I have started listening to CraftLit podcast. Crafts are spoken of and stores are read to us. Currently, we are listening to Little women, I still own it, I just don’t know where it is exactly. I only started listening a month ago but felt that I should at least start at the beginning of Little women to see if I liked the reading style or even the book. I am getting into the book, but I was under the impression that the podcast author was reading the story, not so. It is the version posted at Librivox. There are pros and cons about that. The easiest two are free and it’s already in electronic format. The con, it’s free, no one was paid to record it, nor was quality proofed. There are some chapters that are redone as the CraftLit author determines it’s necessary, I think that’s an interesting idea. I am getting a sense for “voice” readings, where each character needs a unique way of reading. I need to listen faster as new episodes are rolling in and I’m still on the older ones.

I also started reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. The story is a “fable about following your dreams”.
