also a former huge reader who struggles to read nowadays. i started listening to audiobooks on spotify and itās been a game changer for me. i never thought id be an audiobook enjoyer, but i do love podcasts and being able to consume media passively while doing other things.

something unlocked in me when I started getting into audiobooks! I put them on while I drive, fold laundry, cook, etc and now I canāt stop - my favorites recently have been nonfiction/related to current events so in a way it feels very much like a podcast substitute but with a longer runtime. Iād recommend to anyone whoās been struggling with attention/trying to make it through a physical book, itās like an easier alternative to sitting still that still allows you to grow your brain/expand those reading comprehension skills! Libby has free audiobooks with a library card, Spotify premium also includes certain audiobooks and there are plenty of other resources online

I love reading but never saw myself as an audiobook girl. I also listen to so many podcasts (which I loveā¦) that entertain me but donāt teach me things. Working on focusing my energy towards learning more, reading more! Might as well if I always have headphones in. This is a new development but Iāve already found myself eager to listen to new books I typically wouldnāt buy or grab from the library!
also: if you donāt have the Libby app and a library card, change that immediately. imagine paying $20 for a book you only listen to!!!!

after a hours-long battle with 3 different spotify customer service reps, i finally have access to audiobooks on spotify and thatās a whole new world. i like listening memoirs the best since theyāre the most similar to a podcast or just someone talking about themselves.
also you get to sound cool and different when the trader joeās cashier asks what youāre listening to.
