Hello Audiophiles, it’s time to sign up for the 2025 Audiobook Challenge, hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer and That’s What I’m Talking About.
Choose your level and get those audiobooks ready. JIAM is back for June and we’ll be hosting a special month long challenge. Grab your earbuds, decide on your goals, and sign up below!
Use hashtag #2025AudiobookChallenge on social media to alert others to your listens and progress!
Current 2024 audio challengers, the last check-in will be December 28th. You’ll have 7 days to link up and share your results.
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

I will enter Kimberly but won’t be able to write my post and link to yours before January! I am packed full with posts for my best reads of 2024! Or A solution would be to include it in a Sunday post!
Kimberly
No worries at all, Sophie. You can post in the new year.
Jennifer
I’m definitely going to Audibly Addicted as I can listen to audio books at work. This year, it’s well over 200!
Kimberly

Thank you for hosting. I’m debating. I love and read audiobooks obviously I’m just not sure I have the head space for more challenges.
