Re: ~[SOLO] Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte, Volume 3 by Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne - kaz

Agree. I'm not sure where this book is up to re. PL as it's still in 'Listeners Wanted', yet there seem to be a number of replies and yet again, nothing updated in the MW. Confusing.
Normally BCs are more diligent. And timely. Perhaps a PM?

Re: [SOLO] The Hawaiian Archipelago by Isabella L. Bird - Lt

And here is the final letter, with Isabella leaving Hawaii. A very short one. And no 'burglarious instincts to dread' :lol: There's an odd 3 words 'up to here' at ~12.28 which I suspect might be a mistake, but as they are in the original, I have left them in. https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/hawa...

Re: New Books on Project Gutenberg May 2021

Thank you for this, what a great thing to do. This one caught my eye, but I'm in Australia. How do I check whether it's copyright free for us?

I've recorded the final letter, but need to check it before uploading. Then just 2 chapters to go!

And I proofread #30, and it too is PL OK.

We're back in business :clap:
Oh hooray. And gosh, that was quick, thank you. Only a few to go! :clap: :clap:

Re: [SOLO] The Hawaiian Archipelago by Isabella L. Bird - Lt

OK, I have made the corrections to #29 and reuploaded. Thank you very much for picking up those things that I missed.

I have also done 30 which was a long one, and uploaded that.

Re: [SOLO] The Hawaiian Archipelago by Isabella L. Bird - Lt

I echo Lynnet. I'm sad to hear about your father's passing and hope you're able to take care of everything else while still giving yourself time to grieve. He was ready to go at last. Life had become increasingly difficult with macular degeneration and a heart problem. Thank you for your kind thoug...

Thanks Lynnet. He was 103, so he had a very good innings. Didn't realise organising a funeral involved so much work though.
Back on the job now.

Re: [SOLO] The Hawaiian Archipelago by Isabella L. Bird - Lt

Wow, I didn't realize we're so close to finishing. Four more to go! :clap: Thanks for those corrections - I had missed them clearly. We are close, but I am afraid I am delayed again. My 103 year old father died last week and I am in the midst of funeral arrangements. Will get back on it once my tim...

Re: [SOLO] The Hawaiian Archipelago by Isabella L. Bird - Lt

OK, here at last is another section, the first part of Letter 29. I was going to put them all into one file, but have just finished reading the other part and it would be rather too long if so. And I've fixed the tiny glitch in Letter 28 Only 4 to go after I upload the second part! https://librivox....

Re: [SOLO] The Hawaiian Archipelago by Isabella L. Bird - Lt

Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear about your father. I hope he's doing alright and settling into the aged care facility. That sounds like a lot to deal with. Thanks, it was all consuming for a while. Gradually settling a bit now, though still lots of work involved selling house, getting to grips with his ...

Re: [SOLO] The Hawaiian Archipelago by Isabella L. Bird - Lt

Hi both, I have been meaning to update you, so apologies for this much belated reply. I have not abandoned my project. I was overtaken in the last couple of months by events totally beyond my control, which obliterated everything else. I was on holiday for a couple of weeks, but on return in early M...

Re: [SOLO] The Hawaiian Archipelago by Isabella L. Bird - Lt

A very short one this time, as she finds a way to get closer to her beloved volcanoes. https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/hawaiianarchipelago_28_bird_128kb.mp3 Brr - sooner her than me, she was a stout hearted explorer, was Isabel! And only a few more to go. I probably won't be able to do much in t...

Re: [ABRIDGED CLASSICS] Tales from Ariosto, by J.S.Nicholson-Leni

May I help with the PL? Up until Jmbau is back with us, of course. Glad you could step in, Kevin! Jane, if you don't mind, I will go ahead and PL the last two sections, to get the book cataloged! Of course I don’t. I’m so sorry I’ve been slower on this than I usually am. I really underestimated the...
