Great video - I hope you enjoy your book choices. You know, I've yet to read Anne of Green Gables. Happy new year - I hope it is full of wonderful reads.
I love your accent Kathryn. And how fun to make a vlog of your first book. It sounds great! Hope you love your first book and that you have a wonderful reading year in 2017!
Thanks for sharing...your First Book looks tempting...and I also love how you included the Anne of Green Gables book...I have a few of those for reread.
Happy New Year Kathryn!!! I love your video...kudos to you for doing that! Your book choice sounds amazing and I will definitely be adding it to my list...and your first audio is an absolute favorite of mine! I love, love, love the Anne of Greene Gables series and have listened to the first few books on audio recently, too. I think my first audio is going to be Lucinda Riley's newest book, The Shadow Sister, the latest in her Seven Sisters series. It's not out in print in the US yet, but I can get the audio via Audible and I've been listening to the series anyway.
Happy New Year Kathryn! It is great seeing and hearing you. I enjoyed your video. I love your first book as well. I haven't read it, but love the author's writing. I read The Edge of Lost as well as two other works by McMorris. I will look forward to reading your thoughts on your selection.
I love your video! Your accent is just lovely and I love your choices. I'd really love to read more historical fiction this year and I've been wanting to do the audio book for Anne of Green Gables. It's one of my favorite stories and I imagine it'd be wonderful in audio. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Love the video. Very creative! I hope you enjoy the books. Bridge of Scarlet Leaves is on my TBR list. Looking forward to reading your thoughts on it.
You made me laugh out loud. I know! Some of them fell in an earthquake we had a month or so back!! I think I'll just build a new bookcase and keep on with a slow pace!!
Kathryn- What a great job on your "podcast" (is that what it's called)? Well Done! Sounds like a good book too. I'm with you - I always have an audio book going but I didn't really plan a first one for 2017. I have a copy of Anne of Green Gables on the shelf next to me - bought while I was in Halifax a couple of years back. I think I may have it on audio too. I should listen/read as it has been years. Hope you really enjoy your first books and have a grand 2017!
Oh wow how did I miss this video. Loved it!!! Am so glad I put you on to Kristina McMorris, I loved Bridge of Scarlet Leaves. I don't know if you saw my Q&A w/Kristina way back in 2012 when she first published it-http://thereadingfrenzy.blogspot.com/2012/02/q-wkristina-mcmorris-and-review-of.html
Don't miss The Pieces We Keep her 2013 release it was hauntingly good too, here's the link to that interview/review too-http://thereadingfrenzy.blogspot.com/2013/12/author-interview-review-kristina.html
Thanks for the great shout out of my review and I'm so happy that you and I are blogger friends. Happy New Year Kathryn hope 2017 is the best ever!!! xoxo
I don't know how I missed this video Kathryn, but I loved it! So creative. Looking forward to what you think about the book. As the New Year began I was smack dab in the middle of a couple of audios.
Happy new Year, and hope that it's a fabulous first book of the year!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Katherine. Yes am enjoying Anne on audio. There were so many recordings of the book it was hard to choose.

Thanks Darlene. Off to find out about yours.
DeleteAh, someone is getting creative here-- loved it! Great job, and it helps that you're reading something I want to read 😊
ReplyDeleteBut wait... if you don't pick up the pace with your reading, looks like your TBR pile on top of the bookcase will topple over!
You made me laugh out loud. I know! Some of them fell in an earthquake we had a month or so back!! I think I'll just build a new bookcase and keep on with a slow pace!!

I did see your interview, was part of my decision making! I will make The Pieces We Keep the next one I read of hers.

ReplyDeleteThanks Nise. I was lucky in mine sort of came to an end at the end of the year so that made me thing about which audiobook then.
