Stick a Book In Your Ear

It occured to me that you haven't a clue what beauty awaits you in "The Canterville Ghost"! This was subscriber-only audio which now lives in the Shoppe. It's such a hidden gem of Oscar Wilde's I started to feel bad that more of you didn't know how fantastic is is. So. Here! This is most of the first bit. There are three parts which make up the whole book. If you want it, you can get it here. The Age of Innocence starts June 28, 2013. In my effort to be more efficient, I've also created two emai...

Some good blogs to check out (from SOAR attendees: Rachael Herron, Janine Bajus, and Brooke Sinnes, oh, and Stephanie...I think you know her); a really cool listener's site (Spinneret) regarding My Friend Irving; some pics (scroll down) and some detritus that I need to get out to you (below). A good Challah recipe. Heal the world through cooling! and a nice Jewish crafting guild (just in cast you thought they didn't exist!)... The Red Thread Project! How cool is this! And some stuff I found but ...

Sleepy Hollow, part 3! Book talk begins at 22:20. Listen to 28 audio. Apologies! The original audio to this show was recorded—I believe—as my mic was dying. I've tried to remaster the hiss out, but couldn't get it all. However, the entire "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" has been re-recorded and remastered and, along with a few other Halloweenie kinds of stories, appears in the Crafting-a-Life Shoppe. I think I promised you pics of a skull jacket that I knit. I forgot to mention that my 17 hou...

Sleepy Hollow, part 2! Book talk begins at 15:50. Listen to 27 audio. The entire "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" has been re-recorded and remastered and, along with a few other Halloweenie kinds of stories, appears in the Crafting-a-Life Shoppe. Skeeter Syndrome, and why I hate researchers...well...not hate...but really strongly prefer the applied sciences... Allergic reaction to mosquito bites identified for first time—"skeeter syndrome" MILWAUKEE—Bug bites are a standard annoyance for th...

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow part 1. Book talk begins at 15:20. Download 26 audio. Learn the origins of the name "Tarrytown" as you listen to Geoffrey Crayon's Sketchbook. You should also check out Diedrich Knickerbocker's History of New York! Meet my man Irving (aka "Mr. Knickerbocker"...). And his spectacularly (self-)designed home on the Hudson. Someday, please plan to take advantage of the Legend. Imagine yourself as part of the Hudson River School —which I had no time to talk ...

Book talk begins at 15.08. Listen to 25 audio. Yeah, But it's a Dry Heat, Right? Don't try this at home--eye-scraping dry eye! EW! This week! Beauty and the Beast. No, not this one Or this one This one! (sort of...) By the woman with the long French name (that would be Jeanne Marie Le Prince de Beaumont). And, more on Bettleheim and Kohlberg...and a world lit only by fire. And, drum roll...the Faroese as it stands now... Soon, there will be an updated pic for that too. Thanks to Tina fo...

This week we listen to "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gillman, and a little bit of "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster. Gillman (here she is) is a particular favorite of mine. She wrote Herland which I'm (slowly) reading for Librivox. Great little book! Juster is a freakin' genius. Really! I can't read nearly as much of his book as I'd like, but (here HE is) I will introduce you to this decidedly not just-for-children book. Thanks for your patience getting this 'cast out....
