Chapter 3 is spot PL OK

For sections 6 and 7, no comments on the reading, only thing you can change is trimming the trailing silences a bit.
Section 6 has an opening silence of about 2 seconds, instead of 0.5-1.
Section 7 has opening silence >1.5s, and if you're editing anyways, might as well trim the end down from >6 to 5.

Chapter 8 is PL OK

Hi Foon -- 6 and 7 are ready for Spot PL. I also checked 9 and 10 while I was at it.

Thanks Nan! I've been a bit more swamped than anticipated, we have a national holiday (with our own version of Santa) this week, and it involves giving lots of gifts accompanied by poems! I always forget how much time it takes to write those

I'm gonna try to get the last two done tomorrow!

Well. Gifts and poems -- it looks like Nan has to do a little stalking to see where you are from!

Haha, I'm from the Netherlands. We have our St Nicholas (Sinterklaas) holiday. It's widely controversial for being racist...... Which has been a public debate in our country for years! But regardless, we have a lot of fun with gift giving.

Well, I have a pile of wrapped presents, multiple pages of poems for everyone, and loads of snack food for tomorrow! So, fiiiinally (sorry for being slow, Nan!), I got to catch up with PL!

They're all PL OK, except for section 6--the silences are all good now, but someone the volume also changed, and is now too low at 83.2 dB. But if you fix that, we're all set here!

Yes, I had to read all about Sinterklaas.

Here's Chapter 6:
