2014 YA Audiobook Challenge – Sign Up!

I hope you join us this year for the 2014 YA Audiobook Challenge (#YAAC). I just realized today that though I updated the challenge’s page, I hadn’t posted about sign ups being open, doh! Oh well, here it is. First things first, many thanks to Jessi of Digital Simplicity for designing this year’s button! Secondly, I’ve listed information about the challenge below, but for more details, including resources and tips, please visit the YA Audiobook Challenge page.

The Goal:

Choose a level below that will challenge you, and listen to and review the amount of audiobooks required for that level. To complete this challenge, you must listen and review a minimum of 12 audiobooks (released any year) of the YA (or MG) genre in 2014. Discuss the challenge via social media using the #YAAC hashtag!

Easy Listening
Listen to and review 12 audiobooks.

Rock’n Out
Listen to and review 24 audiobooks.

Head Bang’n
 Listen to 36+ audiobooks, and review at least 24 of them.

Mosh Pit
Listen to 48+ audiobooks, and review at least 36 of them.

Why should I join this challenge?

Because audiobooks rock! Listening to a book while doing chores or mundane tasks somehow makes them easier or at least not so bad, and they make hours in the car fly by… If you haven’t given audiobooks a try, use this challenge as motivation to do so!

What audiobooks count towards the YAAC?

Any young adult (or MG) audiobook! It doesn’t matter what year it was published. If you can’t tell, we’re pretty relaxed around here.

What are the requirements?

• Listen to and review at least 12 YA audiobooks (Easy Listening level) in between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014
• Reviews should include the length of the audiobook, name of narrator(s), and include your opinion of the narrator(s)/production as well as the novel.
• Review the audiobooks on either your blog, Goodreads, Amazon, or Audible, and then link them up here.
• There will be a linky open here each month to link up your reviews.
• Declare yourself a challenge participant (blog post/facebook/twitter) and sign up in the linky below! 
• HAVE FUN 🙂

Prizes:

There will be at least one giveaway at the end of the year, and each linked review counts as an entry! There’s potential for more giveaways through-out the year, and instructions will be posted with any additional giveaways.
