Giving My Books a New Life 😊

I believe that books are a long conversation with the reader. Sometimes, however, we prefer to listen - while out for a walk, travelling, doing something around the house, or simply sitting with a cup of coffee in hand.
For a long time, I had wanted to record extracts from my books. I could never quite find the time or the courage, but at last I have begun. These recordings will give my books a new life - allowing them not only to be read, but also to be heard.
That is why I created the YouTube channel Chalk & Chapters with Elena, where I will share audio recordings of individual chapters from my books - first in Bulgarian and then, gradually, in English as well.
I did this for myself, too. We live in a time when noise is everywhere. It can be incredibly stressful and nerve-racking. Music plays almost constantly. Our phones send us notifications. Short videos follow one another endlessly. Words come and go so quickly that we rarely have time to truly take them in.
Sometimes, however, we need exactly the opposite - a few minutes of quiet. A voice that does not try to shout above the world, but simply tells a story. Time to sit with a single thought, a story, or a question that deserves more attention.
