Books at Bedtime

by Tyler the Narrator

I love reading books. Perhaps you also like books. My mother would read books to me when I was a child, and those are some of my favorite memories. These days, I often wonder if people have the chance to listen to someone read to them personally. Audiobooks are nice, but they lack a little something in the interaction department. I'd like to offer people a chance to listen to stories as they might hear them read by a parent or older sibling, complete with laughter, commentary, and all the other things that go with a good book.So go ahead and snuggle up with a blanket and a cup of hot cocoa and listen as I read books to you.
