Greetings one and all!
Katherine and I had another one of our meetings in which we "plotted" for future Blog posts! So.....
Prepare to be amazed!!
Since we had so much fun doing our Blue Castle Read Along back in March.....
we have decided to do.......
ANOTHER READ ALONG!!!
But this time we have a special twist!!
We will be READING ALOUD THE BOOK!!!
We will be posting weekly YouTube videos on our blog of us reading and discussing that week's set of chapters! We are quite excited as we've wanted to do some recorded something or other for a while!
(However, since we still wish to keep our "aliases", there will be no "headshots".)
But we still hope to have a bunch of fun with these videos!!
Anyways, after glaring at our EXTREMELY limited selection of books that we both have read, both liked and that we own, there emerged 4 books for ya'll to choose from. They are.....
The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy
daring do/black pepper/ disguises/ love triumphs
Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
knights & laidies/ rebecca/ fate of england/ jousting
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
pride/ prejudice/ 10,000 a year/ five unmarried daughters
Anne of Avonlea by L. M. Montgomery
davey & dora/ GILBERT/ avonlea adventures/
Leave your vote in the comments below on which book should be our new Read-Along!!
We would like to record our first couple of chapters during Sukkot next week, so please cast your vote by Friday, October 2.
We can't wait to hear from you all!!
All our love
Grace and Katherine Avender
How awesome!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Everyone - Just to let you know if you saw the first "version" of this post and came back to see it changed, here's why: We realized that our original book choices were going to cause infringment on copyright laws if we read them in a YouTube video so we quickly changed our book options to titles that were in the public domain. Sorry for any confusion! Can't wait to see your votes!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! This will be the perfect thing to listen to while I do the dishes! :D Um, I vote for Pride and Prejudice because even though I've already read it twice you can't have too much Jane Austen! <3 I'll also throw in a vote for The Scarlet Pimpernel because that sounds like a good time.
ReplyDeleteYay! Yes, Pride and Prejudice and The Scarlet Pimpernel would be so fun! Can't wait to see what the winner is!!
DeleteThanks for your vote! I can't wait!!
