Hello and welcome to Story Time for Grownups.

I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

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. Oh my goodness. I am so excited to be back reading a book with you. I just loved that last week. I love

that we're back. I love that we're back reading a book together. I loved summer session,

but this is what this

podcast is all about. I'm so excited. It's Thursday. It's been a long time since we've had a Thursday

episode. I'm really, really excited to be here with you. Hi, welcome back. This is episode two

of season two of Storytime for grownups, and today we are reading chapters four through seven

of Pride and Prejudice by

Jane Austen. We're reading it like an audiobook with built-in notes, and I'm so glad that you're here.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who contributed financially to the show between

Monday and today. I cannot express to you how shocked and

grateful I am that so many of you clicked that link and gave what you could, and I was not

expecting that, and I just wanted to say thank you to those of you who did. Again, it is in no

way an obligation to give financially to this show. This show is for free.

You're just as welcome here, whether you contribute financially or not, and that's not what we're

doing here. But I have included a link in the show notes to a website called Buy Me a Coffee. In my

case, it would be Buy Me a Tea, where you can contribute financially to the show

if you feel able.
