I’m on day 3 of a horrible flu not unlike your own, and your voice is just the right amount of smoothness as to not be grating in any way. It helps while away the awful hours of being unable to sleep or focus on reading or TV, distracting me from my symptoms and transporting me to the world in the story. I’ve always appreciated your readings, never more than now. Thank you so much for your efforts, and I hope you’ve recovered from your flu by now!

Thank you so much, Brian. Still recovering, very slowly. Bleah!

Hi Minta, thank you for the well-wishes! And yes, the Little House books are at the top of my rather long list — as soon as I finish The Return of the King. :)

I sort of lost you for a while, but just re-found you, & am thrilled. I didn’t realize you had a blog!

I’m so sorry you’ve had such a slog of nasty illnesses! If you lived a little closer, I’d be over in a flash w/my mom’s version of vegetable-noodle soup & my homemade bread, but alas, we live in NE Florida (Amelia Island), which is a leetle bit of a trek from you.

On a roadtrip, recently, my husband & I listened to a cd version of a Little House book. I am trying to get my husband to read them all; he’s in an MFA program for creative writing, & I think LIW’s descriptive “powers” are something to be admired, as well as her ability to “grow” her books along w/her character. Anyway, I hated the narration so very much (I’m sure the narrator is a lovely person & is perfect for other books…), that she really ruined the reading for me, & perhaps the whole book for my husband! My immediate thought, upon hearing her turn Pa into a hick, was, “Kayray should read these books. She’d have the perfect “voice” – in all the ways that word can be used.”

Would you please consider the series? Please???? ☺️

Thank you so very much, again, for helping me through a tough, tough time. I hope you feel 100% STAT, & have a very, very Merry Christmas.

Brian
