Greetings friends! Since today is my birthday (🎂 have some cake!), I felt like I should do something a little different for today’s post. I share my birthday with one of my favorite authors Edgar Allan Poe. (Hopefully, I don’t end up dying destitute in a gutter.)
Last year I hosted the #poeathon, but for this year I decided to be hella extra and read The Raven to all of you. Yes, you read that right. I am reading The Raven to you all today!
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, and compliment! I’m not going to lie, I have thought about audiobook narration as a side hustle but the idea of reading aloud for hours sounds exhausting hahaha
I love how much you love Poe’s works. My sister just got th ecomplete collection of his short stories and poems for Christmas and she is so excited to read them. Happy birthday, Kal, and I hope you have an amazing year ahead <3
I totally don’t have this page saved…to come and watch once or twice just for the amazingness of you reading…Happy belated birthday you magnificent person!
KAL this is such a fantastically creative birthday post! listening to you read this poem is so calming; I’m definitely saving the video for when I need a bit of a pick-me-up.
of Poe’s works I’m really only familiar with The Raven (which is to say I’m aware of the most famous ones, but I think it’s the only one I’ve read) – I keep meaning to read more of his work and downloaded The Complete Works when you did the #poeathon last year, but the call of the TBR is strong. (and that’s partly your fault for continuing to fill it, yknow 😜)
Thank you so much, I’m so glad everyone enjoyed this silly post idea of mine! I know what you mean about the call of the TBR so I forgive you for slacking on Poe’s work
