Listen Up! Audiobooks Count as Reading
from The Nurturing Librarian · host Nicole Klett
Audiobooks have transformed from a cumbersome CD-based format to a convenient digital option available on various platforms. The Nurturing Librarian Podcast argues that audiobooks are as valid a form of reading as physical books and discusses how they align perfectly with self-care routines. Finding time to read in a busy life can be challenging, but audiobooks, accessed via services like Libro FM, Spotify and your local library offer an adaptable way to engage with literature. They integrate seamlessly into daily tasks such as commuting, exercising, or even grocery shopping, making them an invaluable tool for mental relaxation and enjoyment.****Book News and RecsThe Adventures of Amina al-SirafiJust for the SummerThe Life ImpossibleUntamedThe Kiss Countdown****Resources Libro.fmGraphic AudioWe Need Diverse Books April 3rd Read Diverse Books DayConnect with me on Insta, Blue Sky, LinkedIn, Storygraph at The Nurturing Librarian****Looking for more book recs?
