Whenever I meet someone new and the conversation invariably turns to our occupations, I say that I review books for a living, and ask what they like to read. Just as often, the person will hem and haw a bit before sheepishly declaring that they "don't really read"--they listen to audiobooks. And I apologize to every single one of them on behalf of whoever made them feel like listening to an audiobook doesn't qualify as reading, because that is, to put a fine point on it, hogwash.
Audiobooks are absolutely and undeniably valid in a book lover's diet. This shouldn't be controversial. I enjoy them on long car rides and during my commutes and while I clean the house. It's why we include LibroFM links alongside our reviews in this newsletter. Read what you love, via the medium you love best.
