The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

10.3 - Listen Up

October 30 is World Audio Drama Day. The anniversary of the broadcast of “War of the Worlds” is “the perfect time to sit back and enjoy a terrifying audio tale.”
Read a book that has won or been nominated (a finalist) for an Audie Award, an award recognizing distinction in audiobooks and spoken word entertainment. The book may be read in any format; audio not required. The award must be present on the book's GR main page.
Note: Audiobooks that do not have a written word equivalent, either published in paper or digitally, may NOT be used for SRC tasks.

If the award designation is missing from the Goodreads record you may request an update in anyone with librarian status

I assume we can choose to READ the text version of an audiobook ...

Or do we have to listen to the audio?
