Bleak House Bundles 1–4 are in the Shoppe. Each bundle is about 10 hours of audio. The fifth bundle is being compiled RIGHT NOW on the subscriber stream. It will take us until September 2014-or-so to finish the book… but you’ll have 40 hours (give or take) of listening between now and then.

If you want to subscribe to support the show, you can choose between the simplicity of subscribing through Libsyn to CraftLit on-the-go on your iPhone/iTouch/Android app or if you’re using an mp3 player you can subscribe via PayPal for a Download-only plan. Same content, either way.

Nanette’s Book Raffles
You may recall last Fall when Nanette the Nanny came to my rescue and did All The Work to ship out all of my pre-orders of Grounded.
Well, now she needs a hand, too.
To help her out, CraftLit, Vanessa at Survival Organs, and the MamaO Knits Too Much site are helping Nanette raffle off eight Lots of books-and-bags to raise money for a (surprise!!! and) suddenly necessary move.
Details on how to bid and win will post at MamaO Knits and via the CraftLit newsletter over the weekend.
We’ll start with Lot 1 on Monday, June 23rd and work our way through all eight Lots by Friday, June 27th, 2014.
All of Nanette’s books are gently used and some are Very-Hard-To-Find-Out-Of-Print-Books!
Take a look below and see which ones float your boat. Dates for when each lot will become available are listed below.
