Hi all, hope you're well.
Some of you may already know Audrey - we used to pair people up to read aloud to each other, but in the last year or so we have built an audiobook app where we pair the audio version of classic novels with an expert guide and an illustrator. The idea is to help people access the classics, engage with them in a meaningful and personal way, and hopefully learn something too!
The audiobook guide provides extra content to help listeners slow down and get more out of their listening (historical and cultural context, a playlist, photos of the real-world places in the book, thought-provoking questions, and more), and the illustrator makes a set of evocative illustrations to accompany the book and add texture.
In March we're hosting our first readalong - Little Women by Louisa May Alcott which we're calling 'March with the March Sisters'. We'll be encouraging people to read or listen to the novel in a month (1-2 chapters a day), and we'll be sharing some extra content about the book and facilitating a discussion over on Discord.
If anyone fancies reading, or re-reading, the book in March, and joining in with a hopefully lively discussion as they go, we'd love for you to join us! To sign up and find out more, please email my colleague:
