Audiobooks are great I don’t like them bc I can’t focus so I read but my fiance listens to the books I read and we get to have a little book club 💖

If I was listening to an audiobook and someone asked me what I’m doing, I wouldn’t say I was reading. But books consumed via audiobook absolutely count as books read, if that makes sense

I think they mean to suggest that it doesn’t count as reading.
