LeVar has an extremely popular podcast LeVar Reads where he reads out loud to his audience from different stories and books, but now he's bringing it to social media to help families stay entertained during quarantine.

LeVar announced this in a tweet, saying he would be starting this Friday.

And there's something for everyone — in his tweet he revealed that there will be three weekly sessions. Mondays will be for children and will air at 12pm ET.

Wednesdays will be for Young Adult novels at 6pm ET.

And for all grown ups who just need some of LeVar's dulcet tones to help them feel better (AKA: me), on Fridays starting at 9pm ET, he'll be reading books for adults.

We could all use a little relaxing and this seems like the perfect way to do it!

Other celebrities have been doing their own storytimes, including Dolly Parton and Josh Gad, but when it comes from the face of Reading Rainbow himself, it just hits different.
