This would be a great dramatic project. Should I PM Todd ? or put it in suggestions?
Apparently there was a play, from which this novel was written. That would probably be better than turning the novel into a DR.

I suggest posting in suggestions - either Book Suggestions for a reading of this novel version, or finding the play version and posting in that suggestions thread.

Both sections PL OK. I can see why you'd like that whole book read. It does sound like a fun one, from chapter 1! 8-)

I think you should solo it. You did such a good job with the first chapter. ;)

working on Chapter 1 of "Number Seventeen" by Henry Kingsley (1895)

This will be my last one - most collections allow 3 submissions?

I asked my librarian about the noise, and she said, "no one would come here
if they weren't allowed to talk out loud." So I read out loud.

If this is one too many, I can move it to first chapters collection.

Yes, I am limiting this to 2 submissions. I guess you could choose which 2 of your 3 submissions you'd like to have in this collection. :)

One thing I did want to mention is that we don't allow the same recording in more than one project, so if you were planning on using the Blavatsky piece in that work when it comes up as a project, you'd have to re-record it. You could use these other two pieces in this collection instead. Let me know...

Thanks, Tricia. Let's keep the Blavatsky and the Kingsley then, please. I'll think about using the no. 17 piece elsewhere (eg. a solo as you suggested).

I don't plan to do the whole Blavatsky volume I! 8-) (I'm not even sure what this emoji means, but it seems apt here - pretty ambiguous)

I'm planning on reading the section The Household from Domestic Life in Virginia in the Seventeenth Century. How should I state this in the intro and outro? Here is what I currently have in my script for the intro:
The Household from Domestic Life in Virginia in the Seventeenth Century by Annie Lash Jester. Read for the LibriVox Seventeenth Anniversary Collection. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit librivox.org. Read by Mark Dykshoorn. The Household.
And for the outro I have:
End of The Household from Domestic Life in Virginia in the Seventeenth Century.
Are those right, or do I have to change them?

Here's my contribution:
Number 17 by E. Nesbit
https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/17th_number17_nesbit_128kb.mp3
18:39

source: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015055410289&view=1up&seq=691&skin=2021

Fairly obscure ghost(?) story from Nesbit that was never reprinted in a collection in her lifetime, but it's pretty amusing.

Thanks!

I'm not able to access the text, probably because I'm in Canada. But I'll still be able to PL it. :)
