The prompt of “Wild” for my VOvember recording session today brought me to “The Hermit and the Wild Woman and Other Stories” by Edith Wharton. Hermits, satyrs … This may be another of those I want to record more of later! #VOvember #VOvember2019
November 15, 2019: “Legend”
Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” (1820) is where the text I decided to record today is from, thanks to the prompt of “Legend” I borrowed from Inktober’s list. Halloween may be two weeks past, but ghost stories are evergreen! Enjoy. 🙂 #VOvember #VOvember2019
November 13, 2019: “Ash”
Today’s prompt of “Ash” brought Mark Twain’s “The Innocents Abroad” to my VOvember project. It seems I’ve been on the mic with many more audiobook reads for VOvember this year than last — perhaps it’s a sign of things to come! #VOvember #VOvember2019
November 12, 2019: “Dragon”
“Dragon” – Such a fun prompt borrowed from Inktober for today’s VOvember recording! Here’s the opening of the children’s story “My Father’s Dragon” by Ruth Stiles Gannett — an animated feature of which is coming to Netflix in 2021 (I’m not in it, just mentioning it :)) #VOvember #VOvember2019
November 11, 2019: “Snow”
“Snow” is today’s prompt for my VOvember fun, and with the help of my cousin Chris, it leads us to “The Martian Chronicles” by Ray Bradbury. From snow and ice to oven heat – just like the country’s weather today! #VOvember #VOvember2019
November 8, 2019: “Frail”
Today’s prompt of “Frail” led me straight to hell. Via Dante’s Inferno, that is – Canto XXXIV to be specific, in which we encounter Satan himself. So much for my hope this morning of recording something cheerful this evening! 😛 #VOvember #VOvember2019
November 7, 2019: “Enchanted”
“Enchanted” is the prompt for today, and the book “The Enchanted April” by Elizabeth von Arnim (1922) is where the prompt led me for this VOvember recording. I may just have to read the whole book someday. #VOvember #VOvember2019
November 6, 2019: “Husky”
“Husky” is the prompt du jour for my VOvember fun, and it brings us to this snippet from a not-well-known Charles Dickens novel called “Life And Adventures Of Martin Chuzzlewit.” #VOvember #VOvember2019
November 5, 2019: “Build”
It’s animation time for today’s VOvember. “Build” is the prompt, so here’s a wee bit of Fairy King animation VO adapted from “Story Lessons on Character-Building (Morals) and Manners” by Loïs Bates (1900). #VOvember #VOvember2019
November 4, 2019: “Freeze”
“Freeze” is the prompt from the awesome Inktober list that I’m taking inspiration from for VOvember day 4. The word freeze is at the heart of this 1951 SciFi story from Galaxy Science Fiction magazine called “Zeritsky’s Law” by Ann Griffith. My apologies in advance to the ASPCA. 😛 #VOvember #VOvember2019
