TARP Readers discussion

How are you all tracking your audio books? I spend a lot of time in my car and have taken to listening to audio books on audible but I am not sure if I should be tracking them here or not? But I like to review them as well.

I think you should track them here! some people with visual or reading difficulties don't have a choice and use audiobooks and it's the only way they will "read" books! it is still valid and it counts. but that's just my opinion. haha. i don't listen to audiobooks often but if I did I would track them here.

I listen to audio books and read. I had this big debate when I started tracking on here. After I saw comments on Instagram on videos of people saying their book count for the year where people said audiobooks didn’t count. There were plenty of arguments back to those comments that they do count though. I have started to think of it all as “consuming books” so it counts whether you listen or physically read!

I track all my reading on story graph. It gives the option to select if you're listening to an Audio version of a book. It still counts towards your daily streak but it's recorded as a separate stat. So I can see how many hours I've listened to

I use audible to actually listen and "track" how many hours etc, but I log audiobooks on here. Imo like others said, it counts as a book being "read" regardless of the format. I have used storygraph recently but couldn't get used to it and it felt like a lot of effort to use instead of here, not sure if thats the same experience other people have had? I try to record them here as the audiobook version, but sometimes I choose the edition that just has the cover I prefer!

Although I still use Goodreads, I mainly use Bookmory to track, especially audiobooks. I find the layout is a lot nicer and I really enjoy the daily tracking goal feature.

I've been listening to audio books for years now. And I totally agree that they should be tracked the same way as reading a book.
However I've now decided to move away from audible, so I switched to Libro.fm. Still trying it out though.
