Saknicole I adore Zora Neale Hurston. Have you read her essay “How It Feels To Be Colored Me”? Her attitude is a joy. 3y

BookmarkTavern @Saknicole I have not! That and Barracoon are still on my TBR from her. 3y

Saknicole I haven‘t read Barracoon yet either, also on my TBR. The essay is super short though. I‘m sure it‘s available online. Just her oozing charisma. 3y

BookmarkTavern @Saknicole I was able to find a posting online! Thank you! ❤️ 3y

If you have a Spotify account, this whole audiobook is available for free to listen to. You‘ll need a premium membership to turn off the shuffle setting though. 🤣

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I believe the free version on a computer or laptop will keep it from shuffling. 4y

BookmarkTavern @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Ah! That is excellent news! Thank you! 4y

Also, I keep getting distracted trying to read the titles on the bookshelves behind her! 🤣

Kdchase I have a book or two of hers on my TBR pile! She looks sooo welcoming. Is it the cats? I think it‘s the cats. 4y

BookmarkTavern @Kdchase It‘s probably the cats. 😁 If you haven‘t read her stuff before, I can‘t recommend it enough! 4y

Branwen Thank you for sharing this! How wonderful! 🤗 4y

UwannaPublishme She‘s a kick! And I just noticed she‘s wearing a Laurel Burch cat shirt. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 4y

For more stuff to listen to, LeVar Burton has a podcast where he reads short stories! He had chosen some truly amazing stories, and any millennial who grew up on Reading Rainbow will appreciate slightly more grown up bedtime stories. 😁

In fact, I‘m going to bring back my #bookcast2019 pairing books with podcasts to listen to. I‘ll try and do a few more of those. #bookcast2020

Scochrane26 I listen to his podcast sometimes. He‘s such a great reader. 4y

KathyWheeler I love that Gaiman gave him blanket permission for any of his stories. 4y

BookmarkTavern @Scochrane26 Isn‘t he? I keep putting his podcast on to help me get to sleep, but I always stay awake until he finishes the story! @KathyWheeler He‘s actually been on Twitter for a couple days now handing out blanket permissions to teachers and librarians and others! ❤️ 4y

I cancelled my Audible membership back when I quit my job, and when someone finally hires me somewhere else I‘ll be switching over to a Libro.fm account.

However, this is an amazing thing Audible is doing.

#freelistens

Sweetkokoro While this is amazing, the selection has a lot to be desired, my daughter showed interest in about 5 of them. I hope others find it useful and I do appreciate what they are doing but it won‘t work for my household. 4y

BookmarkTavern @Sweetkokoro Yeah, it‘s not a huge selection. But what I really appreciate the most about it is the range of languages they‘re offering beyond English. 4y
