Seen Reading
For those of you who know me on Twitter, you’ll know I go by the name of @aliasgrace. Being a bookworm I thought it was a fitting handle for a number of reasons, one of which is that it’s from a great piece of CanLit.
So, when literary voyeur Julie Wilson from Seen Reading asked me to do a podcast for her Readers Reading series, I happily obliged with an excerpt. You can hear me on her site in all my grainy-voiced glory. And, no, I’m not a chain-smoking 80-year-old woman. Go check out Aliasgrace reading…Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood (McClelland & Stewart).
If you don’t want to do it for me, do it for Tofu. It’s not enough that he has a website dedicated partially to him. When he heard I was doing a podcast recording he tried reading passages with me, over me, and even without me. It wound up taking me probably twice as long to do the recording (and editing) as a result. Fame is clearly getting to his little head.
But who can resist that face?
(Disclaimer: resisting this face will only lead to heart shrinkage and Grinchism.)
P.S. If you’re a bookworm like me and would like to participate in the series, contact Julie Wilson at julie [at] seenreading [dot] com.

You don’t sound like a chain-smoking 80-year-old woman at all! Actually, you’ve a great voice for audiobooks. Clear and soft!
I had to listen. I couldn’t resist the face!
I went, I heard, I was impressed.
I wish I could go check it out, but the hearing thing kinda doesn’t work in my favor! I definitely cannot resist that face. My two win me over every single day, for better or for worse!
Ang: You’re too kind. And Tofu thanks you for dropping by.
Gifted: Thanks for checking it out. It was a lot of fun and I definitely encourage other bookworms to do a podcast.
Elizabeth: I tried to at least find the text online so you could at least read the passage but had no luck. If you haven’t read it before though, I highly recommend it. And, yes, our little doxies are lovable little characters.
