Each book must fit one of the three following criteria:
1. Under 12 hours or over 15 hours in length.
2. New (in audio) to you author or narrator - you may have read the author before but this is the first book you have listened to or a new to you narrator.
3. Favorite author or narrator - you must have listened to at least one book by the author and rated it highly or enjoyed at least one book the narrator has done before.
To Finish: Three steps - Rate the book, Rate the Narrator and Rate the Experience.
1. Give a rating to each book using Goodreads five star system.
2. Rate the narrator using Goodreads five star system.
3. Rate your listening experience:

A. The book was a better experience in audio - the narrator improved the story for you. You can't imagine just reading the book.
B. Eh, could take or leave the audio. The narrator didn't add anything for you, but wasn't bad either. You could listen or read, doesn't matter.
C. Blech, the narrator ruined the experience for you. There was something that pulled you out of the story or distracted you enough that you would not consider listening again - that would be a read only experience in the future.

Rules/Guidelines:
Rereads/listens are acceptable.
You may use any author and/or narrator multiple times if desired.
There is no length requirement.
You must listen to at least 80% of the book to use if for this challenge
If the third option for a level, reading from only two genres is chosen, this of course means that the third genre cannot be used.
Some books may seem to be in two genres. You should choose the genre that fits the books best. For example, Kresley Cole's IAD or JR Ward's BDB series are primarily PNR that happens to be in a contemporary setting - choose paranormal. On the other hand, Molly Harper's Naked Werewolf books are set in the current times with many normal people and happens to have werewolves in them - you could choose either contemporary or paranormal. Basically if they are evenly balanced you can choose either, but if it is heavily weighted to one side you should choose that one. Other examples of those that could fit more than one genre could include several of Nora Roberts trilogies (contemporary and paranormal), Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series (paranormal and historical), Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series (contemporary, historical and paranormal).
When posting your progress, please include the book, the narrator, which criteria it fits, the date you finished the audiobook and your ratings. Examples below.
If you finish your challenge, you can move up to the next level. If you finish the last level (Jack Bauer's Back) and wish to continue you will need to start over at the beginning again. You may also start over with a new level after completing one level if you wish to switch options.
Please repost your progress rather than updating! If you would rather update your post, please make a separate post with your progress and mention of where your progress is located or a link. Otherwise, I am likely to miss your status and I won't be able to update the stats.
Happy Listening!!
