For the Pursuit of Knowledge & Excellence

How Audiobooks Removed my Personal Reading Guilt

I get so much personal guilt when I don’t read. It feeds my soul, and when I don’t take that time, it feels like I’m not taking care of myself because I’m not checking that off my list. If you’re also looking to feed your soul, you can access a massive library of audiobooks, podcasts, and original content with Audible Plus! With this subscription service, you’ll access thousands of titles from best-selling authors, exclusive podcasts, and much more. Audible Plus is how we get through so many books in a month, and we hope we can help you hit your book goals, too. 

Hey, what’s up, I’m Ashley Poplin. My husband, Alex, and I decided we were tired of living in the societal matrix. We quit our jobs and moved to our dream location in the beautiful mountains of North Georgia. Now, we pursue knowledge and excellence in everything we do. Come along with us and enjoy our Poplin Pursuits.

Audible Plus

Listen, Audible Plus is the perfect solution for anyone who loves to read but struggles to find the time. 

Audible Plus also offers exclusive content that you won’t find anywhere else. There’s always something new and exciting to discover, from original podcasts to exclusive audiobooks. With a free trial, you can try Audible Plus for yourself and see how much you love it.

Why it works for me

I’m an English Major and used to sit down and read about… 10 books a week. My library book bag was a gym duffle to give you a better idea of my habit. Fast forward to today… two kids under two, a blog, two businesses with my husband, and oh ya, that guy, plus house maintenance, I can hardly find time to do anything. 

It wasn’t until this year that I started to use Audible, and I’m extremely happy with it. 

With audiobooks, you can listen while commuting, exercising, or even doing household chores. Plus, with the ability to download titles for offline listening, you’ll always have something to listen to. 

It grounds me. It’s removed the personal guilt that I haven’t been able to get through a book. It’s changed to I finished four books this month while doing the dishes, walking, and changing diapers. 

This post is a huge sales pitch, but I wish someone had pushed this hard to get me to listen to audiobooks before. Is it the same as reading a book? No. But it feels a lot better than not reading any content at all. 

Here are some of my favorite audiobook titles I’ve read so far:

Felicia Day’s You’re Never Weird On The Internet (Almost)

Critical Role’s The Nine Eyes of Lucien

J.k. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

Gabrielle Bernstein’s How to Release Anxiety

There are so many more.

A few that are on my TBR list…

Night by Ellie Weisel

Dolly Parton, Songteller by Dolly Parton

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Bottom Line is, Audible Plus is great, and you don’t have to take my word for it.

Here’s a link for a free trial!
