when commuting to and from work.
