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. Hi, everyone. Welcome back. I have to tell you, I'm so confused. I've been prepping for our

Christmas special in December. And I think it's Christmas time. I've got Christmas songs in my head. I keep going

around singing Christmas music. I'm thinking about what gifts I'm going to get people, what cookies

I'm going to make. It's actually kind of delightful. It's like I'm having Christmas time in October.

But it is not Christmas time. We are not doing a Christmas special right this second. We are reading

Pride and Prejudice by

Jane Austen, which I am also super thrilled and excited about. There just isn't quite

Pride and Prejudice music to be walking around singing, but maybe we can write some. Today is

episode 14, and we are reading chapters 40 through 42. Thank you so much for being here. I'm so happy to have you.

And just as a note, we are doing in December a story time for grownups Christmas extravaganza.

We're going to be reading a very short Christmas-related book for the entirety of the month of December,

and all kinds of fun and hilarity will

ensue. So I hope you'll stick around for that. And of course, don't forget to subscribe.

So all of those episodes and all of these Pride and Prejudice episodes come right to your phone.
