ASMR Bedtime Stories

Tonight's bedtime story comes from a book that my cousin picked out for me at a local bookshop! The Little Lame Prince was a classic many years ago, but it seems to have been forgotten in the last few decades. I really enjoyed reading it! It was my first time reading the story and I thought it would be more natural for me to read it to you for the first time together. This episode

For tonight's story, I thought I'd continue reading more of Heidi by Johanna Spyri. Listen as I read you chapters 2-3 of this beautiful classic where we'll follow Peter and Little Heidi up to the top of the mountains with the flock of lively goats. Alm Uncle seems a little kinder in chapter 2 than he did in chapter 1....what do you think? ☁️ Sweet Dreams ☁️ As always, you c

Welcome to the first episode of Season 2 of ASMR Bedtime Stories! Tonight's story starts with Chapter 1 of Johanna Spyri's, Swiss classic, Heidi. You might be surprised to learn that this book was originally published in 1881 and turns 140 this year!

Tonight's episode features a traditionally beloved fairy tales for lots of folks! Hans Christien Anderson's 'The Ugly Duckling' is a little darker than you may remember from your childhood, but I think it makes the ending that much sweeter. This episode does come with a trigger warning at the start, just in case you're not in a place to listen to some topics right now. As always, y

This episode is an extra long one! After debating on whether or not to break it up into smaller episodes, I decided that it was best listened to in one go so you wouldn't have to worry about finding out how the story ends. Hans Christien Anderson's 'The Snow Queen' served as the original inspiration for a certain popular movie franchise although there isn't much of the original sto

This episode brings you a few folktales from the Ashanti Tribe (Ghana) in West Africa. One of my favorite frequenters of West African lore is Anansi, and I loved being able to read some of his tales for you tonight! I highly recommend reading more about him and his place in Ashanti culture. Thank you all so much for being patient with me while I've been sick. It's meant so much to

After a break to take care of my voice and health, I'm back to read you more bedtime stories! Thank you to everyone who was so kind during my break, I'm thankful for each and every one of you.  This week's bedtime stories include Little Red Riding Hood, The Fox and The Cat, Mrs. Fox Remarried, and another bonus episode that you'll have to listen to find out ;) I have more Grim

Tonight's episode features a lovely edition of Anderson's Fairy Tales that my amazing spouse found at an antique shop in town! The illustrations are lovely and my old copy was so tattered (I read the binding glue off of my paperback copy) it was a wonderful surprise :) In this episode, I whisper two fairly popular stories of Hans Christien Anderson's to help soothe you to sleep. It

Tonight's bedtime story features Snow-White and her sister, Rose-Red. Not all fairytales have wicked mothers or neglectful fathers! I really enjoyed trying out some new voices for this story :) I hope you enjoy!  I have more Grimm's Fairytales to read, so feel free to let me know what your favorites are and I'll be happy to read them to you! As always, you can follow me on Twi

Tonight's episode was specially requested from a follower on Twitter - thank you for the suggestions, CakiePamy! This version of Cinderella is a bit darker than the Disney version you may be familiar with, but I hope it's soothing to you nonetheless. I have more Grimm's Fairytales to read, so feel free to let me know what your favorites are and I'll be happy to read them to you! As
