Chapter 14 is PL OK.

I don't find your reading dull or boring. I like the change of emotion and timber. For my ear, you are a little fast but that's me. It takes me a moment to absorb what I'm hearing. I'm sure other listeners would say you are right on target for them.
Okay, thank you for the feedback. I'll try to read a bit more slowly, I do want everybody to understand what I say, non-native listeners in particular who may struggle with fast speech.
Good to see you! - Ben.

Sorry to intrude on the thread, but there is a solution to the talking too fast issue. I also talk fast, and I have a hard time slowing myself down. But, you can slow down your recording without changing your tone. In the Effects tab in Audacity, there is Change Tempo. This will change your speed without changing your tone of voice. I slow my recordings down by 2%, just enough to make me slower without people really noticing it. Try that and see if that will work for you!

Chapter 26 is PL OK.
Chapter 27 could do with 1 extra second of silence at the end (there are 4 seconds right now).
Chapter 28 is PL OK.

You are a great reader! Voice is very clear and steady.
