2020 Audiobook Challenge

The Audiobook Challenge is back for 2020! I’ll be joining Hot Listens and Caffeinated Reviewer for the 8th year of this challenge. I’m going for Marathoner again as I listen to more audiobooks than I read these days!

Challenge Details

• Runs January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2020. You can join at anytime.

• Books must be in audio format (CD, MP3, etc.)
