Hey, it's Otis here.

Before we get to the bedtime reading, I wanted to let you know that I just launched a brand new show.

It's called The Daily Book Club, a daytime companion to Sleepy, where you hear entire books one chapter at a time, one day at a time.

Simple as that.

So if Sleepy is how you wind down your day, the Daily Book Club is a great way to start your day.

There's new episodes, Daily. I read in a slightly peppier voice

so that you can get really lost in these amazing stories that have stood the test of time.

Or just like Sleepy, you can sit back and relax and zone out to a good book.

The first book will be reading is The Enchanted April by Elizabeth Von Arnum.

Story is, in the 1920s, four women unfulfilled with life take a chance and abscond to a dreamy medieval Italian castle.

It's a story dripping with wisteria, the beauty of solitude, and an unlikely pursuit of joy in Portofino, Italy.

I think that this is a perfect story for the season and you can hear it now.

Find the Daily Book Club on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and everywhere else.

The show has been a long time coming and I'm so excited to bring you even more stories.

So go subscribe to the Daily Book Club to hear what happens next.

Thanks. Hey, my name's Otis Gray, and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast where I read old books to help you get to sleep. And this is a midweek bad time story for you.

Tonight, I want to be switching things up a little bit and actually giving you a poetry reading.

This is a sample from the poetry feed on Sleepy, the Patreon fee, and I just love this collection of poems.

It's absolutely fantastic and I know you don't usually hear poems on the regular sleepy feet.

But as spring has sprung and summer is coming, I really really love this collection of

children's stories. and I think you're going to like
