I love exploring new listening interests, and I’m sure there are other folks in the wider Needle ‘n Thread community do, too! I’ve listed to a couple of those, and will probably explore them a little further. There’s a new-to-me podcast called Thread Cult that focuses more on sewing in the fashion and couture industry. Podcastsįor textile related podcasts, I plug into FiberTalk and Stitchery Stories when the mood strikes. The Education of Little Tree by Forrest Carter read by Johnny Heller was really enjoyable. ![]() She’s always been a favorite author, but her books don’t translate as well into audio. I listened to a couple Willa Cather books. It’s long, but wow! Jeremy Irons was magnificent! Listening to it read by a great narrator was a completely different experience.īrideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh and read by Jeremy Irons is also a masterpiece. I’ve read the book before, but it didn’t do much for me. The Sea Wolf by Jack London and read by Frank Muller was fantastic. In the literary classics category, Audible put out an original series last year, dramatizing Jane Austen’s Emma, and it was quite enjoyable. I also listened to Ten Hours Until Dawn, read by Joe Barrett, which I took up after visiting Gloucester, MA last spring. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind narrated by Chike Johnson is a fabulous tribute to human endeavor and the narration is superb. In the non-fiction category, I enjoyed Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World, read by David Colacci. Plus, the characters are appealing and the stories are fun. The books are well-written, without being trite or simplistic. Anachronisms (whether in character, objects, or settings) always grate on my nerves when I’m reading or listening to a book, so I really appreciate the research and detail in these books. The details of the setting (Victorian London) are nicely done, making the books plausible and enjoyable. The best relatively new-to-me series in this category is Charles Finch’s Lennox series. The writing gets a bit trite, too, with very repetitive phraseology. I’ve also enjoyed a few of the Bess Crawford stories by Charles Todd, although they’re striking me as all very similar and a little unrealistic for the time period they’re set in. It took me a bit to get it, but the first one ( The Man in the Queue) grew on me by the end, so I might venture into another. Recently, in this category, I started listening to Josephine Tey. ![]() I prefer authors who really excel when it comes to the written word. There are so many books and series in this category that, if you like “cozy” mysteries, you’ll never run out of listening entertainment. Classic Detectiveįor light and entertaining listening, I like mysteries (of the classical detective variety – think: Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Dorothy Sayers, Gladys Mitchell, Arthur Upfield, and so forth). I like mysteries of the classic detective variety I like classic literature and I like non-fiction. When it comes to books to listen to while stitching, there are certain genres that appeal to me. Today, I’ll tell you what books I’ve listened to lately and then I’ll open the topic up to you! Perhaps we can share some recommendations for good material to listen to, especially among audiobooks and podcasts! I’m still an audiobook junkie, I love listening to specific kinds of music when I’m in the mood to, and I dabble with podcasts now and then. In the previous article, I went into lots of detail about some of the things I listen to while I embroider, and since then, not a lot of things have changed. The lists do not apply to graduate students or undergraduate students who take less than a full course load.I’ve written before about the topic of listening and stitching in this article on entertainment options for needleworkers. The UA dean’s and president’s lists recognize full-time undergraduate students. – A total of 11,979 students enrolled during the fall 2021 term at The University of Alabama were named to the dean’s list with an academic record of 3.5 (or above) or the president’s list with an academic record of 4.0 (all A’s).
