Good evening and thank you for joining me for another boring books for bedtime.

I hope tonight selection provides all the boredom your busy brain needs to quiet down and let you

get some sleep. So find a comfortable spot, adjust your volume, take a nice deep breath in, let it out slowly, and off we go.

Before we begin I'd like to welcome two new members to our Patreon family, Lauren and Le Ming. Thank you both so much for supporting this

podcast. Your help makes it possible to keep producing new episodes week after

week and keep them ad free for everyone and it's very much appreciated

Both of you will also be eligible for this month's special raffle for supporters, the prize for which is your very own copy of

the 1897 Sears catalog. Leifing through that work is hours of crazy entertainment, and I know the winner will love it.

If you are interested in learning about the perks available to subscribers,

you'll find a link to Patreon in the show description.

You'll also find a link to buy me a coffee.com where you can leave us a one-time tip

no subscription required. I hope you take a moment to check them out.

And good luck to all of our supporters this March in the Raffle. Now let's get to the reading.
