2014 Audiobook Challenge

This year I’m joining The Book Nympho and Hot Listens’ Audiobook Challenge at the My Precious level which is 30+ audiobooks. My personal goal for 2014 is a total of 101 books read with at least 50 being audiobooks, so this challenge should definitely help keep me motivated to reach my personal reading goal! I’m looking forward to getting started on several audiobooks that I already have. These are some of the ones I plan to start with:

1. The Darkest Minds by Alexandria Bracken

2. Legend by Marie Lu

3. Reign of Blood by Alexia Purdy

4. A Matter of Days by Amber Kizer

5. The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd

Have you read any of these in ebook or audio? Let me know what you thought of them! Will you be participating in this challenge? Which audiobooks are you listening to this year?

Whisper Stories in My Ear 2011 Audio Book Challenge

As I'm sure I've stated many times before, listening to audio books has been my preferred way to read ever since listening to the Harry Potter series read by Stephen Fry. I find it to be so relaxing after working my regular 9-5 to relax with an audio book. I listen while laying in bed, while in the tub, while sitting at my computer playing Zuma. Stephen Fry is just one of the amazing narrators I've enjoyed, some other of my favorite narrators have been Tavia Gilbert who does such an incredible job with Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series, Bahni Turpin who brings Stacia Kane's Downside series to life, and of course Neil Gaiman's own narration of his novel The Graveyard Book. 

So all of this being said, I am excited to join Bewitched Bookworms 2011 Audio Book Challenge and hope that many of you join me. I would love to see even more audio book reviews around the book blogs. If you're interested, head on over to Bewitched Bookworms and link up. There's plenty of prizes to be had throughout the year as well as being able to share our reviews with one another! I look forward to having fun with this challenge. I don't have my list ready yet, but I will update this post later with my potential 2011 audio reading list.
