I serendipitously stumbled upon an audiobook performed by Rachel and the book is Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Move over Kate Winslet's Matilda, I have found a new favorite rendition.
The tone of her voice, the way she gets into each character and the mood of the story itself, such an abundance of pleasure to listen to at night (Of course would be quite similar during the day but I prefer the quiet of the night time).
Children's stories make better audiobooks. There's a lot of scope for the reader to make it interesting with all the highs and lows and the rhythm of the words used.
It would be the similar case with horror or suspense I suppose, but I'm sort of scared to listen to Stephen King's novels at night (I'm yet to read one). Reading horror would affect me more than watching it as a movie.
I did listen to Murder on the Orient Express performed by John Moffat and I was concentrating too much on understanding the words because I found the accent a bit too thick to casually follow.
Though I'd give anything to listen to such a performance by Scarlett Johansson. 🐒
You could get the books too, if you wish. All of these are on audible and should be available to download somewhere else too, I don't know 😛.
I'll try to share a little more every day as I progress with the books. Happy reading / listening!
