Hi. This post might be a tad late but since I’m already getting more and more confident with my English listening skills, I finally decided to join Caffeinated Reviewer and That’s What I’m Talking About’s 2025 Audiobook Challenge.
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, BlueSky, 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.
Achievement Levels
What level will you choose?
- Newbie (I’ll give it a try) 1-5
- Weekend Warrior (I’m getting the hang of this) 5-10
- Stenographer (can listen while multitasking) 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+
- Over-Achiever (Power Listener) 75+
- The 100 Club (Audiobook Addict) 100+
- I Can’t Hear You (earbuds always in) 125-150
- Audibly Addicted (listening to all the books 24/7) 150+
For this challenge, I am not going to set the bar high for myself yet because 1. I still prefer reading over listening and 2. I only listen when I am doing house chores or taking a bath. Heh. I will aim to achieve the Weekend Warrior level which I think is realistic for my situation. 😀 If you wanna know more about that books that I’ll be listening to for 2025, check my 2025 Audiobook Challenge Goodreads shelf.
