Hello! This is my first project so hopefully I'm doing this correctly.

I'd love to take 19 Tommy Smith, and 23 Love's Fashion on my first go. If things go well I could look to come and take more of the open items to try and help shore up the list.

Please let me know, and thanks in advance for helping me along.

Brad

HI Sonia! All your sections are wonderful and PL OK! The Prisoner, especially, is such a sad poem.

In section 30 (you've named the file _31 by mistake), the word jasmine (one of my favorite flowers!) appears. Jasmine rhymes with Carolin, or mandarin, or vermin (not with mine the way you've said it). Do you want to change that? Or we can keep it as is also, since I've marked it PL OK.

seriously !!!! then why is there an 'e' at the end LOL grrrr, the English language, one can never be sure. Thanks for telling me, and I want to improve my pronunciation as well, so yes, I'll change it. I will also upload with the correct file name. Stay tuned !!!

Hey Brad! Welcome to Librivox, and to this project!

Both your sections 19 and 23 are beautifully read and PL OK!

Those were flawless first recordings. You have a very nice baritone which is a pleasure to listen to.

Happy Librivoxing!
