Thank you, Jo, for setting up another issue for us!
I thought this journal might be obscure, but as long as it attracts interested readers, we can keep on.

We have are DPL and the MW is populated. So --

READY FOR READERS

Just buzzing through and find this honey of a read.

I see that the warm discussion of Natural, Prolific, and Hardy Queens continues apace; may I claim it? (Section 5)

Yay! I'm so excited to have found this series it is fascinating to me! Could I claim sections 3 (I've found a new love for Italian queens

) and 10?

Roselbex · Post by **Roselbex** » September 23rd, 2021, 1:45 pm

May I claim Sections 6,7,8, thank you

Ryanwill4 · Post by **Ryanwill4** » September 23rd, 2021, 2:05 pm

I would like chapter 4, Novice

Edit: there seems to be some confusion regarding sections, since 3 and 4 have been combined into a single entry. Novice is technically the fifth entry in the journal, but it number 4 on the list. which number should we use in our recording?

I would imagine that since 3&4 are still part of "section 3" in the audiobook collection, you would go ahead and read the introduction as "Section 4" and then when you read the chapter title just say "Novice" instead of reading "chapter 5: novice". Hope that makes sense! Larry (silverquill) may have a different thing they would prefer to do, but that is what my assumption would be.
