June is Audiobook Appreciation Month, so let's settle this once and for all:⁠
⁠
🎧 Audiobooks count as reading.⁠
⁠
Whether you're listening on a walk, during your commute, while cooking dinner, or relaxing at home, you're still experiencing a story, learning something new, and connecting with books.⁠
⁠
So tell us: Where's your favorite place to listen to an audiobook?⁠
⁠
And what should we add to our listening list?⁠
