What is the purpose of the episode and how does Faith introduce the show?
Hello and welcome to Storytime for Grown Ups. I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston LaRue. 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.
Mm-hmm. Hi, welcome back. I'm sorry, but my voice is still a little scratchy. I think I'm on the mend. It's a little better than it was. I'm taking some medicine, I'm drinking some tea, I'm doing lots of resting, so I think we're good. But I'm sorry you have to listen to my scratchy voice. again in this episode, but as before, the chapter was recorded before I got sick, so you won't have to deal with it in that part of the episode, but you will have to deal with it now. We're just gonna soldier on because I've got a lot to say today, and so hopefully my voice will hold out and I'll just do the best I can. So please bear with me and thank you. I appreciate you listening to this kind of strange, scratchy voice for a while.
So Before I get into the episode and the questions, I do just want to remind you of a couple of dates coming up. Because they are coming up this week. So the first is this Wednesday, Wednesday, September 30th at 8 p.m. Eastern is tea time. That'll be over in our online community, which is called the drawing room, because it's where we withdraw after the show to keep talking. And tea time is like a voice chat, kind of like a group phone call. You can hear me, I can hear you. You don't have to talk, but I love it when you do. And we will talk about this book so far. We won't do any spoilers, but we'll talk about the book so far. You can ask me any questions. There's already some questions that people have been posting in the drawing room, so we'll get to those.
You can ask me anything at all, really. And I would love to answer questions about my novel Wooing Jane if you have any of those. And of course, questions about this book, questions about anything. So please do join us. If you haven't yet joined us for tea time, I would love to see you there. I know some people have joined the drawing room since the last tea time so hopefully you guys will show up and if you'd like to join the drawing room and you're not yet a member just scroll into the show notes the description of this episode and you'll find a link there it won't automatically sign you up or anything but if you just click that link you'll learn more and I hope that you will join us at tea time.
other date to mention well actually two dates to mention this week. Which is so exciting that it is in fact now this week. The first is that my novel, Wooing Jane, comes out on Friday. It comes out Friday, October 2nd. And actually, I just checked Amazon. And if you have pre-ordered the book, it looks like it might actually get to you before the second, which is kind of cool. And if you haven't yet, and you go and click on the link in the show notes to find the book, you will find I think that it's Not A pre order anymore. It's just an order. It'll come to you, I think, in a couple of days. So if you haven't yet Pre-ordered or now ordered a copy of Wooing Jane. I would love it if you would do that. It's a way that you can support me in the work that I'm doing.
So even if you don't like to read romantic comedies, maybe you know someone who does. So you can do some early Christmas shopping or just get a gift just because for somebody that you know who likes rom-coms. And I would love it if you would pick up a copy because. The book means a lot to me. It's really close to my heart. I'm very, very fond of it. And so I hope that you will like it too. So I hope you'll get a copy. And when you get yours, let me know. You can send me an email. You can, I don't know, post it somewhere or something. Let me know that you've got your copy. I would love to know that they're actually shipping out to you guys. That's so fun. And of course, when you read it, let me know what you think of it.
