Let’s Talk Bookish: All About Audiobooks | 6/20/25 – Past Midnight Book Reviews & More

Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly bookish meme originally created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits, where every Friday, bloggers write discussion posts based on a weekly prompt and Dini @ dinipandareads has cohosted since the beginning of 2025.

This week’s topic is:

June 20: All About Audiobooks (Jillian @ Jillian the Bookish Butterfly)

Prompts: Do you like to read audiobooks? Where do you typically get audiobooks? Do you have any favorite narrators, or platforms for listening to them? Do you find it easy to access audiobooks, or can it be more challenging compared to ebooks and physical books?

**********

Do you like to read audiobooks?

I don’t love it. I could only get through 1 audiobook a year but now, 5 years later lol…I can now maybe do 1 audiobook a month! Or every other month which is a real improvement.

Where do you typically get audiobooks? Do you have any favorite narrators, or platforms for listening to them?

I get them from Libby. I don’t have any favorite narrators yet. And I usually listen to them on my Libby app on my phone.

Do you find it easy to access audiobooks, or can it be more challenging compared to ebooks and physical books?

I’m not always seeking them out but I do find that sometimes the selection on Libby is limited. But I don’t want to pay for audiobooks since that’s my least favorite way of reading and would never re-listen to a book.

June Topics:

~~June 2: Pride Month Book Recs!~~

Prompts: Happy Pride Month! To celebrate, we’d love to hear about your favourite LGBTQIA+ books, why you love them, and what books you’d recommend for a summer Pride reading list. Are there any new releases you’re looking forward to reading this Pride Month?

June 13: Traveling for Literature

Prompts: Many books are inspired by real-life settings. Have you ever visited places inspired by books you’ve read? What places are on your bucketlist? If you could visit any fictional setting come to life, where would you go?

Going from 1 a year to 1 a month is a massive improvement! I struggled a lot too with audiobooks at the start (and have always been in awe of readers who blow through them so quickly while doing other things!) but I’ve also slowly started to find my groove this year. Listening to them at the gym surprisingly makes me look forward to going now 😂 Thanks for joining LTB this week!
