    Your podcast brings me joy
    I am so thankful to have discovered your podcast. I started at the beginning of A Woman in White and anxiously awaited each episode. I loved talking about the episodes with my adult daughter, too. Now I’m binging on Jane Eyre and have found your podcasts to be the best companions as I go on a walk, clean house or cook - which it seems I am always doing. Thank you for making it easy to enjoy the classics!

    Always waiting on pins and needles!
    I love this podcast! I typically hate audio books and classics aren’t my cup of tea…yet every week I find myself anxiously awaiting the next episode. I love the way she stops to explain what’s happening without disrupting the flow of the story and the recap she does before each episode. I’ve listened to Christmas Carol, The Woman in White, Pride and Prejudice and now listening to Jane Eyre! Excited to hear her summer sessions on Fairy Tales!

    Love it!
    I love Storytime for Grownups! Thank you Faith! I am enjoying the books and learning so much.

    I love classic literature now!
    I’ve never read Jane Eyer, and I’ve never been more on the edge of my seat with a classic book! I was forced to read Pride and Prejudice in school and hated it. I now know I just didn’t understand much of the language of the culture. Faith Moore gives such good context and just brings characters to life! I’m excited to continue with the podcast and go through more books. Thank you!

    New listener
    I’m a new listener and have had this in my podcast list for a while. I am very excited for the summer fairytales because the longer chapter books with so many episodes per book seems overwhelming.

    Wonderful show
    I love this show. A great idea that has introduced me to classics like Jane Eyre and The Woman in White that I had otherwise missed out on. Faith’s presentation is very enjoyable and her commentary is thoughtful and enlightening. My 13 year old daughter is currently listening to and enjoying Jane Eyre. Something she wouldn’t be doing without this podcast.

    Finally “Read” Jane Eyre
    I was an English Lit major in college a long time ago, but never got around to reading Jane Eyre. Never saw any of the movies either, thankfully. So going through the entire Eyre series with Faith was an enchanting experience, loved every minute of it. I’m at an age where it’s difficult for me read nearly anything anymore so I mostly listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Hers is the best of both worlds. Her analysis of this book makes it so accessible and I love how she enables us to go as shallow or deep as we want. Btw, her voice quality of her characters and narration is top quality.

    Best part of my day
    I only recently discovered this podcast, and it’s quickly become my favorite. Started with Pride & Prejudice (the most delightful experience!) and currently flying through the Woman in White so I can get caught up to listening with the group in real time. I never would have chosen this book on my own and I have come to adore it! I thoroughly enjoy the dramatic reading of the chapters and the brief recaps, explantations and discussions that precede each episode. It’s just the best!
  • TinaR103
    Such a Gem
    This is such an entertaining and informative podcast for anyone interested in getting more into the classics. Faith Moore is such a lovely person and it feels like you are sitting with a good and very knowledgeable friend as she talks through her favorite book. I look forward to every episode and am so glad to have found this wonderful gem of a podcast!

    Never have the time (or will) to read any of the classics?
    This podcast is such a wonderful idea. I have always wanted to read more classics but haven’t made time for them. Faith adds just the right amount of “notes” and discussion to make it feel a bit like a book club and to help you understand some of the trickier language and context. I am specifically excited about reading The Woman in White because it’s one I had never heard of before and probably would never have picked up, and I have been loving it. I’m impatient for each new episode to come out. I hope that Faith will organize each book into “seasons” so that it will be easier to go back to previously read books as time goes on. Right now I am backtracking and listening to Jane Eyre in between the release of The Woman in White episodes, and it is sometimes a pain to scroll so far back to try to find the correct episode. Keep them coming, Faith!!

