Finish a book that you started and abandoned (at least one month previously) in a different format. For the purposes of this challenge, all e-readers are considered the same format and all audio platforms are considered the same format. Generally speaking, ink-and-paper books would all be considered the same format, but prose and graphic novel would be considered different formats.

Mary Arkless | 153 comments I started this book in hardback, way back when Barack Obama first became a serious contender for the office of US President. I thought I should learn more about this person. I never finished it. I decided to give it a go as an audiobook for this prompt.
 
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream by Barack Obama, narrated by the author.

Maybe I should try audio for that one. I really want to read it, and I started it in 2012, but I always find political books daunting.

I'm claiming 2 points for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I bought a new copy when the movie came out, and I started reading it again but got distracted. I needed an audiobook for a road trip, so I borrowed the CDs from the library. I think I like this book better every time I read it!
