Section 06 PL notes:

Very lively reading

At 19:40 you said "unconsciously reverent" should be unconsciously irreverent
At 20:22 there is a needlessly long pause. Was that intentional?
At 34:44 the word well is missing

This book is pretty good. Why aren't more readers signing up?

Section 06 is good to go - PL OK!

It's a mystery to me why some books go quickly and others languish for a long time. But this one is certainly heating up, and I was considering taking a couple of chapters for myself :D

I learned not to mind if more or less readers come, as long as people who come enjoy the book.
Love gothic novels? Try Children Of The Abbey. Like surprising mysteries? Try The Amathist Cross. Looking for an easy read? Try Harriet's Choice.

Yowch. That's very nearly past the limit of how long a section can go. I think it's 72 minutes. Maybe I better double check.

EDIT: Yes, it looks like 72 minutes is correct. So this one is fine. Just squeaked under the wire!

I believe it is 74, the max that will fit on an audio CD. I think chapter 10 will be even longer.

Hmm. That might be a problem. Stav, were you able to check on chapter lengths for this book so we can know if we need to split some?

Actually it’s 9. 7 was 39 pages; 9 is 43. Probably about 88 minutes.

1:11:20. Yikes.

Your work on this was really admirable! Such a looooong chapter but exciting too

Just a couple of tiny things:
At 32:07 by the way should be "by the by" I wouldn't normally point out something like this because the meaning is the same, but the language is more period to say by the by
56:15 quatorze is pronounced cat-torz
56:50 she should be he
1:01:26 should be I only saw him
1:02:44 you said some charming should be such charming
1:09:52 you said my dear Lashmar's should be my dear Lord Lashmar's...
