The Audiobook Challenge is designed to not only help you to read your audiobooks, but to also find out about other great audiobooks from other challenge participants!
Though you may pop in/out at any time, the Audiobook Challenge will run on a monthly basis so you are able to see progress being made.
There are no minimum page requirements, and you can read abridged or unabridged audiobooks!
1. At the beginning of the month, post :
a: How many audiobooks in total you want to read for the month
b: How many audiobooks in the monthly category you want to read
c: Post the audiobooks (as you decide on them) by linking them to Goodreads in your post
2. During the month, read the audiobooks that you can AND update your post with your reviews. (You can do this after each book or wait until the end of the month.)
3. At the end of the month, update your post and with:
a: What books you read
b: Link(s) to your review(s) - note: can only be linked to Goodreads and not an external site
c: How many audiobooks you have read for this challenge this year
Then start a new post for the next month!

MY MONTHLY RECOMMENDATION (and why)
In category
What You Are Looking For Is in the LibraryFive tales built around one library that focuses on a change in perspectives, how information and understanding can affect how you interact with the world. Also five lives trying to struggle with changes to their lifestyle or their understanding of their own lives and how that can change their entire outlook or behaviours. A thought provoking story that I actually enjoyed far more than expected and now want to read again.
Out of category
The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride This one is a slow burner that will really hit you with the heart wrenching squeeze at the very end. Tissues will be needed!
It is a beautiful tale, that makes you think more about your life and also the interconnected relationships as well as how they can impact every decision going forward. A story of one that revolves around many. How perceptions can be changed and how people can hide from what they are scared of.

Hah! Just realised, the print books I've read this past week have been all over the scale, but the audios have all been 3 stars. I'm not sure that's a coincidence.I'm starting to feel like I need a break from them. Great timing with a team challenge coming up! 😆
