The Audiobook Challenge is back for 2025! I’ll be joining Kimberly from Caffeinated Reviewer and Jen from That’s What I’m Talking About, the co-hosts for the 12th year of this challenge. This will be my first year doing this challenge, so I am an itty bitty newborn. I will be doing the Newbie level obviously.
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 or X, 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.
- Use hashtag #2025AudiobookChallenge on social media to alert others to your listens and progress!
