Fantastic! Thank you both, this was such an enjoyable project to work on with you!

Good question! Maybe something else that came into PD this year that hasn't been picked up? I'll reach out when I've thought of something - y'all are definitely my dream team.

Corrections to Section 11 are up!

Includes the correction of "moth" for "moths" - that was definitely not on purpose!

Thank you for your patience - I am fully recovered, out of isolation, and have recorded THE LAST SECTION OF ORLANDO! Section 11 https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/orlando_11_woolf_128kb.mp3 1:02:06 It took me quite a few takes to get the ending right - I did not expect it to make me cry! It didn't w...

My apologies for vanishing this week - I got back from my trip on the 22nd as expected, but I had an unwanted hitchhiker named COVID-19, so I've been recovering and isolating. As noted earlier, I'm wary of the temptation to record because "I seem recovered enough". So the final section may...

Section 10 corrections are up! https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/orlando_10_woolf_128kb.mp3 59:29 As regards the PL note at 26:15, I'm afraid that's just the way I say "wondering". I rerecorded it, but I'm not sure I managed to make it sound any different from the first take. I'll give it...

For years I thought that "amiable" was pronounced "ammiable" because I only ever saw it and didn't hear it until I was probably in my 20s! Ha! I have a small list of words like that. Chaos ("cha-ows") and epitome ("ep-i-tome") come to mind. Section 10 is up! ...

good for you...that is my main problem. I think my voice gets tired if I read for longer than 20 minuntes. I try to stay under 15 minutes per session, then I need a break. :? I totally get that. It's good to know where one's limits are. My husband and I have a long tradition of reading to each othe...

Thanks for confirming that 74 min. is the real max! I think I read the first 15-20 minutes of it several nights ago (up to when Orlando blushes a lot thinking about crinolines and bassinets), and then the rest last night. Reading aloud for long stretches doesn't bother me too much, and I edit as I g...

Section 9 is ready: https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/orlando_09_woolf_128kb.mp3 1:03:45 This will be our longest section - slightly shorter than the original 65-minute estimate, but only slightly. The checker failed it for being more than 60 minutes, but as we discussed at the beginning of the pro...

Hi Anne, I have a couple M4Bs ready for you - Bambi: A Life in the Woods https://archive.org/download/m4b-for-librivox_202402/bambilifeinwoods_2402_librivox.m4b Bushido: The Soul of Japan https://archive.org/download/m4b-for-librivox_202402/bushidothesoulofjapan_2402_librivox.m4b Hopefully I did thi...

Section 7 is PL OK! Excellent! Notes trimmed to just the mm:ss length. Section 8 corrections are ready! https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/orlando_08_woolf_128kb.mp3 42:15 The word of the week is "marl." :lol: It's a good one! But unless I'm missing an older definition, I can't see why wa...

Section 8!

Ah-hahaha-ha-ha! Finally, an evening free to record in! Here are Section 7 corrections: https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/orlando_07_woolf_128kb.mp3 48:04 I was able to isolate that "t" sound at the end of "illusions" and just cut it out, so that was easy. Section 8 coming short...

Sigh. Yes, I know Chapter & Verse is old and no longer maintained. But it has some lovely features still - I really love the ability to import/export chapter splits as a CSV, for instance, and the on-board media player, and the ability to import files without sorting so as to maintain my preferr...
