There are mixed reviews when it comes to Audible. Before we dive into the Audible review let me explain what Audible is and how it works. Do you love to read or wish you had more time to read? Audible is a subscription that Amazon offers where you can enjoy a large variety of audiobooks with over 500,000 titles. Audible also includes a wide range of content besides books it also includes podcasts, guided wellness, and audible originals. It sets the standard for all audiobook apps.
I am writing this Audible review as someone who actively uses it and has for many years. It has given me the ability to re-read and discover so many books that I would never find no matter how many hours I spent in the bookstores. I will admit I never listened to an audiobook before Audible and became instantly addicted to it. Although I am a huge advocate of reading books as a busy working mom I do not have much time to do so which is where Audible comes in.

Final Thoughts
Is it worth it? Well I will leave that for you to decide. It is worth trying especially since they have a 30 day free. Personally I love it, I get to read books more often, discovered some great podcasts and get to listen to exclusive audible originals. This app has opened me up to so many books that I would of never discovered in a library or a book store. What is your favorite genre to read? Do you have a favorite book?
