Love this post so very much. I’m going to give The Brothers K one more try (it will be my fourth attempt to finish)–maybe Constantine can pull me to the finish line. Thanks for sharing these sweet memories. xoxo

I always think of my little sister reading the Ramona books… she always liked them more than I did. I fear that she was Ramona and I was Beezus. 🙂 Thank you so much for the recommendation on Stockard Channing, Patricia! xo

Great to hear from a fellow Alabamian who loves books & listening to words read aloud! Lovely post, Joelle!

It’s such fun to be a Bacon guest!

I should have included Brant’s feedback on Constantine Gregory’s narration – I sometimes use my little Jawbone portable speaker to listen. Last weekend when I was listening on the porch that way, Brant walked out there and commented, “It’s like having C3PO tell us story.” High praise!

I recommend Stockard Channing reading the Ramona books by Beverly Cleary – I so understand what Joelle means when she says her mother’s voice can still be heard when she reads the book again. I always hear Channing’s voices when I pick up a Ramona book! Thanks for this Bacon story – makes me want to plan a reading with my mom and youngest for our upcoming beach trip!
