How to Participate: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

EXAMPLE : (under spoiler)(view spoiler)
~ Monthly Audiobook Challenge ~
Each month we will have a different theme of audiobook for you to listen to.
Read one, two, three, or thirty. Up to you! Just post at the start of the month which books you will read in the category, update through the month and post a link to your Goodreads review (no links to external sites).
Let's find some great audiobooks together!
Duration: Monthly
February 2023 Theme:
◈ Audiobooks between 3 - 5 Hours
FYI - a new monster wheel, Asian Monsters has been posted.Any wheel can be used to get your initial 5 monsters or a replacement.
A new tab was also added to the Master List of Tasks spreadsheet for the Asian monsters.
Monsters aren't just spun from tales recorded by Homer, but from all corners of the world. Look to the East to find new nightmares to haunt your sleep.
Remember, you can spin for monsters from any wheel, just no more than 5 monsters at a time. The tasks are in the Master List of Tasks spreadsheet on the tab labeled Asian Monsters.

*A big thank you to Lexi for the heavy lifting for the monsters and tasks! It's appreciated :)

Kylie wrote: "Is there anyway i can change the task i picked for the book after i already logged it on the spreadsheet?"We haven't stipulated that books are locked once logged, so you can change your task number by changing the drop down in column A and the reasoning
Spreadsheets have been created and shared up to here! Enjoy!
We have an update to the mazes! If you would like to take part please follow the instructions below. If you have finished your maze and would like another go, just create your own!
To enter your maze go to https://maze.meic.dev/ and press create an account in the top right corner. The access code is NBRC2023.
Once you have done this, there will be a blue button in the centre to create a maze. Pick your maze size (10x10 is standard and has been well tested) and difficulty (description above).
Any problems please either post here or message the Mod account (or Sophie directly).
