160: Chs 1-3 - Persuasion

Today we start Persuasion! (Let the rejoicing begin!) Our Librivox version is read by (the really quite excellent) Karen Savage. Chapters 1-3 and not much else except...we say a hearty "WHOOT!" to Rachael Herron (you probably know her as Yarn-a-go-go) on the eve of her very first book release! Very exciting stuff. You can pick it up at your local bookstore, Target, and the ubiquitous online book venues. And if you're looking to expand your crafty blog horizon, may I recommend two of Rachael's other venues? Pens Fatales and Romancing the Yarn. Here's a link to an excerpt from How to Knit a Love Song, Rachel's new book--the first in a series. Oh, and most importantly: Librivox needs our help. Even if you can't donate, please put a link back to their page on your blogs. They do so much for us.
