Hello and welcome to Storytime for grownups.

I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

Each episode, I'll read one chapter 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. Welcome back. Thank you so much for sticking with me to episode two. I'm so glad to have you here.

And thank you to everyone who listened to the first episode of Storytime for Grownups.

I have been absolutely overwhelmed by the response.

You've all been so kind to write to me via my website and to contact me via X and all the other places where you've reached out to tell me that you enjoyed the episode and that means so

much to me and I'm so grateful. Thank you. Thank you so much for being here. I'm so excited.

I'm so excited to continue reading Jane Eyre with you. And if you're new, I'm so glad that

you're here if you missed episode one, but I do recommend that you go back, pause this one and go

back to episode one because we are reading Jane Eyre chapter by chapter

and pausing from time to time for some notes and explanations. So you'll want to go back and

start at the beginning with chapter one. Otherwise, you might be a little bit confused because

this is episode two and we're going to be reading chapter two of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

Before we get started, I just want to remind you

that you can find out more about me and the things that I'm doing on my website, faithkaymore.com.

You can also find me on X at FaithK. Moore. And if you're interested, you can buy my novel,

Christmas Carol, on Amazon, or my nonfiction book, Saving Cinderella,

What Feminists Get Wrong about Disney princesses and How to Set It Right.
