The Blue Castle, by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Yep, continues to be a lovely feel-good re-read. Nothing new to say about it this time. Except that I'd REALLY like to get an audiobook version of this someday so that I can make myself actually pay attention during the purpley nature descriptions, because I inevitably find myself skimming over those even when I don't intend to.

The Blue Castle is published three years too late for me to be able to find it on Librivox though, which would ordinarily be where I'd go to look for a book like this. And I can't find any evidence of a professional audiobook existing. There is a fan reading posted on youtube that I found? But that's such an inconvenient format, since I'd usually listen to audiobooks when I'm going for walks or things like that. SIGH. Dear United States: fix your messed-up copyright issues, please.

*facepalm* right, I don't know how I forgot that was a thing. Thanks!

I too have been wishing for an audiobook version. However, I thought I did find a catalogue of a book-on-tape, but maybe I'm confusing it with another title...

Oh hey, it's cool that a pro version exists, even if in a format that's prettttty inaccessible these days! (who even has a cassette player anymore?)

Rip it off YT? It's easy to pull audio.

haha, yeah, as I said above, I don't know how I forgot that was a thing. Thanks!
