Countess Erika's Apprenticeship , by Ossip Schubin (1854 - 1934), translated by Annis Lee Wister

This project is complete and all audio files can be found in the catalogue: https://librivox.org/countess-erikas-apprenticeship-by-ossip-schubin/
The baron is busy building ventures which are doomed to fail. He thinks the next one would be better, and mourns the absence of his wife who went to beg for money from rich friends for his failing ventures. To this world of love, anger and disappointment, Erika is born, now a keen girl of 14. This story is about her way to fit in, solve her complicated relationships with her parents, and find love. Ossip Schubin is the pseudonym of Aloisia Kirschner, a popular Austrian novelist. (Summary by Stav Nisser )

Hi, how are you. Sure, you can take it as a solo project. This means I am out of the picture for now. Good luck. It is a very good book.

As you read the whole book, the magic window is your responceibility. You are not the bc, because you are the only reader. If you don't want to take care of the magic window, you can ask your future dpl or MC to help you with that. But I should be out of the picture because you take all the chapters and I am going to have nothing to do. It is wonderful, by the way. Many of my projects end as solos.

Hi Viney! I've signed you up for the book. Updating the Magic Window is just a few clicks more, but it goes a long way towards a smoothly running project. You'll need to create a password to access the Magic Window, but after that, keeping it updated is pretty simple. Just add the links in the "Listen URL" column, and the durations in the Notes column, and switch the Status to Ready for PL, whenever you upload a recording.

I'll move us to Going Solo.

When you're ready to try the magic window, let me know if you can access it after creating your password for it :thumbs:

Hi Rapunzelina

I have created a password for accessing MW, as suggested. What next? Should I start recording?

Yes you can start recording! When you upload your first file, post it here in the thread, with the duration, I will enter in the magic window for you as an example, and then you will be able to enter the next ones, I think :D

PS, the password you created also works for the uploader, with your forumname as username
