"'I suppose we shall never see the ocean from where we are to live,' said Imogen."

Yesterday I started a second new solo recording for LibriVox, as I’ve fianlly managed to reduce my “assigned chapter load” a bit. I’ve chosen to read “In the High Valley” by Susan Coolidge, who is one of my fav. authors. Her books are just lovely and the language she uses is really beautiful. She has a knack for catching moods and making you feel as if you were really there, watching the scenes from the sidelines.

“In the High Valley” is the fifth book of the famous “What Katy did” series and is the last one that isn’t yet in the LibriVox Catalog or at least in progress. I can’t tell you anything about it yet, as I haven’t read it either! But it starts out as lovely as the fourth book called “Clover” ends, which Neeru and I are currently reading as a duet!

I’ll write more about it, as I continue reading. Right now the first chapter is recorded but still needs some editing before it’s ready to be uploaded and fit to be listened to. Anyway my project can be found here and all of Susan Coolidge’s books are available here!
