More Audiobook than Knitting

As the title says this post has more about audiobooks than knitting. I finished Tyrannasarous Canyon by Douglas Preston yesterday evening and it was a really good listen. Some of the voices the narrator did really grated on my nerves, for instance he wasn't good at female voices making them sound a bit breathy but the story was fantastic (as always from this author). The fact that it involved paleontology, geology and a little bit of the wierd made it perfect for me.


I did try to continue listening to KnitKnit by Sabrina Gschwandtner but it's just not for me. Normally I love listening to the Knitting Out Loud audiobooks as I find the history and theory of knitting really interesting but this just seems a no go for me.


My next Audible credit is due tomorrow and I already have Dark Fire by C. J. Sansom set for auto purchase with it. This is the next in the Matthew Shardlake series set in the reign of Henry VIII. I am a big fan of any Tudor fiction and I enjoyed the first in this series 'Dissolution' so much I put the second straight for auto purchase. My only grievance with these books is that they are the abridged versions. As far as I can tell there have been no unabridged versions recorded yet and it is unlikely there will otherwise I would have waited. Normally I wouldn't purchase abridged but these had such good reviews I couldn't wait and I am glad I didn't. Knowing me I will buy them all again if unabridged versions are released!!


But that's not until tomorrow so what to listen to today??? I only have a couple of hours listening time available today so I am just going to be patient and wait until tomorrow for the next instalment. I am sure I will find some knitting podcasts to listen to :o)


Speaking of knitting, I have to include this picture of the 'Teresa' colourway of Aran yarn I purchased from Calana Crafts is knitting up:


I am not sure my picture does it the justice it deserves but everyone who sees it 'in the flesh' raves over it.
