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 aren't

anymore. So welcome to the end of the book. It's been such an amazing, wonderful journey,

and I cannot wait to share the end of this book with you, just as I have so enjoyed and loved

sharing the whole of this book with you. As you can probably

hear, my voice is not exactly back to what I would like it to be, but it is here enough for us to

soldier on, and I do apologize for the sound of it. Again, the chapters do not sound like this,

and I will try not to talk too long during this intersection so that you don't have to

listen to the scratchy voice for too long. But I did want to make sure that I was here to be with you

as we finish this book together. Also, did you catch the trailer? I hope you did. If you're not

subscribed, you might not have, so make sure you're subscribed, but did you catch the trailer? We are reading a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens for our

December Christmas Spectacular. I am so excited. I've already started recording some chapters.

I've already started prepping some various bits and pieces for it, And I cannot wait to share this book with you.

So I hope you're as excited about this as I am. Please do write into me and tell me what you

think of this choice, faithkameur.com and click on to contact or, of course, there's a link in the show

notes. I would love to hear what you guys are thinking at the start of this December special. So we're going to be reading

a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. We're going to be a chapter, an episode, and we're going to

talk all about it. It's going to be so much fun. It's going to be the coziest, Christmassyest time
