The audiobook challenge is mainly hosted by Kimberly at Caffeinated Reviewer and this time it will be the 7th year in a row that they are doing the challenge. And since I can use titles, I haven´t heard yet, but on my audiobook TBR for what feels like ages now, I thought why not join in and see how far I´ll come? Me and audiobooks, well, that´s a story that IS actually NO story. Or better said, it is an on/off kinda thing that I have going on for years now.

The audiobook challenge is hosted by Kimberly at Caffeinated Reviewer and Hot Listens.

Years ago, I signed up with the then young and independent company audible (had nothing to do with the big retailer it is owned by now), only because I was curious, and they were offering a device too with the membership. Yup, you guessed it right, I needed the device to be able to listen to the audiobooks I was buying with the credits I got every month.

I do have quite a mountain of audiobooks though, mostly unheard, since the company offers from time to time a cheaper membership that is affordable for every purse. But I have barely time to listen to them, except when I go power-walking or am on my way to the grocery store. But at home, while doing my household? No chance. And shortly before sleeping no good idea either.

Despite that, I got some great audios from authors I love, and because of them and the ones I own since ages, I am signing up to try this challenge and see what happens.

I am aiming for the


Newbie, I´ll give it a try with 1-5 titles.