    Best podcast in my player
    I’ve always wanted to read the classics but, as a working mom of four who does a lot of reading, the classics always fall to the bottom of the pile. Enter Storytime for Grownups! Faith does a wonderful job of adding notes to her lively reading style, including recaps and listener letters, making for a delightfully comprehensive yet relaxed listening experience. I’m hooked! Thank you Faith K. Moore, for this terrific podcast.
  • Lia Marie G
    I LOVE this podcast!
    I have tried reading classic books over and over again, but always give up because they are hard for me to understand. A friend told me about Storytime for Grownups so I gave it a try with her reading of Pride and Prejudice (one of my favorite movies). I was IMMEDIATELY hooked! This story has become so real to me and this has also given me confidence to try more classics. Thank you Faith Moore for creating this beautiful podcast!
  • BabyBoomerinVA
    Brilliant!
    This show is so entertaining and informative! Faith Moore is a wonderful reader, narrator, commenter, teacher, and host. She’s delightful, which makes the show a pleasure. The books are great and her commentary and analysis makes listening to them even more fun and satisfying.
  • tall4ahobbit
    Enjoying this “classic” podcast!
    A longtime ago lit major who managed to escape a few of these classics, I’m delighted to discover them anew as an older and possibly more appreciative “student.” Ms. Moore is inspiring her listeners to leave aside the shifting sands of culture and dig into timeless works of truth and beauty. And may I suggest a more excellent use of the time we have been given.
  • Lesley Kelly
    I can’t believe it happened so soon!
    Shock and Awe! I don’t want to add any spoilers, wow, I was not expecting what we all might have been expecting to happen so soon!

    What a cliffhanger
    Oh my goodness when you read that, Marion was still at the house I about dropped my phone! I can’t wait for Monday I can’t wait for Monday to come for the next reading!

    Such a Great Escape!
    I have been listening from the beginning and now my wife has joined me. We look forward to Monday and Thursday evenings. We finish dinner, do the dishes and settle in for the next chapters. Thank you for doing this the way that you developed it.
  • Mattsqp
    Such fun!
    I recently discovered this gem, and I have been absolutely enthralled. On the days when new episodes don’t come out, I go back to catch up on the other books. Faith has exceptional narration skills and excellent taste in literature. Her enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you for creating this app!
  • Carlatte
    The Classics are so entertaining!
    I so enjoy the anticipation of waiting for a new episode to drop! What a suspenseful story the Women in White is. Thankyou Faith for this wonderful podcast! It sure makes reading the classics a joyful ride!

  • Lemonyzest
    SO. MUCH. FUN!
    Faith does an excellent job of reading, but it’s so much more. It’s sharing a story and Faith is an excellent , enthusiastic host. I am very old - anyone of any age can enjoy a good story. Try it! I highly recommend. Thank you Faith!
  • Tough winter
    Just plain fun!
    I’m having so much fun listening to this book! I can’t wait to go back and listen to the other books in the podcast. I’m hand piecing a quilt while listening…a quilt and a book go perfectly together!
  • mckennakeck
    I NOW see why these classics are classics!
    I love this podcast. I now understand now why these classics are considered classics! They’re so so good when you understand them, and the little notes and summaries make it easy to understand and get into the story. Highly recommend.
  • Usjznuao
    This is perfect!
    I absolutely love this podcast. Faiths voice is perfect and calming but also keeps me engaged with the book. I love the commentary explaining things while reading it’s short and sweet and doesn’t take away from the reading and the questions/answers at the beginning make understanding so much easier. Thank you!
  • natali861
    Pride & Prejudice
    Really enjoying the Pride & Prejudice series! My book club girls and I are reading/listening to the Jane Austen books this year and having this podcast with the little notes mixed in as well as the narration has really helped!

    Jane Erye
    I just found your podcast and enjoying the reading of Jane Eyre, one of my all time favorites. Unfortunately, every time you refer to how to find you and you mention x, you lose me. The owner of this company is a facist and doesn’t deserve any recognition. Perhaps you should consider leaving twitter?
  • Jenn2947466
    Excellent
    I have learned so much and have really enjoyed this podcast. Faith’s enthusiasm is infectious and entertaining. She has helped me discover a new love for classic literature!

    First rate!
    Faith chooses great pieces of literature to share. She does a masterful job relaying the stories while clarifying text that might be unfamiliar to her audience.
  • SC CakeLady
    Book club that fits my schedule!
    I always wanted to join a book club but found it too difficult to keep up with my demanding schedule. This podcast makes me feel a part of one but allows me to do on my timeline. I love this podcast! Thank you Faith and keep up the excellent work!

