The readings of sections 43, 44 and 45 are PL OK, t 43 has only about an eighth of a second of silence at the beginning which makes the beginning of the intro sound breathlessly rushed and a bit hard to understand. It could use the lengthening of that silence to at least half a second. Thank you, Elaine.

Here is my 1 minute test.
I'm not qualified to pronounce on the test. Maybe Elsie is. Did you also post it in Listeners and Editors Wanted in the Forum as the wiki instructs us to?

Section 152: The reading is fine, but the file passed checker with warning that it's slightly over the desired 86-92 db range. Some slight negative amplification to bring it down to no more than 92 would improve it. It's a good idea to make it part of the recording routine to run the files through Checker before uploading. Here is the wiki page for Checker https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Checker :)

Hello! I'm trying to upload a recording to the uploader but it keeps telling me the type of file I'm loading isn't allowed. I've tried both a .mp3 and .flac.
