Hello and welcome to Story Time for Grownups.

I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading David Copperfield by Charles Dickens.

Each episode I'll read a few chapters from the book,

pausing from time to time to give brief explanations, so it's easier to follow along.

It's like an audiobook with built-in notes.

So brew a pot of tea, find a cozy Okay, we've got a lot to talk about. You guys have been writing in with all kinds of great comments. So I'm going to read them. We're going to talk about them. I just have one quick announcement before we get into that, which is that I have

scheduled February's tea time. Tea time happens over in our online community, which is called

The Drawing Room, because it's where we withdraw after this podcast to keep on chatting and

talking. It's a wonderful place. If you're not

already a member, you can scroll into the show notes and find the link to learn more about

signing up for the drawing room. But next tea time will be February the 24th. That's a Tuesday

at 8 p.m. Eastern. For those of you who don't know, tea time is a group voice chat,

kind of like a phone call where I can hear you and you can hear me and we get to chat together

about the book. You can ask me anything. I've already got some great ask me anything questions

that you guys are submitting over in the drawing room. So if you're not a member or if you're not a member of the landed gentry membership tier,

which is the tier that you need to be a part of to join in on tea time,

you can click the link in the show notes and either sign up or change your membership.

And I hope that we'll be able to see you and hear you there, I guess just hear you there.

And I will remind you again as it gets

closer in case you forget. So tea time is Tuesday, February 24th at 8 p.m. Eastern. Other than that,

all of the same reminders are still in effect. Please subscribe. Please tap the five stars. Please leave a
