2026 Audiobook Challenge
Caffeinated Reviewer & That’s What I’m Talking About
Runs January 1, 2026–December 31, 2026. 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 2026 than you did in 2025
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 take part; you can track your progress on Goodreads, Facebook, etc. I recommend creating a shelf on Goodreads titled 2026 Audiobook Challenge. You can keep track of and link to the shelf
