not scary

I enjoyed listening to these to help me fall asleep because the stories were verbose and slowly read. I'd set the timer for an hour and fall asleep before it turned off. I'd have to start over the next night. I has taken me 2 months to finish.

Very pleasant to listen to

I grew up reading a lot, but in the past several years, I haven’t had much time to do so. Is very much enjoyed listening to these stories.
