Talking Books, March 2012
I just finished narrating "Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon" by Donna Andrews, and have begun reading "Alpine Vendetta" by Mary Daheim.
Ms. Daheim apparently found out we're narrating her books, and sent over a passel of 'em ... including some large print versions for the sight-impaired section. (We're for the Blind and Visually Impaired, so it's a pretty big section.) I think that's pretty nifty. It feels somehow different to be reading a book the author essentially handed to me.
I'm glad I was able to get to Talking Books at all, today. I've been struggling with a migraine for about a week, and it only just broke late this morning. That was not, alas, soon enough for me not to try to work through a bad case of the stupids ... I just hope my coworkers forget I was such a grumpy moron. (If I worked in the office, I'd totally buy them a box of donuts. They earned it.)
