Audible Stories will come to a close on June 30th. Thank you to all the parents, teachers, and caretakers who brought Stories into their classrooms and homes to help during these unprecedented times.

Thank you!! Since I still have a few credits, this is only worthwhile where the price is less than I paid for a credit. Still - I found 5 books to buy.

NOTE -- you MUST use the Sora app in order to download these books for free

FREE -- Poemsia -- Lang Leav/ Saskia Maarleveld -- 6.5 hrs -- contemporary

New Zealander Saskia Maarleveld is the perfect narrator for the Down Under story of Verity Wolf. While Maarleveld’s accents provide a strong sense of place, she’s also skilled at evoking the warm relationships that are the story’s strength. Verity has a poetic gift and a best friend who sees her talent. Maarleveld depicts the closeness they’ve had since meeting at age 7. Maarleveld also depicts the positive relationship Verity has with her adored grandfather and her boyfriend. When Verity’s fame takes her on a publicity tour to New York City, Maarleveld contrasts the story’s earlier warmth with harsh American accents and attitudes as Verity suffers the jealousy of others and the coldness of the publishing world. Happily, Maarleveld returns listeners to a tender, happily-ever-after conclusion.

FREE -- This Is What I Know About Art -- Kimberly Drew/ K Drew -- 1.0 hrs -- NF memoir

Author Kimberly Drew has a timely message to share in this audiobook about her path from art historian and creator of the innovative blog @blackcontemporaryart to social media manager at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and activist. Aiming her work at a young adult audience, Drew addresses listeners in a precise yet informal narrative that clearly delineates her perspective on the intrinsic connection between art and protest, and the relevance of supporting access to art for all people. Her thought-provoking message will resonate with listeners who have a passion for the arts and aspire to contribute to a more democratized art world. In her unique style, Drew invites us to embrace that passion, add activism, and make a difference.

Week 8 -- In Week 8 of SYNC, which begins June 17, we explore other types of bridges between fields of endeavor and the role social media can play in building and threatening those connections. Both of Week 8’s audiobooks come to listeners courtesy of Listening Library. POEMSIA, a novel by Lang Leav and performed by Saskia Maarleveld, is paired with author-read nonfiction, Kimberly Drew’s THIS IS WHAT I KNOW ABOUT ART.
