Audiobook Challenge 2021

Hello fellow bookworms. Welcome to my Audiobook Challenge 2021 page!

I joined in with this challenge last year and surprised myself by logging 39 audio listens! I’m now loving the audiobook experience so much that I’m actually thinking of switching from eBooks. (Hoping it will help reduce the number of ocular migraines I get too. 🤷‍♀️ )

The lovely Kimberly @ Caffeinated Reviewer co-hosts this annual Audiobook Challenge with Jen @ That’s What I’m Talking About and this page will track my progress towards my goal.

If you’re taking part in this challenge, I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment at the bottom of the page.

Finally, I’m linking my reviews for the audiobooks that I listen to as part of this challenge as they’re published here on my blog. Click on the book title to read it and you’ll be whisked away to a new tab. 😉
