Listening via Spotify audio book. I can see why it’s so well acclaimed. Very enjoyable so far! Also my first audio book…it feels a bit like cheating. :)

Does listening to an audio book count as reading a book? I have a friend who will die on this mountain, that NO it does not count. But, research says that listening to a book vs. reading a book stimulates the same areas of the brain. What's your take? I feel like it should count but it should be disclosed whether it was READ or LISTENED to. :)
