Hello Taylor! After checking the recording, I have a few notes on chapter 6:
The volume is lower than desired. You could probably amplify in Audacity. I would suggest the Checker to check volume on your mp3s and adjust if necessary. Or if you're recording in Audacity, you can visually assess your volume; the wave-form should peak just above the 0.5 mark as shown in the picture:
Here's some instruction on amplifying if needed: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Amplifying
When you upload your updated file, please fix the filename to be: ideala_06_grand_128kb.mp3

I'll add that as someone new to LibriVox but not new to Audacity: it's possible that that one little spike of sound (the vertical line that touches the top and bottom) will keep the amplify effect from working. That's because it will amplify everything you highlight, but if part of it can't go any higher (that one little spike), then NONE of it can go higher, if that makes sense. (I might be seeing it wrong; the spike might just be where the cursor is, so ignore me if that's the case!)
That would give you a few choices. The 2 easiest are probably 1) zoom way in and delete that little spike of sound (probably something you want deleted anyway?) and then run amplify, or 2) try the compressor effect, which I like better than amplify: makes the loud parts quieter and quieter parts louder, and you can run it multiple times until it gives you the right effect.
Sorry to be so man-splainy--just trying to help!

In the image above, the black vertical line is indeed where the cursor was. But in general what you say makes sense.
Here's a video that applies the compressor to bring down the spikes before amplifying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fKYYj6HMZU
