The Sleepy Bookshelf - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have never heard a reader with as much talent as Elizabeth Grace. Her narrator voice is beautiful and relaxing, and she convincingly presents each character, male or female, as a distinct individual. The stories selected for reading are awesome, but I bought the subscription to Slumber Studios because of Elizabeth’s skill.

I love this podcast so much! Now I sleep much better & love drifting off to the sound of Elizabeth’s voice, it’s so calming! My only complaint if the commercials are so loud that I wake up, & that some of the episodes are kinda short. Otherwise absolutely love! Thank you! ♥️

Love the old stories from spoken by and written by female authors! Elizabeth’s voice has become so comforting it’s hard to find another voice if I’m not into the current story but I can always go back in time because I can never make it through a whole episode before falling sweetly to sleep 🫶🏼

I agree with others that Elizabeth's skills of hosting, narrating, and reading the stories are simply amazing!! Her voice is so soothing that she really does lull me to sleep. ☺️ THANK YOU SO MUCH, ELIZABETH!!!!! I don't think I've ever heard the end of an episode because of the way she reads; instead, I fall asleep before the episodes end.

The only thing I don't like is that when I asignaciones to Pro, the no -pro version of the show remained in my YouTube music library. But that's a YouTube issue, not a podcast issue. I didn't even realize that's why I would sometimes hear ads despite having paid for premium until tonight when I wanted to see if I had missed any episodes of the most recent book I'd finished listening to with Elizabeth : A Tale of Two Cities.

So far, there has been only one book that I found too stimulating to fall asleep to. I think that's a very good stat!

I have listened to and loved this podcast for about two years and recommended it to everyone I know. I hate to have to give such a low rating, but the loud ads at the beginning of the episode are a complete turn off for me. To go from Elizabeth’s soothing voice to the super loud advertisements, with literal dogs barking at times, is jarring and throws off the whole listening experience. I understand that ads are necessary for the free version of the podcast, but if there’s a way for them to be read in Elizabeth’s voice, which was done in earlier episodes, that would be much better. Until then, I’ll have to find another podcast to help me fall asleep at night.

There are LOUD ads. They moved them to the beginning of each episode. The problem is that when you play a book through the night, you are still startled awake between episodes on auto-play. I would subscribe, but the price is ridiculous. If it was about 50% of the current price I might be able to afford it. Even the annual cost is just too much.
