2026 Audiobook Challenge

2026 Audiobook Challenge

I’m signing up for the 2026 Audiobook Challenge! Thanks to the 2025 challenge, I listened to more audiobooks last year (although I didn’t review most of them.) This challenge encourages me to keep listening, and I appreciate Kimberly (the Caffeinated Reviewer) and the team at That’s What I’m Talking About so much for hosting this challenge!

Challenge Details

• 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.
• 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 4, 2026, and the last update will take place on December 26, 2026. You’ll have one week to link up and share your progress and enter giveaway.

I’m signing up at the Stenographer level (can listen while multitasking) —10 to 15 audiobooks. That should be a manageable number. My goal is both to read them and review them, since writing and posting reviews is usually where I fail my challenges. Listening to 10-15 books shouldn’t be a problem, because I’ll be working on the house a lot this year. I just hope I can find time to write the reviews!
