The 2025 Audiobook Challenge! #2025 AudiobookChallenge @caffeinatedreviewer @jentwimom.bsky.social

We’re getting close to starting a new year and I’ve been considering which challenges to participate in this year. I successfully completed the 2024 Audiobook Challenge and now want to try and complete the 2025 Audiobook Challenge. Once again it is hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer & That’s What I’m Talking About . Let me tell you all about it!

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 or X, 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.
• Use hashtag #2025AudiobookChallenge on social media to alert others to your listens and progress!

Achievement Levels:

• Newbie (I’ll give it a try) 1-5
• Weekend Warrior (I’m getting the hang of this) 5-10
• Stenographer (can listen while multi-tasking) 10-15
• Socially Awkward (Don’t talk to me) 15-20
• Binge Listener (Why read when someone can do it for you) 20-30
• My Precious (I had my earbuds surgically implanted) 30+
• Marathoner (Look Ma No Hands) 50+
• Over-Achiever (Power Listener) 75+
• The 100 Club (Audiobook Elite) 100+
• I Can’t Hear You (earbuds always in) 125-150
• Audibly Addicted (listening to all the books 24/7) 150+

My Challenge Goal:

I’ve chosen the Marathoner level of 50+ Audiobooks in 2025. This challenge will tie in nicely with other year-long challenges I’m participating in. You can track the books contributing to my challenge by clicking on the 2025 Audiobook Challenge category label above each title of the books I review for this challenge.
