The 2014 Audiobook Challenge is sponsored at Hot Listens and has several levels:
Rules
* 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): 6-10
* Stenographer (can listen while multi-tasking): 11-15
* Socially Awkward (Don’t talk to me): 16-20
* Binge Listener (Why read when someone can do it for you): 21-30
* My Precious (I had my earbuds surgically implanted): 30+
Since I read 10 audiobooks in 2013, I'm going to aim to read more, and go for the Stenographer level.
