I have one orphan in "During the Persecution". The other two chapters needed have been promised for this weekend.
So, assuming that happens, if I could get a really quick turnaround on this chapter, the project could be cataloged this month! Would prefer a submission by Monday at the latest to give time to catalog.

About 3200 words. You can claim it here if interested: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=83193

Life in the Tower? I'll do it.

A Medley of Weather-Lore is cataloged.

NINE projects cataloged (so far) today!

Edit: make that an even 10.

27 March - 5 Days to Go. Start the countdown!

147 items - yes, 11 more than yesterday - cataloged so far this month. We're closing in on the record for any month ever at Librivox! Great work!

I'm working on a catch-phrase to celebrate this. Something like: Veni, Libri, Catalogi might not quite be grammatically correct. To be plural, I think this has to be Venimus, Librimus, Catalogimus. Perhaps: Venimus, Voximus, Catalogimus? Or maybe Catalogimus should be Releacimus....

Thanks, Todd

I think the strain of overwork is beginning to affect Todd, he is starting to think in Latin

28 March - 4 Days to Go!

This morning, we are at 154 items cataloged so far this month - just one below the previous 155 item record set back in July 2016. Drum roll please.

A couple of single orphan section items snuck in overnight; surely we can fill these again quickly and then complete them? Is not "Nibble the Bunny" the perfect book for the season - I mean, it must be about chocolate bunny ears, right?

Thanks, Todd

(NOTE to Alan and Kevin: I was looking forward at the end of the month to not having to arise so early each day to check fulls and completions on this project that it sometimes looks like I have shifted a couple time zones East. Still too dark for safe rowing by an hour or so.... But maybe I can find some way to continue an occasional "Mane Apud Todd" message just for you two....)

I will offer Venimus Legimus Finivimus as an acceptable Latin alternative here. Maybe not as catchy as your options though

I will miss the Mane apud Todd as well though.

ETA: We are now at 155, tied with the record.

Post by **ToddHW** » March 28th, 2021, 2:45 pm

And now we are at 156! A new winner - with still more than 3 days to go!

Veni, Voxi, Maxi Libri!

(Leni - since we are not yet done, I could not use your motto suggestion.)

I think we broke the old record with the book https://librivox.org/what-shall-we-do-by-leo-tolstoy/ which perhaps could be actually asking us "What Shall We Do Next?"

Thanks, Todd