    This podcast was recommended to me by my husband. We both enjoy listening to this podcast and enjoy discussing the podcast with each other. I look forward to each episode and DO recommend to everyone who loves a good story ❤️ Thank you so much for giving us this podcast and your time!
  • Bankgal2254
    Fantastic
    I just discovered this podcast and am in season one. I read Jane Eyre many years ago and enjoyed it very much. I love Mrs Moore’s reading so much. Her pauses to explain a word or phrase are perfectly timed and much appreciated.
  • CaitlinVas
    The thing I was searching for.
    This podcast! I will start my post by saying I am not an avid reader like I once was. But I have always wanted to read the classics and in particular Jane Eyre. I was a little intimidated but the reader on this podcast has perfect little notes and does not give the story away. I love her And this podcast. They are like a step away from a busy world into the past with beautiful language, and in Jane Eyre at least, our relationship with Christ as Christian’s, a discussion on womanhood and what that means. It has been an incredible journey. I’m looking forward to the next book. ❤️
  • Kyanne
    My new obsession
    Obsessed with listening to classic novels? I never would have guessed it for myself 😂 but, here we are! I love how Faith reads, the additional notes are perfect. Even though she has a strong grasp of classics, she knows exactly when the average person needs an explanation of outdated language or customs. I binged Christmas Carol and Jane Eyre (loved it!!) and now I’m listening to Pride and Prejudice and thoroughly enjoying it. I’ll be sad when I fully catch up and have to wait for new chapters!

    Being introduced to a classic that I have long heard of but never read is an unexpected delight in my 71st year.

    Jane Eyre
    I am thoroughly enjoying listening to Jane Eyre! I’m a lover of classic literature and listening to Faith’s podcast has become my favorite time of the day! Keep them coming!
  • Forensic DNA Analyst
    Wonderful escape!
    I have been binge listening to Jane Eyre and am thoroughly enjoying listening to a novel I was always too intimidated to read. I love Faith's light analysis -just the right amount and am excited to get to the other novels too. Faith is a delight and her passion shines through! And no tests or essays!!

    Storytime for Grownups
    I love Faith’s Storytime. She does a great job reading the books. As soon as I saw “Pride and Prejudice” included, my all time favorite, I had to binge-listen to it. Faith did it justice and I learned new ways of looking at the story through her excellent commentary.
  • Tambourine784
    Wonderful!
    This is a lovely, lovely podcast and now the highlight of my evening. My husband and I do brew a pot of tea each evening, and get cozy in our arm chairs, and listen with eager ears for the next chapter! We love how beautifully Faith reads and we love the little notes and insights she inserts very gently. We started with “A Christmas Carol” and now we’ve moved on to “Jane Eyre”. We’re having so much fun!

    The perfect entry point for ENJOYING classic books
    Faith Moore opens the wardrobe door, inviting us into a world of great stories. She adds just the right amount of clarification as she reads the text—just enough to help, but not so much to jolt you out of the story. Perfect for someone like me who misses AP English. Ha!
  • ishymaster
    Joyful and lovely pod
    After reading Faith Moore’s novel, Christmas Karol, I was intrigued to learn she had this podcast. Her joyful approach to the content is like a lovely break from the political podcasts. She’s a gem, and she thoroughly appreciates her listeners. It’s just fun.

    Exceptional Contrnt
    I learned about this podcast and author, Faith K. Moore, via her father, Andrew Klavan’s Daily Wire show. Mrs. Moore reflects the family intellect in her presentation and interpretation of classic books that I’ve read or meant to read decades ago. Her voice is clear and engaging, which demonstrates her enthusiasm for each book while encouraging me to keep returning. The classics of the past help us to better understand our current world. I am grateful that I found this podcast, which is providing respite from our own often turbulent culture. Keep the Faith!

    A treat for my heart!
    I have always wanted to read the classics and I’m delighted to have found Faith and her podcast. I love everything about the podcast! Faith brings profound insight into the setting and background of each book she presents and I just eat up every single episode! Faith, thank you for sharing your passion for the classics with your audience.

    Insightful Reading
    I love listening to this reading of classic novels on my commute to and from work. It allows me to enjoy my love of books in a time of my life that is so busy! Her insights and explanations make it very enjoyable to read and listen to daunting books
  • fitnessbygretch
    Truly enjoyable
    This has been a truly enjoyable podcast. I am in the process of binging the episodes so I may catch up. I have been pleasantly surprised as to how much I have been able to understand these books and enjoy them through Faith’s explanation and comments. Thank you so much for this delightful podcast.
  • emrush
    Delightful
    Faith does an amazing job at reading the chapters themselves and giving great explanations! I listen to pride and prejudice first and I’m now going back to listen to season one with Jane Eyre. I am loving that I can still binge the episodes!
  • Robkpack
    Superb podcast
    As an English major myself, I was thrilled to find this wonderful podcast! I was hooked on day one. Love her approach to the text itself, and literature analysis.
