Hello and welcome to Story Time for Grownups. I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. 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 chair,

and settle in. It's story time.

Hi everyone. welcome back.

Literally as I was turning on the mic to record, just now I had an idea.

What do you guys think about t-shirts in the merch store that say either hashtag Team Victor or hashtag Team Monster? What do you think? Write in and tell me if you would like those shirts. And also which one you would wear. Because I know which one I would wear, and we're going to talk about that today, although not about the shirt because I just thought of that. But I think you'll be able to tell by the end of today's intro which one of those shirts I would be wearing if you

can't guess already. Anyway, I am so glad that you're here. Welcome back to Storytime for grownups.

Thank you for being here with me. I hope that wherever you are, you are cozy and warm with your

cup of tea in your lovely armchair with a blanket, even if it's just in your imagination, even if

you're really not anywhere quite like that at all. I hope that this place is that for you. I always

hope that. So welcome. You're always welcome here. Thank you for listening. Okay, so subscribe,

tap the five stars, tell a friend, leave a review, wear your merch, whatever it is that you can do

to spread the word about this show, please do it. But really do subscribe because remember,

the trailer for our very early Christmas Spectacular will be dropping very soon into your podcast feed.

It's coming out October 18th. It's a Saturday. So subscribe so you don't miss it. I'm really excited for you guys to find out what we're doing. And I hope you'll write in once that trailer drops. But we have a little bit of time left until that happens. And please do check out all the links in the show notes. And I hope that you will join our online community as well, because that's a great way to chat with other people about these books,

which is really what it's all about, you guys, talking together with people about books.

Do it. It's amazing. So please do that. And I will let you know soon when the next tea time is

going to be in a little bit more about that. I haven't scheduled it yet. But it's a great time to

sign up and figure out what the drawing room community is all about. I haven't scheduled it yet, but it's a great time to sign up and figure out
