Challenge Details

  • Runs January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024. You can join at any time.

  1. Jessica

    Excited to join this challenge! I’m starting with the goal of Weekend Warrior. I have 3 (almost 4) audiobooks completed already this year and lots more on the list!

    • Kimberly

      Glad you joined. Be sure to sign up for the mini challenge in June. There will be awesome prizes & fun challenges!

  3. Monisha

    I would like to up my level once more to Audibly Addicted … Almost to 60 already

  4. Monisha

    I am planning to up my level to Over-Achiever .. I am already working on book 30 so

  5. Mircallia

    This is my first time participating in this challenge. Although I always have earbuds in my ears, I am going for an over-achiever.

  6. Dee Stafford

    Hi, I’m Dee,

    What a nifty idea. I’m joining at the socially awkward level. 15-20.

    Also I love your theme. I just bought the book blogger plugin from noze graze at the end of the year. Although I have a Divi membership, I think I want one of her themes as well.

  7. Monisha

    I am excited to join .. this is my first time .. i would like to go with the marathoner .. I love audiobooks

  8. V Williams

    I did not do well in ’23. I still can’t believe it–maybe I missed a few? Still, I’m going for Marathoner-50-again and this time hope to do better with reporting too!

    • Kimberly

      Good luck. We do a check in once mid-year and once at the end. You can fill out the Google form to get a reminder.

  9. Rachel Kokes

    Just joined. Going to shoot for Binge Listener. Thanks for hosting this challenge!

  10. Deborah

    Hello from Northern Michigan,
    With our first blizzard of the year its the perfect time for a new challenge. Since this is a new challenge for me, I just started to really get into Audio books I pledge to 30 audio listens.

  21. William

    I just started reading audiobooks last year and am hooked! So I was really happy to find this challenge. Looking forward to sharing my reads and seeing what everyone else is reading.

  22. Dave

    Never done a reading challenge before, but I’ve always got my headphones on and a good book in the queue. Shooting for 100 this year.

  24. Christy K.

    Excited for the New Year and the great reading goals ahead! Best wishes everyone and Happy Reading / Listening!

  25. Lynnette

    This is my goal
    My Precious (I had my earbuds surgically implanted) 30+

  30. Samantha Smith

    I just signed up. I usually listen only when driving so probably 5 audiobooks a year, but this year, I’m going to challenge myself to listen to at home. I think I can manage 15-20. I always do a reading challenge on Goodreads. I think this will be fun. Thanks

  34. Christie

    Even though I exceeded 100 audiobooks in 2023, I’ll go for over-achiever (+75) to allow for more podcast listening in 2024. Good luck everyone!

    • Kimberly

      You only need to keep track and show that you listened Lark. You don’t need long reviews. It can be a simple Goodreads shelf.

  40. Allyzah

    I gave audiobooks a try a few months ago and decided to try a reading journal so that I keep reading / listening (spent the past few years only reading textbooks and scholarly journals, so I want to have For Fun books now lol). I have ~1.5hr each way commutes during the semesters… so I’m starting with Marathoner but giving myself space in the journal spread for more 🤞🏼

      • Rose NIKOLAUZYK

        Hi I would like to join but I don’t see my url code I use libby, hoopla, play books, kindle, the cloud library, my library, open library, and you tube where would I find the url code thanks for any help you can give me

        • Kimberly

          THE URL would be a page where you track how many audiobooks you finished. For example, you could use Goodreads and create a bookshelf called 2024 Audiobook Challenge. You would link that URL. Or you could link a social media account with a pinned post of audiobooks read.

  41. Melissa Bell

    Excited to join for my first year! I’m hoping to reach Socially Awkward!

  42. Jessica Lanier

    I went for Audiobook Addict last year, but I got a new job as a teacher which is taking up much of my time. I think I will be very happy to hit Marathoner in 2024.

  44. Erika

    I’m going for Over-Achiever :-D. I always get the audio and ebook of titles whenever possible so I can listen while I’m working or driving.

  45. Vanessa

    I think that I am going to go for Audibly Addicted this year. The majority of my reads these days are audiobooks.

    Good luck in 2024!

  46. TAMMY CUEVAS

    I’m going for the Stenographer level. I listen to Audiobooks while working.

  49. Lola

    Since halfway this year I’ve gotten back into the habit of listening to more audiobooks, so I might join this challenge next year again. Just have to decide what goal to set and make my sign up post.

  53. Sophia Rose

    This will be great! I love the challenge and have gone for one of the new higher goals. Looking forward to the mini-challenge, too. Thanks for hosting, Kimberly!

  55. Amanda

    I joined last year but lost momentum and never followed through. I am hoping to do better this year. I hope to match either marathoner or over-achiever. I also have a shelf on The StoryGraph. I like the visual aspects so much, but some things are more difficult.

  58. The Book Junkie Reads . . .

    I love this challenge each year. I reach new heights each time. I am very much looking forward to the new audios that I discover in the new year.

    My GOAL is Audibly Addicted (listening to all the books 24/7) 150+

    Thank you.

  59. Megan Riverina Romantics

    I was able to do 100 this year so I’m pretty sure that I’ll be able to do at least that in 2024. Maybe I’ll even try for the I Can’t Hear You level.
