Folks who love audiobooks tend to be fanatical about them. I know I am. Aside from the well-documented benefits of listening to books, one of the things I always talk about when selling the value of audiobooks to others is that it is very similar to listening to a podcast—something that so many people who would love audiobooks already do. You can listen in the car or on transit; you can pop in headphones to read while you’re doing chores around the house or getting a workout in; and/or you can simply relax in a comfortable space and listen to someone else tell you a story. If you’re someone who tracks your reading, audiobooks are a convenient way to simply get more reading and books into your everyday life (my deep belief is in the value of listening at speed, but so many readers enjoy the fact they can listen to audiobooks more quickly than they can read the book itself—to each their own!).

Audiobook listenership has also skyrocketed. Last year, the industry reported its 11th year of double-digit percentage growth in sales and noted that 53% of adults had listened to an audiobook at some point. That was up from 45% only a year prior. Spotify reported that since introducing audiobooks to their Premium memberships, 25% had engaged with them.

It should come as little surprise that celebrating audiobooks is on the rise, too. Find below a range of fun bookish finds for audiobook lovers. They include mugs, stickers, shirts, and so many other ways to show off a love for and support of all things audiobook.
