Okey doke, I’ll use this as my template (and thanks for the quick clarification). Will correct the first file and re-upload it, although the body of the chapter will be the same for proof listening.

Yippee!

Hello, Jude.

Chapter 1 of The Wishing Stone Stories is PL OK. I've thoroughly enjoyed it!

My inner seven-year-old self is expectantly waiting for the rest.

(Just one detail you might wish to consider in future recordings: the final silence required is five seconds long but other than that, everything's perfect.)

Thanks - and thanks for catching the :05 silence mistake at the end. What a silly oops … didn’t tighten it up when I changed the intro. One more fix then on to Chapter 2.

Gotta say I'm loving this book. It would have been so much fun to read as a kid ... so I'm just making like a 64 year old kid instead. Better late than never.

cheers

Hello, Jude,

Chapters 1 and 2 are PL OK.

It's such a delightful book! Here's a little 65 year-old girl thoroughly enjoying it.

Best,

Jasna

I'm not as fond of Billy the Mink as I am of Thunderer the Grouse, but as Herman Munster once said "it takes all kinds of people to make a world".

Delightful Chapter 4 is PL OK!

Chapter 05 (length 23:58) is uploaded and ready to PL.

At the end, do you think it should say "end of chapter 1" or "end of Part 2 chapter 1"(which is how this version sounds)? Just wanted to check with you two. It's easy to replace as I recorded it both ways.

cheers

Thank you! I'll listen to it straight away.

(I think I would go for "End of chapter 1" as "Part 2" is already mentioned at the beginning of the recording. And to be consistent with the way it was done in the first part as well.)

Chapter 5 is PL OK. Loved it!

This one has a bit more drama going on ... loving this book though.

Just one PL Note on Chapter 2, Part 2:

~11:35 (Swapped words) I hear "Round and round the tree of the trunk...".

Yep, this Chapter was packed with action!
