Audiobook challenge!

2 Comments

Bewitched Bookworms are offering an audiobook challenge that sounds truly challenging — and I’m signing up.

Here is a synopsis of the guidelines:
Should you choose to participate in this challenge, your goal is to read at least twelve (12) audiobooks (no matter the length). Twelve is the minimum to be entered in the Grand Prize at the end of the Year.

When you post your Review you have to say that you listened to the audiobook version of the book, who was the narrator, the length of time the audiobook ran and your separate rating/impression for the audiobook (how you liked the narration of the story beyond what you thought of the story itself).

The challenge runs from January 1st to December 31st, 2011. You can join at anytime you want! It doesn’t matter what audiobook you are listening to,
no matter the genre or the length!
100 hours: Whispering My Love
200 hours: Can’t Keep Quiet
300 hours: Singing It From The Mountain Tops
400 hours: Megaphone Shout


I’m going to sign up for the 100-hour level, because honestly I’m clueless about the number of hours of audiobooks I listen to each year.
I’m looking forward to this challenge!

    Thanks for joining!! About the hours, I just happen to know that since most audiobooks I listen on my iPhone and it has an app that keeps track on the hours, and I thought it would be fun to go with hours instead of books. :))

    100 should be a lill more than 12 full audiobooks with average 9 hours length.
