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 warm, wherever you are. I'm very glad to be here with you. Thank you for joining me to read more David Copperfield together. I wanted to make sure and remind

you today about tea time, which is coming up very soon. It's next week. It's on Tuesday, February 24th at 8 p.m.

Eastern. Tea time happens in our online community, which is called the drawing room. And if you are not a

member, but you'd like to

join us, there's still time. So you can scroll into the show notes of this episode and click on the

link that's there and you can sign up to be a part of the drawing room. You have to be a member of the

landed gentry membership tier to join in on tea time. Tea time is like a voice chat, like a group phone call,

where I can talk to you, you can talk to me, you can talk to each other, or you can just listen,

and we talk for about an hour. It's very, very fun. It's like a cozy chat, and I always really

enjoy it that time flies by. You can also ask me anything. I've already got some

questions in the Ask Me Anything channel over there in the drawing room. So please do join us if you

can and if you'd like to, please do sign up if you're interested, even if you don't want to

join us for tea time, but you're interested in an online space where you can chat with other people who are

listening to this book together and who've read some of the other story time books. It's really

active over there. I guarantee you'll find some friends. So if you're interested in that,

please check out the link in the show notes. And I hope that you'll join us for tea time. I'm

always happy to chat with my old friends and make
